NEW BUSINESS:

Pentamere Missel Weapons College Event -

Dillon was approached about having Cynnabar host this event. The leaders
have an event site (N of Grand Rapids). He told them he would bring it up
to our group – but that he made no promises of hosting it. The event is
supposed to be approx. the 2-3rd week in April 2026

   -

   Dilon will get more information as those present had many questions
   (what would we need to do, do we need to be marshals, run taverns, front
   money…etc.)
