Continuing Business:
1) There will be no commons meeting in August.  The September
	Commons meeting will be at Alexandre's, 552 Riverside Dr.,
	on Sep. 11.  The October meeting will be back at Medb's.
	Sean mentioned that in the fall, he may be able to get space
	for meetings at Hunter since he's trying to get a student
	group going.

2) A sewing circle is scheduled for August 20th, at Medb's as usual.

3) Hurley practice is still happening before fighter practice at
	Union Square.

Officers Reports:

1) Knight Marshall: Tadg reported that although all the permits have
	been submitted to the parks department for July, August, September
	and October, they have not responded.
		The next few weeks at practice, they will be checking
	both picture IDs and Auth cards in preparation for Pennsic.

2) Mistress of A&S: Tamara agreed to take over as our new A&S mistress,
	pending her membership which she intends to get before Pennsic
	(she'll be testing the new Credit Card membership option
	on the www.sca.org website.)  She will be contacting Derbogail
	to see about getting copies of old reports, files and so forth.

3) Web Minister: No report.

4) Exchequer: A Cheesecloth subscription has come in!  Sean says he should
	be able to piggyback last year's report onto the Ostgardr report
	since there was no activity.  With this subscription, though,
	there is now activity!

5) Herald: Sancha reports that the rush of submissions is over, but
	a spirited discussion took place about armory, naming
	conventions and consultations.  Alexandre had picked up the
	Whyt Whey banners and will get them to Sancha as part of the
	Heraldic regalia.  Canton members who want one to display at
	Pennsic should contact Sancha or Alexandre.

6) Seneschal: All quiet on the Eastern front.

7) Chronicler: The Cheesecloth was done and distributed to attendees.
	The actual mailing will go out soon.  The Chronicler reiterated
	a request that all the Cantonians keep an ear open and submit 
	to her information for the
	"By the Whey" section of the newsletter in particular.  She
	is looking for any news pertaining to Canton members, especially
	from events that she does not attend; things like awards and
	competitions or tourneys won, certainly, but also any other little
	bits of information of interest to other Canton members.

8) Historian: Elianne volunteered to become Canton historian.

Upcoming Events:

1) There is one more War Practices scheduled before Pennsic, Sunday
	July 20, at Kissena Park.

2) The Yule Event:
	The contract has been signed for December 6th. An event announcement
	is being put together and Medb is starting to get her staff
	together.  After a final check at Ostgardr Commons on the 18th,
	an event announcement will be submitted.

3) There was more discussion of a "Pilgramage Event," very low key, to
	be held perhaps in October.  Sancha is spearheading the effort.
