Chatelaine
- Held a demo at Ben Avery School in Temecula. Thanks to all who showed up on May 30. Eight people helped by showing crafts like chainmail, blacksmithing, weaving, period games, calligraphy. No fighter attended this time but that is OK. We have been asked back for next year! The forged finger-rings and chainmail bracelets were what the kids got for free (and what they'll remember).
- New stuff for next year: block printing on fabric. Let's authorize dinner money for after the demo.
A&S
- What other things can we do at demos?
- Micheloe from Gallavally mentioned that they are looking for a new place in Perris for Archery practice.
- Black mulberries are ripe and ready to go at Marie's house
Treasurer
- We got $650 for the Ben Avery demo. We gave $65 to the Barony and $15 to Donal for chainmail, so after depositing $570, the Cantonal coffers are about $2300.
- What can we purchase with these funds?
  - A&S Supplies
  - Pavilion
  - Heavy armor for loan
  - Rapier and/or shinai loaner gear
Scribe -Minutes are available via email. Donal now has an updated list of email addresses. Donal is also gathering up/locating the Baronial library. He has most of the Canton's portion at his house.

Canton Website - Morgan is donating space on her web-server to act as the Baronial and the Cantonal website. She will try to make it all official at Baronial council meeting.

Bumper Stickers - It was suggested that we get Canton bumper stickers. No one had any further information.

Town and Gown Tourney - In the 1300's, students at universities had confrontations with the city's citizens. We (the Canton) might co-sponsor with the College of Sancti Geronimi a Tourney. Or how Town and Gown games at the Baronial Anniversary in October.
