Baron Gregoire reported that the Barony has a Facebook page with wrong information and the web links need to be updated. Baroness Hannah, Lady Erin, Baroness Giovanna and the Seneschal are moderators to this page. Giovanna and Hannah will make the current updates needed for the page.<br>
<br>It was also brought up that permission should be requested from the group before creating any Facebook or other web-based page in the name of Cynnabar. <br> <br> <br><font size="3"><i><u>Spring R.U.M. 2011</u></i></font><br>
Her Excellency Baroness Hannah reports that the Barony is being asked if we would like to host this event in the spring, probably February. One of the issues is that we will be just finished with 12th Night in January and preparing for Terpsichore in March.<br>
