Theme: Soups for Ithra (Peas/Split Pea, Hens In Broth/Chicken soup, &
Lentils)
We may not get all of them done, but I have everything for the Split Pea &
Lentils.
Location: 4412 S 160th Street Tukwila, WA 98188 (please park on the street

FYI:
Request for Feast at Champions on August 8th, will discuss logistics.
A Head Cook will be needed to set up the menu as well as coordinate with
Vashti & Constantia.
On February 28th, it looks like we will be moving all of our baronial stuff from our existing storage unit to the new and improved one. Volunteers will be cheerfully accepted. I expect to start about 9 am. Thank you in advance for the help.

This is a reminder that the first lesson in our basic heraldry series will be at FCS on Friday! It will start at 7:30 and last 20-30 minutes. There will be no handout, so bring note-taking materials if you would like.
This installment will include historical background and uses of armorial heraldry, as well as the basics about tinctures and their use. We may begin to do simple blazon practice depending on time and inclination of attendees.

PS: Last year the weather was most uncooperative so we hope to dodge the squalls and have some silly fun on the range. Feel free to petition your Diety of choice that it’s a wonderful rain free day!
My term as Webster is up! It was up in August and I didn’t notice! I would like to step down, and soon.
My ‘platform’ when I applied for the job was that I would redo the Wyewood website in such a way that anyone could be the webster. And now I have done that. You don’t need to know code to update the site anymore! Can you write emails, or comments on websites? Then you have all the technical skill you need to update the website.
I have offered to stay on as the background tech person to make sure the site stays up and running. It’s on my server, so I would have been doing that anyway. The webster just needs to update content as needed, manage the mailing list (not much to be done there), and keep an eye on things at the Facebook group.
Many of you would be great at this! Please apply for the job. Once again: NO CODING SKILL REQUIRED.
