      We made money! $1500 came in (this includes the NMS though.)

      There was discussion about the size of the church and it sounds like

      6.

      Tavern took in just over $500. Profits are being donated to the “hat”

         The church isn’t in a hurry for approval on this and can wait for

Officer’s Reports

Seneschal - Ceara has been running meetings for me while I’m in class -
thank you!

Exchequer -  I am behind in submission of the monthly report but will get
done this weekend.  Beth did update me on Terp numbers and some of the
receipts.

Chatelaine -

Stuff came home from Terp

New people had fun at Terp!

MOAS -

Baronial A&S Interest Survey is now public and can be found in the FB group

Armored - Nothing to report

Rapier - No report

A&S - See link to survey above in announcements

Herald -.

Website account created

Social Media -

Updated contact on website

Gold Key and barn inventory has been updated to homepage.

Checking on link for website for Grand Day.

Chronicler -

1) April CITADEL is being assembled and should be "published" by April 1. I
have asked Their Excellencies if they will contribute, since this is the
primary recording of the current activities in the Barony.

2) I will submit my quarterly report to my Regional/Kingdom Chroniclers on
time.

3) As Deputy Webminister I am keeping the Grand Day of Tournaments website
up-to-date as I receive content.

I recently updated an streamlined the Chroniclers page on the Cynnabar
website. The previous version, against "best practices," made you scroll
through a lot of unnecessary text. It's now just the publishing schedule
and how to submit material.

I want to also thank Baroness Valka and Baron Bjarki for their "Words from
Their Excellencies" which I received today, to complete the April CITADEL.
Thank you!

Webminster -

Got the permissions set to be able to create user accounts on the new
site.  Soon I will ask one or two people to review what I have so far.
There is still quite a bit to do.

I was working with the help desk person until she had some real life
challenges and had to take a month off.  I hope to resume working with her
soon.  On the old site: Waiting for Finn to request a user account so I can
approve him and swap out Diamante.  The next event will probably be Spring
revel?  Someone please let me know when there is a firm date and  other
specs on this.

Archery (vacant) -

Their Excellencies -
