Business Meeting Minutes

Thank you to everyone that made time to join us at the meeting last night. The Business meeting just after Pennsic is always in the middle of laundry and re-entry into the real world, so we’re not always at our most motivated.

I would like to congratulate Lady Arthes MacLeod on being re-affirmed as our Baronial Exchequer for another two-year term. It’s nice to know that we’re in good hands for another two years. Thank you for volunteering another two years and for your time and efforts over the last two years.

The next Barony Meeting will be on Sunday, 15 September 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at the Washington Blvd practice site. This is traditionally our newcomer meeting.

The next Business Meeting will be on Wednesday, 2 October 2019 at 8:00 p.m. at Allegheny Unitarian Universalist Church on the North Side.

Larder moving day!

Greetings All!

August 24th is the day of the Great Larder Migration! Please come out and join us to transport the larder from Michelina’s to Alaric & Elsbeth’s. We’ll be meeting at Michelina’s (107 Mattier Drive, Pittsburgh PA 15238) at 11 am to start loading vehicles.

After loading we’ll drive to Alaric & Elsbeth’s where we’ll unload.

There will be pizza and beverages for all who help and possible gaming afterwards (if we’re not too tired!).

Michelina estimates that one van (or two or three smaller vehicles should be enough to transport, but having an extra vehicle just in case would be good).

Please contact Alaric (alaric@pobox.com) if you’re able to help.

Many hands make light work!

In Service,

Alaric
