[SCA-BMDL] BMDL Barony Meeting Wednesday September 10

Fri Sep 5 10:24:24 EDT 2008

We might need to check with student council to make sure that we don't need pre-approval of flyers.? I know at my college you needed approval prior to posting or the group would get in trouble.?

I could post flyers at Carnegie Mellon on Monday, if someone else could make them (I wouldn't really know what to put on them).? You could email them to me, and I'll print and poster.

The Debatable Choir has frequently performed a song at September Barony meeting. We could probably do that again if people think it would be appropriate.

I like She'erah's ideas.  Some are already taken care of (e.g. we do not

have a Chancellor Minor to talk about kids' activities) but it is a good 
idea not to clutter the announcements with calls for anyone interested in 
being the Barony MOL, for example.
Helewys, do you have some flyers (and electronic advertising) that can be 
used this coming week to publicize the meeting?  We had talked about that 
last year and getting more newcomers there would be important.
In Service,
Ariella
