Coronets Nobildonna Fiore Leonetta Bardi and Lord Frithuric Ulman:
We’ll be at GNEW, looking forward to seeing everyone there. Pennsic is a little tentative, her Excellency is unlikely to make it. Looking forward to Falling Leaves as well. There will be a court, and we have a backlog.
Officers:
Seneschal Lady Sugawara no Naeme
Welcome to July Council.
There will be a Curia on July 22, there is a new award being proposed (among other possible business). Let myself or their excellencies know if you have business.
Eadgyth: I am wondering about the status of the recent baronial policy revisions. The last minutes had the vote record, but updates haven’t happened?
I am a little behind, but it will happen as soon as possible.
I need a deputy. I desperately need a deputy. I have an emergency deputy, but I need a routine deputy who can help me out. They don’t, immediately, need to be someone who would take it on, but I need someone. Around this time next year, I will need someone who is willing to take it on in the future.
Justin: I can fill this role if absolutely necessary.
