Old Business

• Bumper Stickers: Companies need to have an idea of what we want before they commit to a price or any more detail.
• Window Stickers: We can get 100 for $400.

Baronial Anniversary in October

• It has been suggested that the Canton sponsor games of some sort.
• And we got some suggestions: Celtic Jacks: nseed a fencing mask, fencing targe, and golf tube arrows. Draw a circle on the ground from which the target person can not move. People toss arrows at the victim. The victim who evades the most arrows wins. First 1 person throws the arrow. Then 2 people throw arrows. Then 3 people throw arrows and so on. When the victim is finally hit, they are out.

Baronial Presentations

• There will be a change of Baron and Baroness sometime in the upcoming year. We need to start thinking of what to present.
• One good suggestion: Instead of a physical gift, have a bard explain a Celtic ceremony where everyone from the Canton will bring their mugs and toast to new Baron and Baroness.

Dreiburgen News - Six copies of this July 1998 issue were available to the Canton. Baroness Ulrike might help produce it in the future.

(My thanks to Lady Valinda for the rest of the meeting minutes - Donal)

1) A request for "Known World Armorial" was made by Baroness Ulrike and passed by those present. The cost for this is approximately $95.

2) Miguel Esteban Franco de Los Rios announced he is the Autocrat for Dreiburgen Yule. There will be further announcements in upcoming CP's. (aside) It sound's very interesting with several different ideas being implemented.

3) The Baron & Baroness of Starkhafn (sp?) will be stepping down at Starkwars.
