Meeting minutes
for Tilamaires, day 17 of the month Lormesta in the
year 5112.Members in
attendance: Erelad, Ohnus, Anta, Kizalia,
Ranpalandil.
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Alright
we've got a lot to cover so I'm jumping right in."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "I'll start
with the treasury report, we purchased a slew of
prizes and Rasti withdrew notes for this past
weekend’s events. Our account balance is 341965995
silvers."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "I would
like to personally thank Kizalia and Nattor for the
successful weekend of events, and for Jeafwsian for
being the sole non officer member to attend and
support the hall."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "The games
were a bunch of fun and we met lots of great
people."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Our prizes
were a big success as well."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Plus it
helped generate some buzz for our archery contest
next month."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "A
reminder, we have bounty help this weekend and the
archery contest on the 13th of next month."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "As Kizalia
pointed out to me recently we are already half way
through the month, which means we should be working
on a new round of prize closet items. We had a few
designs left over from the last batch but we will be
needing some great new ideas."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "As always
if you come up with a design and it is created you
get one free out of the prize closet."
Kizalia: [Willow Hall] "Being
that our event with the Dreadnaughts this past
weekend was such a great success, Sabreon has
invited us to participate in another festival that
they are having next month on the 19th."
Kizalia: [Willow Hall] "We're
going to host a gambling wheel game, for prizes,
silvers or spike thorning."
Ranpalandil: [Willow Hall]
"Ouch, not sure that sounds like a lot of fun."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "It's all
about luck!"
Kizalia: [Willow Hall] "Once he
gives us more details on the festival, I'll get them
put on bulletin board in the library and sent around
in the minutes."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Speaking
of Sabreon."
Kizalia: [Willow Hall] "For all
those crazy people that like Bloody Roshambo and
Terisian craps."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Kizalia
and I had an audience with Sabreon after the close
of the weekend's festivities."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Basically,
he has formally invited Willow Hall to join the
Dreadnaught Alliance."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "We had a
lengthy discussion as to what that actually means."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "And what
it comes down to, Kizalia correct me if I
interpreted incorrectly, is that we would remain as
we are, an independent hall governed by our own but
we would be entering into a "formal friendship" if
you will. One that would enable us to participate in
any joint events the alliance runs and they in turn
would offer aid if we ever need to defend the
Landing."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Basically
Sabreon feels Willow Hall would be a great contact
point for helping the alliance collaborate with
other groups west of the Dragonspine."
Ranpalandil: [Willow Hall]
"Just the Landing?"
Kizalia: [Willow Hall]
"Anywhere that Willow Hall required aid."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Or
wherever else I suppose."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Now
Kizalia and I questioned him pretty thoroughly but
we still felt that the membership needs to have a
chance to speak with him about the idea."
Ranpalandil: [Willow Hall] "I
see no reason to oppose such a move."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Of course
we would never enter into a group lightly, so we
have invited Sabreon to come speak with everyone at
next week's meeting in Sylvarraend."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "If there
is enough membership support following that we will
set up a vote."
Ranpalandil: [Willow Hall]
"Sounds good by me."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "I'm sorry
I'm a week ahead."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "The
Sylvarraend meeting on the 31st."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "We need a
co-treasurer."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Rasti has
been very busy lately, and though he is definitely
still reachable and able to help us, he needs some
back up."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "So I'm
going to put the word out there if anyone is
interested or would like to nominate anyone."
Anta says, "I say Erelad."
Kizalia says, "Seconded."
Ohnus says, "And third if he
cares."
Erelad quietly says, "Oh no."
Anta says, "Alright, but I
still think you'd be good for the job."
Anta says, "Ohnus, Kizalia, we
need to amp up our recruitment."
Kizalia says, "I say we get a
membership drive on the slate for next month."
Anta says, "We need to talk to
folks, get them interested. When we're helping folks
out we need to remind them who we are."
Anta asks, "Next month or
Charlatos?"
Kizalia says, "The month after,
so we can get some event support."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "What do
you guys think could help Willow Hall grow?"
Anta: [Willow Hall] "We're out
there every month hosting games, bounty helps."
Kizalia says, "I think we need
some more membership perks besides larger lockers."
Kizalia says, "Well, Nattor
mentioned before the summoning chamber."
Kizalia says, "Not to rob
Twilight of their idea.."
Anta asks, "So we have a space
for our ranged members and for our wizards.. what do
we have that appeals to warriors or rogues?"
Kizalia says, "But they hired a
traveling merchant who worked only for their members
one night."
Anta says, "That is a thought."
Anta says, "Very pricey."
Kizalia says, "It could be at
our annual solstice party or something."
Anta says, "It would cost us
all of the influence we gained for our Harvest
Festival for one hour of work."
Ohnus asks, "Coins pricey?"
Kizalia says, "Influence."
Kizalia says, "Well, it's also
incentive to gain more influence points."
Anta says, "If we use our
influence on anything, it should be our members."
Kizalia says, "We do a lot of
things in the community for people to come and enjoy
and hand out prizes, but we need to get our own
people interested."
Ranpalandil: [Willow Hall]
"That sounds like a good idea."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "Alright I
think we've got the wheel turning."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "We'll talk
more about this next week too."
Anta: [Willow Hall] "In the
meantime start thinking up some great prize closet
ideas!"
Anta: [Willow Hall] "So to
recap, bounty help this weekend, Sylvarraend meeting
the 31st with Sabreon special speaker, Archery
contest and raffle next month on the 13th and
membership drive and Alliance joint event gambling
game in Charlatos."
Anta then adjourned the
meeting.
