Commentary from the Baron and Baroness of Calafia

Thank you all for braving the frigid air to make it out here. We are in the midst of a busy season. Winter Weekend is coming up soon. We just came off of Insandity Tourney and as always it was wonderful. Coming up we have Unbelted and then Estrella War. Dun Or is also hosting Festival of the Rose. The end of this month is the close of land allocation for Estrella. If you are going please remember to land allocate. You don’t have to be pre-registered to do so. After Estrella is Long Sword Great Sword and Calafia Gylendholt Friendship tourney.

We have announced our stepping down and letters of intent must be in by the beginning of March. Caid is in a very interesting state as there are 5 sets of Barons/Baroness’ are stepping down. Her Excellency is asking for the artisans to create stepping down gifts that can be looked back on later.

A suggestion was made by Baroness Eloise, that we use the arts auction at War to showcase the talent of our fighters. We’d like to donate a large portion to the Iron Brigade to help them make a trip out to Pennsic.

Commentary from the Seneschal of Calafia

There will be an Officers meeting on 1/27 @ Their Excellencies

Calafia/Gyldenholt Friendship tourney has been awarded to Lord Oliver

May War has been awarded to Frederick von Baden & Radulf of the Romani

We still need autocrats for Leodamus of Thebes, September War and Leif Erikson.

The Rec Council is in the process of becoming a 501(c)3 and I'm drafting the necessary addendum to the Rec Council's Standard Operating Procedures (bylaws)to address this change. This has little affect on the Barony because the RecCenter does not handle any monies for our group.
