Gregor and Genoveva thanks folks for help with their camp/shade during the storms. We were well represented at both the A&S displays as well as teaching classes. Camp ran very smoothly with lots of people there for the setup. There was also lots of good service done at Pennsic by the folks of Cynnabar and it is very much appreciated.

Both these items are kept under a separate “camp budget”.

This is both an good exposure as well as a fund raising opportunity for the Barony. From the first week in November thru Christmas, Nicola’s Books has a gift wrapping table that volunteers can sit and wrap books for patrons. The patrons can leave tips for the volunteer wrappers which they get to keep as donations. This was done last year and was very fun. The Barony made almost $300 last year. This year, Amyon has graciously offered Cynnabar first choice if there are any specific dates we want to have for this. After a good discussion at the meeting, it was decided that Cynnabar would like to man the wrapping table on Nov. 17th and Nov. 24th. Both very good days for sales (and fund raising opportunities!). We will get times for those that can volunteer scheduled later. We just need 2 people at a time at the table in 2 hour shifts, in garb of course. So it’s not a big burden to commit to. If there are those that want to consider doing this at other times during the holiday season, that can be done as well and would just need to be coordinated thru Amyon. Look for e-mails from Amyon with further information soon.<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><b><span style='color:windowtext'>New Group Rapier Marshal </span></b><span style='color:windowtext'>–</span><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:windowtext'>Galen has thrown his hat in the ring to become Cynnabar’s next Group Rapier Marshal.
