Got permission to make some edits to the standard site contract, and Kingdom is getting with their legal folk about the biggest question.
In the process of having a new storage unit’s contract reviewed by Kingdom.
Announced the deadlines for upcoming events’ bids:
Champions 8/3/24 – due at May business meeting, 5/28
Banner War 9/20-22/24 – due at June business meeting, 6/25
Good Yule 12/7/24 – due at September business meeting, 9/24
Tried to get the Fairgrounds to give us a contract with 2024 rates for Ursulmas 2025 since it’s so early in the next year and we won’t get the 2025 rates until the fall, but they don’t appear to want to budge on that.
Still waiting on the background check for the person interested in the Youth and Family Activities position.
I need the first quarter waivers for fight practice to be sent to me so I can forward them to the Kingdom Waivers Deputy.
