Old Business:
1) The I-CON demo went well.

Continuing Business:
1) The next commons meeting was not scheduled.

2) Meadhbh has scheduled a sewing circle for April 16th, at her
	place, starting at 6:30 or 7PM.

3) Another sewing circle is scheduled for May 14th.

Officers Reports:

1) Knight Marshall: Ervald for Tadgh.  Union Square will be soon
	we hope.  Ervald is considering a non-armoured basics
	class for the very new fighters on Tuesdays in Washington
	Square park, prior to meeting at Josie Woods.  There
	is also a possibility of an adult education class on armour
	construction somewhere.  Valgard has also begun a
	household fighter practice on Sundays.

2) Mistress of A&S: Anne mentioned that there has been a good
	turnout at the vocal music schola, learning a variety of
	music, and there is talk of perhaps doing a basic schola 
	of some kind at Union Square Fighter Practice.

3) Web Minister: No report, but the website continues to be updated.

4) Exchequer: Sean was out sick.  Alexandre will coordinate with
	Sean to get the paperwork done.

5) Herald: Sancha is still collecting info for the roll of arms.

6) Seneschal: All quiet on the Eastern front.

7) Chronicler: No report, but intending to get a May issue out.

New Business:

1) PS87 in Manhattan would like us to attend/give a demo on May 31st
	at the school.  This has the potential to turn into a meeting and
	practice site.  Ervald is the contact.

2) We discussed having a "picnic" event at a Manhattan park.  Questions
	raised were the possibility of grilling, which is forbidden in
	some parks, what permits would be needed and what bonds we might
	need.  Elianne would be happy to be Deputy Autocrat but we
	need a lead Autocrat for this.

3) We also discussed the idea of a feasty/A&Sy event at Meadbh's building.
	The room is nice and could do a sit down feast for 50. (The hard
	limit is, I think 75, and so once you add staff and so forth,
	50 or maybe 60 would be the maximum.)  There are a few questions
	that need to be answered by the management company before we can 
	ahead.  However, Meadbh will be the Autocrat, Alexandre will be
	the Head Cook, and Sancha will research the theme.  The dates
	we are tentatively looking at are December 6 or 13.
