Angelica: highlights of past month (Cloisters, Fiber fest, Ragnarr interview, Scribal workshop)

Uji:

  • Call for Letters of Intent for new officers. If one is opposed, we will have a meet the candidates and the vote will be at December commons. Deputies needed for all positions.

– New refund Policy

Francisco: Change to provide timing window regarding profitability. Refund requests 7 days or more before event will be granted regardless of event profitability.

Mathghamhain supports

Uji to make adjustment and have new version for vote ASAP

– Provincial Storage Unit: 2 basically equal sites in different locations: Mt. Vernon (accessible by 6 train) and Floral Park

Populace needs to vote on storage, and then financial committee. Kitchen gear, green-and-white, and gold key will be stored. Cost is about $1,200/yr. Needs easy accessibility to people w/vehicles and close to event sites, plus accessibility from city is also good. Seems like Mt. Vernon is more accessible to all, but both are basically equivalent.

Populace vote: 10 in favor of Mt. Vernon, 0 in favor of Floral Park

Angelica: upcoming events/workshops/practices

Weekly fighter practice will be moving indoors to Manhattanville. Goat’s Inn this weekend.

Crown Tourney: Valgard and Padraig fighting in it. Provincial Apple Picking 9/29 and Cider Pressing 9/30. A&S future banner workshop? Whyt Whey museum outing 11/6. St. Andrew’s in An Dubh 11/5. 100 Minutes War 11/19. Virtual A&S 11/17

Thanks for the Barleycorn Sunday Kitchen Crew

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

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,

Nagashima Ichiro Ujimichi
