Mistress Claire found a suitable site in Saline at the Liberty School. The site accommodations (large gym, auditorium, 4 class rooms, cafeteria (but no working kitchen)) were reviewed and discussed. There is also a large front lawn area and lots of parking. Part of the site rental fee also includes them cleaning. Due to lack of kitchen the plan is for a lunch tavern possibly but no feast. The site rental fee is $2500. All other sites found were either too small for similar costs or too expensive. After discussion about the site and it’s fit, it was agreed that this was the best option. However, due to time constraints for getting the event into the Kingdom newsletter (by this Friday the 20<sup>th</sup>) so the event can be “official” (by Society law), there is not time to go thru the normal 3-meeting discussion/approval process. Therefore it was put forth to the group and everyone agreed that this constituted and emergency and the normal 3-meeting process was waived. Then, a budget of $3000 was proposed (site rental fee plus any possible add-ons) along with Cynnabar supporting the event was put forth and <b>approved</b> by the group. So <b>we will be hosting Dag and AnneMarie’s Coronation this fall! </b>Mistress Claire will act as event steward and will submit the event to the Kingdom Calendar.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><u><span style='color:windowtext'>Announcements</span></u></b><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Monthly Officer reports will be due NEXT week at the July 23rd business meeting<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>There will be NO BUSINESS MEETING ON JULY 30th (due to Pennsic).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>There will be NO BUSINESS MEETING ON AUGUST 6th (the Monday after Pennsic).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Master Midair is a cheap date.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>The Brewers Guild meeting will be held this Saturday at 2:PM at Aelfric’s <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Look for their Excellencies Pennsic schedule soon via e-mail.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Her Excellency Hanna went over the upcoming memorials and funeral plans for Warder Arnolde (DeForest).
