A proposal was brought forth by Her Excellency Hanna (via Finn) that we might want to consider using this money to tithe to the Kingdom Travel Fund since it has been a while since the Barony as done so. Also suggested was that the Barony should also match the funds raised by the gift wrapping as well to tithe. It was decided that both are good ideas (no real objections) but will wait till we have final totals (after the holidays) before making final approvals.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Youth Fighting investigation of what is needed – <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mistress Claire had forms to start the free SCA youth background check.
