TITHING

At last month's business meeting, Eleanor proposed tithing to Madrone and to the Kingdom Chirurgeons.  This month she read out the numbers again, which are as follows:

Current balance:           $1433.19

10% to Barony:            $143.32

Chirurgeons:                 $400.00 (approximately $266 + $143)

The tithe to the Barony is for 2003; the tithe to the Chirurgeons is for 2002 and 2003, since the 2002 check never got delivered.  We're also getting a tithe of about $400 from the Barony.

Eleanor made the motion, Dieter seconded it, and the measure was put to a vote.

10 ayes and no nays (surprise!).

The tithes are to be presented at Lionhearts.  Eleanor will request the check and a place on Their Majesties' court docket at the Baronial business meeting on Monday (June 7); Dieter will ask the

Baronial herald to add it to the court docket for the first court of Ragnarr and Bergdis. ;-)

NEXT SENESCHAL

There are three candidates for Seneschal:

Rosalind

Genevieve

Laurabelle (not for sole seneschalship -- say that 3 times fast!)

There was much discussion but little actually done, since Genevieve was not present.  We eventually concluded that we really need to meet and get to know her before we can make a decision about the leadership of the College.  Therefore, we decided to have a social/business gathering this weekend so that at least the 3 candidates can get to know each other.  Two times were proposed:

Friday, June 4, 7pm at the Wallingford Pizza House

(provided that we can reserve the back room)

Sunday, June 6, 11am at CT's house for brunch

Laurabelle was assigned to find out whether either of these times works for Genevieve.

At this meeting, the members of the College will come to a consensus about which candidate to support and will then make an announcement to the baron and baroness.

It should be noted that never in Sonnet's experience with the College (which is a very long time in College terms) has there ever been more than one candidate for seneschal!  We are making history!

OTHER BUSINESS

Laurabelle volunteered for the job of Chronicler and was apparently accepted.  It is unclear to her whether this means that she isn't running for seneschal any more. She was also thinking of Arts and Sciences Minister, but Chronicler is more urgent.

Ursula was invited to become either Herald or A&S Minister (to make up the third officer required by the SCA), but she has not yet made up her mind.

Finally, Eleanor suggested that she would reserve a table for the fall campus student org demo, and we all agreed that she should.
