When we decided no one else would attend, our Seneschale called the meeting to order.

Officers' Reports

• Seneschale - reports quarterly report will go in next week. Kingdom has sent a financial template. The appropriate officers will study it, then it will be sent to the Isenlist to be discussed, and we will vote upon it at the next meeting. Kingdom also suggest we purchase the Officer’s Manual published by Corpora. Debbie will look into the cost and then we will decide.
• Herald - absent.
• Exchequer - reports we still have funds.
• Rapier Marshal - absent.
• Heavy Weapons Marshal - reports he has two more folk who have tried heavy and think it’s fun.
• Archer Marshal - reports archery is going well, but we need more targets. If any Shireling is in one of the discount stores and sees the targets of plastic heat shrunk over a Styrofoam core, he requests you buy a couple. The Shire will reimburse you. Christian has recently donated one. The Shire’s thanks, Christian. Marshal also says we will soon be making specialty targets for some of the common shoots.
• Thrown Weapons Marshal - says they are having a good time, going to have to make new targets, and the question of whether anyone under eighteen can
  participate in thrown weapons practice has been clarified thusly: if one parent is in the nearby vicinity, it is permissible. Next weapons practice in garb is July 3rd. Food of a yet determined sort will be served in bread bowls. Christian reminds us that this is an opportunity, as well, to help make the rosaries for the Kingdom gift baskets.
• Castellan - reports four contacts, three from west of the mountains. Also we have four more folk who wish to play with the Shire, at least as much as their schedules allow. Castellan says we need more publicity for the Leather and Lace meetings in Waynesboro on second Tuesdays. Waine is going to attempt to arrange that.
• Minister of Arts and Sciences (MoAS) - reminds us Handcrafters is this week. We will be working on the Pennsic wall and heraldry. Next Fiber Arts will be hand knotting beads, taught by Lucrezia. Njal has a conflict, so Polyphony that was moved to this Thursday is now canceled. He reports Waine is now singing, but not with us. He will join us for events as he can. And we have another member. Polyphony will not meet in August.
• Dance Master - reports dance is tripping along, but will not be held the 4th of July. Will be held the 5th instead. The dance demo for the Piedmont Council on the Arts went reasonably well, thus making them aware of us.
• Minister of Minors (MoM) - has sent in her letter of intent, but has heard nothing, suspects it bounced.

Old Business

• Yard Sale again this Saturday. Setup starts at 6:00 a.m.
• Games Tourney is still in limbo.
• Pennsic. In two weeks a letter will arrive from the land office with information about land and numbers. Toby will contact the Isenlist. As everyone knows, he is camp cook again this year. He says he will make every effort to accommodate vegetarians, but would like some ideal how many will be there. Meal plan is $10 a day. If you aren’t on meal plan, there is a $2 camp fee.
• Karen is sewing the Pennsic camp wall, and Toby will see to the rigging.

New Business

• We need a new meeting site for Populace. Christian will ask about the conference room at her business, and we will discuss the move next month.
• Activities for A&S will be moving in September...
  • Polyphony will be at Njal’s
  • Fiber Arts will be at Anne’s
  • Handcrafters will remain at Rosecroft
