Officer Reports:
*Seneschal: HL Sabina di Zorzi
-2nd Quarter reports are due to Kingdom today!
-Due to personal reasons, Sigrid has had to resign from office, so the Contingency Deputy Seneschal and the Events Deputy positions are open again.
-I’ve been dealing with a lot of personal and family priorities, so this month hasn’t been very SCA focused. I didn’t think I’d be able to attend Champions, but that’s been worked out, so I’ll see you on Saturday. Unfortunately, I may not be able to be at Banner War, or at least not for all of it, so we’ll need to find another Seneschal in the area to help out.
-There has been some movement on background checks so we can get more folk to help youth activities and YAC.
-Banner War insurance should be coming through this week, and we should be getting a refund of $25 since we got the request in before the change in cost.
-Question about customary: it is in process
