Period Cooking Workshop – Kimchi

November 25, 2022 Posted inA&S Night, Calendar, Canton of Lions End

When: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2022 AT 1 PM – 4 PM

Where: 383 Littleworth Lane, Sea Cliff, NY 11579

Gather around the table and learn of the 4,000 year old national dish of Korea. We will be making both white kimchi and the more familiar spicy red kimchi. The knowledge gleaned from this transfers to other fermented vegetable dishes from around the world.

If you want to bring some home, please bring jars or other containers to carry it. Due to the cost of materials, it will be $1.50 per pint/pound of kimchi.

Due to space restrictions, this workshop is limited to 10 people. Please RSVP to the host by email at seneschal@ostgardr.eastkingdom.org

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Thanks for the Barleycorn Sunday Kitchen Crew

October 23, 2022 Posted inAnnals

On the first Sunday of September, many volunteers from across the East came together to help put on the Sunday dayboard at the Feast of John Barleycorn. These people worked tirelessly, in less than optimal conditions, and without their service, the dayboard would not have come out on time and with the quality offered.

My deepest thanks to all the following people. If I have omitted anyone from this list, please accept my apologies and let me know so I can correct the oversight.

Charter Proposal: Default Event Refund Policy

October 22, 2022 Posted inAnnals, Publication

Based on the results of a discussion of the Financial Committee, I am proposing an amendment to Section XI of the provincial charter to add a default event refund policy.

In accordance with our bylaws, I am publicly announcing this proposal in draft format and allowing twenty-eight days for discussion before I call for a vote by the Provincial Officers’ Council.

— Nagashima Ichirō Ujimichi, October 2022

XI. EVENTS AND DEMOS 

P. Default Event Refund Policy

1. No refunds will be issued if the event does not make a profit, except when the refund request is made at least a week before the event.

2. When refunds are available, they must be requested via email, text message or letter postmarked to the Event Steward and/or Reservations Clerk at least 48 hours before the event.

3. If payment was made using PayPal, PayPal fees will be deducted from any refund issued.

4. Extenuating circumstances of a late refund request will be viewed on a case by case basis by the Event Steward.

5. The Event Steward has the option to have a refund policy that differs from this one. It must be posted to the event announcement at least a week before the event.

In Service to the Dream,
