Chatelaine’s Report

  • We’ve had two new contacts – one here tonight (welcome, Annais!)
  • Caitrina talked with Margaret Ladd about how to do demos at cons. Apparently we used to have tables at NC ComicCon.

Exchequer’s Report

  • Balance is: $4,647
  • No expenditures since last month’s meeting.
  • Submitted paperwork on August 27th to the local Wells Fargo branch to add kingdom exchequer and her emergency deputy to the account. It will take 3-5 business days. Our bank contact, Mr. Rogers, says that we can do paperwork the same way to add Una to the account – she doesn’t need to come in.
