We must give others a chance to come in and make their mark within the SCA and help out as well. Also, having more people hold offices helps avoid burn-out within the group and also keeps the group fresh (and clean smelling!). So as I’m looking to do something more in line with my current…caliber, and hand this office off in a few weeks to Mistress Kay. It weird. I will both miss writing these meeting minutes up and at the same time be glad it’s not something I’ll have to do anymore.
