Welcome to the Online Clann Tartan Newsletter for November 2011

Staff Elections at the Fall Business Meeting

The November Members' Meeting will be held Saturday the Fifth at 10:00 at Yoders' house, the rec center no longer being available on Saturdays. We will be holding Staff elections. Positions open are the Captain, the Head Campfollower, and all positions under them. The position of Chief of Staff will be open in the November 2012 election. If you are interested in being on the new Staff please contact the Chief of Staff, or any Board member or show up at the members' meeting and offer your services.

As of press time we have two candidates for Captain: Marty Byers and Rich Mueller. Margaret Kirkpatrick will not be running for another term as Head Campfollower.

Wanted!

Submissions for the Newsletter!

Items must be received by the 15th of each month to be considered for inclusion for the upcoming months issue. Mailed submissions will not be returned unless requested. All pertinent submissions will be considered as space permits. All research articles must reference at least three sources. Submissions may be broken in multiple parts.

Deadline for articles to go in the December newsletter will be the 15th of November.

Present for the Board were Bruce, Mia, Julie, and Karen.  Also present 
were Sarah and Margaret.

Vice President:  Pendra did a wonderful job on the business cards but 
has not been able to work up a trifold flyer yet; this is still pending.

Treasurer:  Year to date deficit is $1,201.  However, our expenses and 
income are not even over the course of the year and we still have our 
biggest show to come.

Secretary:  Minutes for June and July have been approved via email.

Mia is going through Winona and will be able to retrieve our musket from 
John O'Duggan.  She will get in touch with him about this plan.

Guilds:

Garden:  Laurie contributed fruit to Hudson: the Board sends its thanks.

Dance:  The Minneapolis parks and recreation people now require to see 
our 501C3 certification from the IRS.  The rest of us would not mind 
seeing it either; we do not have a copy of this document.  Bruce has put 
the wheels in motion to get one.

Member meeting in November will be at Yoders' as the rec center is now 
closed on Saturdays.  It will be November 5 at 10:00 AM.  Staff 
elections will be held; Captain and HCF for two years and subordinate 
positions for one year.

The next member meeting will be in February.  One of the agenda items will
be Board elections for the President, Treasurer, and Camp Rep positions.  
The Treasurer has indicated that he will run again; the President will 
not.  

Respectfully Submitted...

NOVEMBER 2011

DECEMBER 2011

Hello all,

The following is a list of the dates of the events that are currently on the schedule for this year. The staff has met and decided to keep this running list of events in the newsletter to give you a chance to get an idea of what is going on this season as well as keep you updated to changes in the schedule.

The column titled status will include the following information.

Tentative- this means that an event organizer or Clann has expressed a strong enough interest in doing this event that it warrants reserving space on the calendar for the event.

Pending- this is the next stage of an event. This means that the Contracts Administrator has entered serious discussion about Clann doing an event but we are still not committed to the event. You should however if possible think about whether or not you may be able to attend this event.

Scheduled- this level means that the board and staff have approve the event and we are committed to providing manpower to making the event happen. When an event is assigned this level please let the HCF know as soon as possible if you can or can not attend this event.

Canceled- This means that for various reasons an scheduled event has been removed from the current season. We will try and give as much notice as we can prior to canceling an event.

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact staff regarding this matter

Thanks,
Your Staff
