Dreiburgen Baronial Council Meeting - December 9, 2003 in Corona, CA

Baronial Welcome: Thanks for coming out to the meeting. Production of scrolls has become burdensome to the Kingdom, so all geopolitical areas will now make their own scrolls. Baroness Robynne has master pages for each canton to take. Their Excellencies had a great time at Queens Champion Equestrian.

Seneschal Welcome: Please sign in. We have a regnum sheet going around. Please correct any incorrect information. Please sign the Permission roster if you want more than your email address listed on the website. Domesday reports are due to Kingdom officers and the Seneschal, due by Dec 31.

Upcoming Events: Dreiburgen Yule, Caid's 12th Night on Jan 10, Steinsee Anniversary on Jan 17, maybe Gyldenholt Anniversary on Jan 31.

Arts & Sciences: There is only one cantonal A&S officer, the one in Gallavally. Nothing is generally going on during the holiday season.
