device on your page.

*Other Group Discussion*

*Raising Funds to cover Non Member Surcharges.*  Sir Gregoire plans a Bake
Sale at St Cecilia to collect money to pay for any Non Member
surcharges.  Contact
Greg Less for more information.

The Chatelaine’s office is able to hold any extra funds to benefit non

Please Donate!  Kay commits to a sweet yeast bread of some sort.

*Arrow Order:  *The last call for a group order of arrow shafts.  Arrow
dipping and some shooting will happen at Kay’s when the weather warms up.  SEE
Forester Gray ASAP if you need arrows.

*How can Cynnabar be more gender aware and inclusive?* Draco is researching
and preparing a presentation on period gender identification and pronoun
variations. Plans to present it as a workshop here in June, as a dress
rehearsal for a class at Pennsic. Draco is contacting other SCA groups to
see what information she can get and they might need.

Aaron added a space on the Order of Precedence for preferred pronouns and
perhaps gender identity. This will help the Baron and Baroness and any who
write award recommendations to get titles right.

This was an idea that evoked strong feelings and opinions.  Thank you to
everyone for their thoughtful words.
