Dreiburgen Yule: Yule went quite well with a lot of food. The site change did well (we got a smaller room) for the small crowd that showed up for the event. We lost just a little bit of money on the event. The site tokens were great. Everyone had fun. Their Excellencies lead the populace dancing. The feast leftovers were donated to a homeless shelter. The people there were very appreciative of the gift.

Steinsee Anniversary: Be there.

Sancti Geronimi Anniversary: March 14. Things are in the planning stage.

Spring Crown: April 17 at Bogart Park in Beaumont. Crown Prints announcement sent off. Autocrats had a meeting last Sunday (January 11). They possibly might be another meeting at Gallavally Anniversary. More meetings are planned as the event gets closer. Master Aldred will help with the layout of erics and space for pavilions. Lady Elizabeta will run a food court/tavern. She has a 10' by 10' Eaze-Up. She is taking care of all required county and park paperwork.

THLady Miriam will provide food for their Majesties, their Excellencies, and those Their Majesties invite to their table. THLord Donal and Lord Eoin are making the site tokens. A call has been put out for event volunteers. Need a parking crew. Should ask people to carpool due to limited parking space. Need a dedicated parking volunteer to direct people. Need setup and breakdown help for pavilions.

The park wants $2 per head for projected attendance plus $10 per merchant. The event gate will be at the park gate. Asking $100 for food for Royals.

Pentathlon: Does Dreiburgen want to host the upcoming Pentathlon in March 2005? Need a large site with lots of parking and classrooms. We will have to come up with a guarantee of 20+ volunteers for the two days of the event. If we use a school, the brewing competition might be done in an RV parked on the street.
