Where: Online  https://meet.google.com/yfs-vnqv-rqa?hs=122&authuser=0

Hosted by: Vicereines Sofya and Angelica

Join us for a relaxed and engaging evening at “Cocktails with the Vicereines”, an informal virtual gathering where you’re invited to bring your favorite drink and settle in for conversation and camaraderie.

Curious about what it takes to be a Viceregent? Interested in running, or just want a peek behind the scenes? This is your chance to hear directly from the Vicereines about their roles, responsibilities, and the heart of service in Ostgardr.

We’ll also be discussing:

  • Plans for Pennsic and camping with Ostgardr
  • Ongoing and upcoming projects within the Province
  • Your ideas and suggestions. What would you like to see happen in Ostgardr?

If you’re working on a project, we’d love for you to share it! Whether you’re new, returning, or a long-standing member, this is your opportunity to connect, contribute, and celebrate the growing unity and friendship within our expanded Province.

This is your Ostgardr, and we can’t wait to see you there!

Sofya Gianetta di Trieste Vicereine, Crown Province of Ostgardr
