From the Board of Directors:

After careful review and consideration of all feedback, the Board of Directors has decided to update the mission statement to be more inline with current society practices:

The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international non-profit volunteer educational organization.
The SCA is devoted to the research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat, culture, and employing knowledge of history to enrich the lives of participants through events, demonstrations, and other educational presentations and activities.

The Board of Directors wishes to thank everyone who took the time to write in with their comments for the betterment of our society.
Should you have any comments, please send them with the subject line “Revised Mission Statement Aug 2018”.

Hello,
I would like to know how many people are available for the demo on August 30 at the Children’s museum, to show heavy combat.
If you are planning to go, please send me a message at ksprague1959@gmail.com
Thank you
Robert

Alas, the overnight rain has left us to much water and wetness to throw safely. So I’m cancelling practice this week. I will let you all know about next week after conferring with the other Marshals.

Hello,
Weather permitting, there will be fight practice at the Washington Blvd site on August 26 from 2 til 6 PM. Loaner armor will be available.
Count Andreas is planning to attend, so if you would like to cross swords with him here is your chance.
I believe the trailers are still in the parking lot, but there should be plenty of parking for us.
I hope to see you there.
Robert

I received the following missive from Master Alaric MacConnell today and wanted to share this with the entire Barony:

I wanted to share some cool recognition from the July 2018 Board Meeting President’s Report.

Here are the relevant excerpts:

Commendations

I would like to commend Alaric MacConnal, Raven Whiteheart, and the rest of the staff of this year’s Known World Heraldic Symposium, held in Pittsburgh, PA, June 8-10. It was a great time and well attended. You guys set a high bar for others to match.

Publishable Summary

The 2018 Known World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium was held in Pittsburgh, PA, in the Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands. Alaric Mac Connal and Raven Whiteheart did great work as event stewards; the entire Barony was welcoming. We’ll be talking about the reception at the castle and the performances for a long time.

Thank you to everyone that made Known World Heralds and Scribes such a success. We should be proud of how we represented the Barony to the Known World during this event.
