Meeting Minutes - 1/3/1999

Howdy all,

Lady Wanton announced Metadi her apprentice this week.

Lady Deavon announced on behalf of Sir Hyoko that subcommittees were disbanded for now with a new structure in the works which caused quite an uproar. There is quite some debate about the duties and responsibilities of the leader and council.

As such it is suggested that those who have questions regarding the duties of the Leader and Council bring those questions to the meeting next week so the matter can be settled when Hyoko is in attendance.

A message has been sent to Talenni and company asking for information regarding Janatalar.

Since there was confusion, here is the text of what was voted on regarding the Leader and Council:
