Class sign up is available on our website. Thank you all so much for being a part of the fun this summer. Lots of fun still to be had for the holidays. Morgan and Montega Blackdragon Baron and Baroness November 2014 Seneschal Says it All: Adalia VonderBerg Greetings Northkeep!! I am so proud to see so many of our populace travelling and letting Northkeep be seen at events! Fall is here! With that, we've got several offices open and several more accepting applications. If you're interested in serving as an officer, but need some help with application process or with deciding where your skills would best fit, let me know. If you're nervous about being an officer for the first time, we can find you a mentor, someone to help guide you through and to help you get comfortable in the role. Chemin Noir's Saturnalia event is in a few days. Come out and join our Canton as they put on their Roman-themed event that is sure to be full of epic awesomeness. Winterkingdom is right around the corner. Lady Jutte and Honorable Lady Annais are looking for volunteers for all sorts of positions from set-up to teardown/clean-up. We are also accepting teacher forms (the link to which is on the baronial website at http://web.northkeep.ansteorra.org/activities-and-events) To make scheduling easier, please fill in the form as completely as possible. Gulf Wars is only 5 months away. From Volunteer Point, Volunteering just got Easier!! Over the winter the Volunteer Point staff has been busy working to streamline your Volunteer experience at Gulf Wars! Now you can fill out your Information sheet online before the War then just drop by the 'Point to sign up for shifts and to drop off your tickets---How Easy Is That!?! Here's the link (http://tinyurl.com/GWVP2014) so you can tell all your friends! Please make sure that you select either Northkeep or Chemin Noir as the group you are donating your time for. Remember, your volunteer hours can make the difference in the war point and they also mean money for our groups. Thanks so much for all that each of you do to make this a truly awesome barony in which to live… You are appreciated! HL Adalia VonderBerg November 2014 Arts & Sciences Scene: Ysabeau Brossier Greetings from your friendly neighborhood A&S Minister! We have two A&S nights coming up that deal with very different aspects of my office. And I am thrilled to offer them and would LOVE to see lots of people at both! First, in November. HL Annais de Montgomerie has offered to host a charter party. You know all those lovely scrolls people get in court that we all “ooh” and “aah” over? Well, we need people to paint them. And you can learn how! Annais is an amazing artisan that will be there to guide us as we paint a scroll to be given out at a future event. Annais has the supplies, but if you have your own, feel free to bring them. Cost is $2 to cover brushes and palettes. The basics of charter painting will be covered. That will take place November 3 at 6:30 at the Martin East Library. Then, in December Her Excellency Kelandra Carmichael and Dona Therese Maria Giovanni have offered to teach “So You Want to Do a Feast?” In which Students will learn a few ways to tackle preparing for a feast, assembling a menu, formulating a budget, and a list of necessary kitchen staff to assist in a better feast experi- ence.
