Continuing Business:
1) There will be no Commons Meeting in May.  In June, we will try
	moving Commons to the 2nd Monday (rather than 2nd Thursday).
	So, June Commons is on the 14th.
	
Officers Reports:

1) Knight Marshall:  Luis de Castilla was confirmed as the new Whyt
	Whey Knight Marshall.  He told us that Ervald is still working
	on the Union Square permits, specifically the parking issues.
	There is, therefore, no start date for the Union Square practice
	at this time.
	
2) Mistress of A&S: Nothing to report.

3) Web Minister: Lev got some pictures at Coronation and will
	be getting them up soon.

4) Exchequer: No report.

5) Herald: Judith's, err, Lady Judith's, arms are up on the Roll of
	Arms on the Web.

6) Seneschal: Commons date has moved.

7) Chronicler: The Cheesecloth was late (but the Seneschal accepts the
	blame). Eularia got addresses from attendees to mail out the
	Cheesecloth when it comes out.


8) Historian:  Reported via email that she is learning calligraphy
	to write up some history.

Recent Events:

1) Lots of folks went to Mudthaw and people seemed to have
	a good time.

2) Lev was at Gulf Wars and noted that they had a lot of Equestrian
	events as well as lots of fencing and combat archery (by
	Eastern standards.)

3) Coronation was very nice.  The ceremonies were good and the feast
	was excellent.

4) Alexandre, AEllin and Llewyllan all made it to the Lunacon demo.
	It's hard to tell what kind of response will get, but
	it seemed to go well.  The lectures/panels seemed more
	of a draw than the fighting.

Upcoming Events:

1) Balfar's Challenge in CT is not too far away.

2) On May 15, the Lief Ericsson Day demo is supposed to happen,
	but we have little other data.

3) Sewing Circle at Medb's is back on!  The next one will be May 26th.

4) The date for the Ft. Tryon Demo is set, October 3rd.

5) Plans proceed for the WW Masque in June.  The contract for the site
	is signed, so all systems are go.  It isn't too early to
	start making reservations.

Other Business:

1) The Tisch documentarians made it to Mudthaw and got some footage.
	They were planning to make it to Coronation but didn't.
	Alexandre hasn't heard from them in a few weeks.
