[Cynnabar] Introducing Cynnabar University and Showcase

Sat Mar 21 15:04:09 EDT 2020

THE GREAT NEWS!
Hey Cynnabar! We know that you're itching for meetings, classes, practices
and more! While we know it's not enough, we're hoping it will help take
away from the blues. This is why we're announcing....
CYNNABAR UNIVERSITY AND SHOWCASE
After a lot of discussion this week and the realization that we could be
home for a while, we want to make sure the people of the Barony continue to
support one another. Your Chatelaine, Social Media, Herald, Arts and
Science, Armored Combat, and Rapier Marshals have pulled together to create
a program that we are very excited to get started! Their Excellencies,
Seneschal, and Exchequer have all been contacted and support the Barony in
this endeavor. We'll be releasing more information and sign up for both the
University and Showcase tomorrow! Before we get into the difference, a few
things to note:

   - There will be support for Zoom who needs it. It can be used on
   phone/tablet/laptop/PC. You'll find that it's easiest to use on your laptop
   or a PC with a webcam.
   - We MUST follow state law at this time. This means if you are getting
   together with someone, you must maintain a distance of at least 6 feet. No
   videos that include 10 or more people in person will be scheduled. We have
   checked with Kingdom and these classes will be considered official baronial
   activities. If you go against society or state policy, action at the
   kingdom level may very well be taken.
   - Online classes are okay as official activities. No one will get in
   trouble as long as we are following state laws. This has been verified by
   the Kingdom Seneschal.

Without further adieu, I present to you the information you've been waiting
for! Cynnabar University will be open on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday
(Exceptions through the week can be made if we need to!) This is your
chance to host a formal class on a topic you'd like to share with others.
While this can be pre-recorded, we do have a system to use so that your
classes may be live! The Barony is currently subscribing to Zoom. Everyone
who wants access to it, will have access to offer a class. See below
information on what Zoom can provide. Regardless if live or previously
recorded, our current plan is to host classes at a specific time and
release them at a later to-be-determined date. This is to encourage
baronial participating and connection to attending Baronial meetups. We
will send you the link to the class through Email. Some classes may only be
available through Facebook. These will be noted. Cynnabar Showcase is going
to be less formal. These do not need to be signed up for. You are welcome
to have them pre-recorded and uploaded. You can also use Facebook/YouTube
to record and upload as well. Zoom will also be available if you sign up
for the program. Cynnabar Showcase offers other opportunities for groups to
meet, such as Scribal days, Bardic Circles, and more. (like classes, we can
work these on weekends if need be.) Specific topics may be announced each
day to encourage participation, but this does not restrict what you may
present. We do encourage you use #CynnabarShowcase when posting so that
everything gets linked into one spot! Note: Most of this activity will be
found on the Facebook page. You should be able to see the page but if you
are not signed up on Facebook, you will either need to create an account or
contact us via Email (Found below) to have someone to submit your work
there. ____________________________________ Once again, We'll have more
specific information and sign ups available tomorrow. In the meantime, You
can also contact us for more information/or sign up information if you
prefer through Email at cynnabarshowcase at gmail.com. We appreciate
everyone's support and assistance to keeping everyone as safe and healthy
as possible through this time. Sincerely, Cynnabar
