November 2015 Meeting

11 November 2015

Wells Fargo Training Room

Attending: Jutte, William, Juliana, Anna, Sifrid, Sofya, Berndt, Brigida

Seneschal:

New meeting site - Jutte called all over, but everyone wanted money, except Hy-Vee West in the wine tasting area. They'd just like to have us buy a little bit of merchandise.

The only problem is that the Jay-Cees already meet there the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays.

But the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays would free, so we vote to change.

Seneschal will be in Texas for the next business meeting.

Chatelaine:

No upcoming demos, not a lot going on right now.

Exchequer:

We have money. Profit of $651.21 from the event.

We vote to give a $200 donation to the Charles City food pantry.

Gida and Stasi going to inventory the feast and serving gear and make a list of supplies.

No new issues. Making new bows.
