- We have submitted our Letter of Intent to continue as Baron and Baroness for additional 2 years. Owynn read our Letter of Intent into official record:
Greetings to the Officers and Populace of the great Barony of Iron Bog,
Serving as your Baron and Baroness has been the greatest pleasure and honor of our SCA experience. Though we know we have had a learning curve, we have tried to work hard to encourage and support the people of the Barony both at home and afar. We feel as though time has been short, and that we have so much more yet to do. And so, with your vote of confidence we would very much like to serve for an additional two years as Baron and Baroness.
Yours in Service,
Declan and Aibhilin
Baron and Baroness of the Barony of Iron Bog
- Owynn then read from the Baronial Charter of how to proceed:
- An announcement must be posted in the Baronial Newsletter and the Website within 5 days of the announcement. Owynn will send a letter to Pixie to put in the Newsletter, and to Aibhilin to post to the Website. He will also post it to the email list.
- If no other candidate has submitted a letter of intent within one month of the Baronial Seat announcing its intention to continue, a vote of confidence will be taken by closed ballot at the next business meeting.
- If the sitting Baronial Seat is successful in the vote of confidence, then they will continue through an additional 2 year term of office.
Exchequer-Molly
- I may be unable to attend tonight’s business meeting, as I messed up my delicately balanced Girl Scout/Iron Bog schedule. Although, if we are voting on me continuing as Exchequer tonight I can try to pop in! Either way, hopefully Duncan will be in attendance, and can always shout a message upstairs to me if I am needed for anything.
- We currently have $8318.04 in the account. This is after all the requested refunds for Mitzvah, plus paying the Pennsic storage fee. As far as I know, the only upcoming expenses are for River War.
- As soon as I hit send on this message, I will contact the Paypal Exchequer about getting River Wars set up. I do not believe there is anything before the Financial Committee at this time.
