Traditionally, Wednesday of War Week at Pennsic is the time for Drunken Court, and as we are not willing to let a plague stop our fun times together, we are pleased to invite you all to our online version: Tiki Drunken Court! In addition to sharing Ancient and Honorable Secret and Delicious Tiki drink recipes ahead of time so we are all suitably sipping on theme (with non-alcoholic options, too), there will be surprises and laughter galore! Rumor has it that there will even be shenanigans! And prizes! And did we mention laughter? Wear your finest tropical "garb" and show your Cynnabar pride on Wednesday, August 5th at 7:30 pm EDT on Zoom! Please join us for the fun!

Nezkha to forward the amount of the payment for loaner armor storage, and a final copy of the church contract 2. *GDOT update* - Mistress Hannah ? Staff members are still needed ? Ideas in development for a virtual GDOT for 2020 ? Planning for 2021 is also taking place 3. *Fundraiser potential*- Lady Beth ? Team Cynnabar shirts - have a logo designed, take orders (with customization of name on back if wished) ? Designs for consideration may be ready to discuss at the next meeting *Previous notes on this topic*: ? Beth suggested a fundraiser to offset some of the money we would not be making as the result of not having events. Would like to see a ?Team Cynnabar? t-shirt with logo design. Would have customized areas on each individual t-shirt (like names or years, or heraldry, different color shirts, etc.) ? Shirts would need to be made as a bulk order to keep production costs lower ? but paid for in advance by each person ordering ? no Baronial funds output *NEW BUSINESS* 1. The mandate for ?small? group gatherings has been capped at 10, regardless of whether the gathering is inside or outside. 2. Several people agreed that having an all-in-one calendar, showing both Baronial events and Kingdom and Inter-Kingdom virtual events would be very helpful. 3. There was discussion about a call for topics of interest for virtual gathering, teaching, sharing etc. Ceara has access to the prior interest survey and will share information at the next meeting. *Barons* ? An Autocrat is needed to plan a ?not meeting? gathering for when we are allowed to all get together, involving fun activities and games. ? Pennsic Drunken Court - Tiki theme to be held via zoom Aug 5th ? Happy to see opportunities for virtual gatherings and *Assistance for our meeting venue, Peoples Presbyterian Church, Milan* In prior meetings there were discussions about what the Barony can do to assist Peoples Presbyterian Church in lieu of payment, while everything is shut down due to Covid. Reverend Leia shared the following list. Please participate as you like and are able. ? *Note*: There is a special online service Reverend Leia is leading on Monday in honor of her very favorite (very medieval) saint, Wilgefortis. It's going to be on Facebook Live at 8pm on Monday, July 20 on Peoples' page. Here is the calendar link: https://peoplespresbyterian.org/events/evening-prayer-for-saint-wilgefortis-day/ And here is her blog post about how Wilgefortis is the best princess: https://peoplespresbyterian.org/july-16-2020-week-17-of-isolation/ How many of you already know that she is a mythical bearded princess from the Middle Ages. J *Activities:* ? Weeding around the church grounds - we will select some dates/times to do this, in order to accommodate schedules, weather, and social distancing. Nancy will be our point of contact on workdays as to what needs to go and what stays. ? Music recordings, video and/or audio of public domain music, Rev. Leia would be beyond stoked to include in a Sunday service (almost all of the music has been her singing by herself in her craft room) (public domain for music means that it was written/composed/re-arranged before 1922). Please contact Rev. Leia at: ppcpastor at peoplespresbyterian.org if you are interested. ? Ongoing project to knit/crochet hats for cancer patients and donate them to St Joe?s Hospital. On the third Thursday of the month (e.g., July 16), we knit together from 1-3, although "together" is currently relative. https://peoplespresbyterian.org/events/hats-for-cancer-2020-08-20/ Please contact Rev. Leia at: ppcpastor at peoplespresbyterian.org if you are interested. ? A blood drive is being organized at the church sometime this summer, but the Red Cross needs to have 30 people confirmed before they can finalize plans, so if anyone has some blood they'd like to get rid of, that would be great. Ideally, it would be their own blood. Please contact Rev. Leia at: ppcpastor at peoplespresbyterian.org if you are interested. ? Rev. Leia has been learning to how to do everything for the website, and would love feedback from those with website design or marketing experience. ? Rev. Leia: ?Follow the church on social media so the algorithm thinks we're super cool (I can't always promise quality content, but every Thursday, I post a picture of a mouse having adventures, so that should count for something)? - special note that the Church newsletter is called the Churchmouse. *REMINDER: **Starting 1 July 2020 MK requirements for in-person meetings to take place:* 1.
