The Potluck and Discussion meeting of the Madrone Culinary Guild is Wednesday, October 1^st.  The gathering time is 7:00 PM, we try to start eating at 7:10, and the evening generally winds up a little after 9:00 PM.

Some subjects for discussion:

• Baronial Banquet 2009

• Possible Yule Feast

• Pamphlet Update

If you have any other items that need to go on the agenda, please let me know or bring your ideas with you.  If you can't attend the potluck and discussion meeting but want to comment or have questions on any of the discussion areas above, please e-mail comments or questions to the Guild list.

Please remember to bring your plate, bowl, cutlery and cup and preferred beverage on Wednesday.  People attending their first Guild potluck evening do not need to bring a dish contribution.

Medieval, Renaissance or ethnic food is suitable, but any contribution dish is welcome.  Pull out your copy of Pleyn Delit or a Guild Feudal Gourmet pamphlet and explore!

Best regards,

Etiennette

Greetings from your Baronial Scribe:

Tuesday, October 7^th at 7:00 PM, I will be at Sean & Nicolette's house in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood with paints, brushes, and charters to paint.  Painters and scribes of all skill levels are welcome — really!  This is a great way to learn about calligraphy and illumination, while helping your Barony. 

The only thing you need to bring is yourself — I will provide charter blanks, paints and brushes.  Scribes who would like to bring their own materials or work on original projects are also encouraged, and very welcome.

 

Greetings Madrone:
