July Arts and Science project days updates

Hail Citadel: This months Arts and Science project days have some updates.

July 5 would be our Friday meetup but it’s also the week of Battlemoor so we are pushing that one to the 12th, and then the church is not available the 27th so we are going to move our Saturday project day to the 20th.

The 12th THL Edmond is doing a class on how to construct knotwork for illumination. And on the 20th Lady Asdis will have materials for the stamp class, both are super fun and interesting activities.

Hail Citadel, the Officer and Business Meeting that was planned for today will need to be pushed back. I will be driving across Texas, THL Emrys has work complications, and HE Joella will be picking up HE Constance. So as soon as we have a updated date and time we will have a meeting this month. We apologize for the late notice.

June Populace and Baronial Day

Hail Citadel, this Sunday is Populace at Memorial Park. 9am is the goal for start time, please bring snacks/drinks/tables/chairs so we can celebrate in fellowship.

This is also the last Populace for the Family Grim, sadly they will be leaving the Barony. Let us give them a great send off!

A request for marshals

HAIL CITADEL!

Citadel needs more Marshals! I am seeking feedback and interest from the Barony on folks who would be willing and able to obtain Marshal authorization. Given enough participants, I’m looking at doing this through classroom/in-person training. One does not need to be a fighter in order to assist in marshaling, but our fighters do need marshals to continue doing what they do safely. If you find you are interested in becoming a Marshal or if you have questions, please reach out via knightmarshal@southernpass.org.

Yours In Service,

Lord Þórbjorn Trǫllsbani Dansson, D.O.T.

Knight Marshal, Barony of the Citadel of the Southern Pass

Week of March 4th updates

This Saturday 12pm, at All Saints Episcopal Church (3500 McRae Blvd, El Paso, TX 79925), we will be working on a special sewing project. Hush Hush thing.

Bring your sewing machines, hand sewing kits, cotton batting/filling, and we will work on snacks/food.

Lady Rusa, Baronial List minister, will not be able to attend the Baronial Populace days for March and April and asks for volunteers to organize the day event and tournament. Please contact her at mistressofthelist@southernpass.org

Noswaith dda, Citadel!

We are being asked to give a preliminary estimate of how many people will be at Big Red Comic Con on March 23. Remember, this conflicts with Kingdom A&S.

If you could assist me with this by letting me know via email (seneschal@southernpass.org) if you plan on being there, this would be much appreciated.

Noswaith dda, Citadel!


At our last populace, we spoke about memberships. I wanted to make everyone aware of a resource that’s out there for people who may need some assistance with a membership:


https://www.sca.org/membership-assistance-fund/


At the last meeting of the Kingdom Seneschalate, we were told this fund is healthy and not being fully utilized. So if financial considerations are what’s been holding you back from getting or renewing a membership, I encourage you to apply. During our meeting we were told it was an incredibly quick and painless process, and they’ll assist with family memberships too!
