May Business Meeting

Officer Reports - All officers that send in reports using email, please check to see if it was received. It was reported that several have been lost somehow and are now floating around somewhere in the virtual reality of the wide world web.

Seneschal Candidates - All volunteers to be our new Seneschal, please submit your name at the June business meeting for a vote by the populace.

Shire Presentation - Lisa suggested to the group that we present our new Prince and Princess with a gift basket of goodies. All those wishing to donate gifts to Their Stellar Highnesses and their children, please see Lisa for details.

Gleann Abhann Regalia - At the Investiture of Their Stellar Highnesses Uther and Kenna; over 200 pieces of new regalia was contributed to the Principality inventory. It has been declared by casual conversation that during Their reign, these items will go fast, because our new Prince and Princess intend to finally reward all the faithful, talented and deserving gentles of the Principality. There will always be a need for regalia, whether for this reign or those to come, so it was offered to the group by a spokesperson from the household of Sable Hand to join with them in making new regalia for the Principality. Workshop dates and times will be forthcoming. All those interested in helping to make regalia, please see Tony or Lisa for details.

Award Letters - Their Stellar Highnesses, Uther and Kenna have asked your Chronicler to personally invite all those in our group to please, PLEASE write letters of award recommendations for the deserving gentles of this group. It was told that They personally know of several members of our group that deserve award(s), but can not bestow the honor without such letters within Their Hands. Our Prince and Princess accept electronic submissions as well as snail mail. Email: prince@gleannabhann.org and princess@gleannabhann.org or send mail to: Curt and Sperry Workman, 1732 Euclid, Memphis, TN 38114 NOTE: Please refer to your Rooks Haven Directory for the list of Principality awards.

History Corner - Andy presented an informative account of the significant historical happenings during the same 100 years of England, Germany, France and Spain. Thank you, Andy!

Gleann Abhann Anniversary - Donations to Gleann Abhann's 5th Year Anniversary Event, scheduled in August at the Gulf War's campsite will be used to OFF SET the admission fee that will be charged per person. If a certain amount is donated before a certain date, then the admission fee will be deducted nearly half, but will not be free as previously reported. At our May Business Meeting, it was unanimously voted to donate $100 to this cause, but because of certain unforeseen obstacles, this donation has not yet been made. Our Exchequer, Drew, has important information about this topic to share with us at our June Business Meeting on June 3rd.

Dear Counselor

Dear Counselor:
I think that I have done a lot in the S.C.A. and I really want an award, especially an A.O.A. What can I do to get people to write award recommendation letters for me? Signed: Service is My Middle Name

Dear SIMMN:
Ok, first, look in the mirror. Is there any brown stuff on your nose? If not, then the best way to get an award of any kind is to do the service or whatever without expecting recognition. The folks around you know what you're doing and will follow suit if your motives and heart are in the right place.
