We are in search of a new Chancellor Minor! Sadly, our wonderful Theo has had to return to Malagentia, and so we are in search of a gentle who wishes to work with the Youth of our Barony. Please emailseneschal@carolingia.eastkingdom.org to apply. The chancellor minor also speaks for the order of the comet until such time as the members are able to take over the role.

The Chancellor minor is responsible for promoting children’s activities at events and in the Barony. They are a warranted and background checked position.
Stephanie Leatherfoot has expressed interest.

As of March 1, the east kingdom no longer has ANY covid regulations. Site owners, including homeowners, may require masking. We can encourage masking, but not require it. 
Aaradyn will be purchasing an air purifier for Baronial use.

It may also be worth asking individuals to bring some to events if available.
We could also have a build event for Rosenthal Boxes.
Frithuric: Please consider the logistics of storing these before building to many for the Barony.
An e-mail with filter recommendations will be sent to the baronial mail list for individuals who would like to purchase them for events they hold, or to bring to events, they can.
