Maybe we should post something over on the Welcrie facebook page too? Only like 10 ppl ever post here but more ppl have FB, could get the word out a little more that way. Then set a date and do it.
If there are any positions that need filled I'll do it. As I said before I can't be prez. but I am willing to do what ever and help out any way I can. I think it is important to get this resolved as soon as possible. With the influx of newbs lately it is important to have some kind of structure in place.

Posted. Though it's kinda funny, those who DO check these boards are the ones who have a drive and want to contribute. I'm sure if we brought it up at a practice, anyone who doesn't come to these boards would be like "Huh? What? I don't care, I just wanna hit things."

Sadly you are prolly rite. But we do need leadership in place to keep going. It can be a thankless job but someone has to do it. I give kudos to who ever steps up and takes the job.

Ok here is an update from today's practice. Since only 6 of us showed up we started talking about the coming elections and events and basic business stuff. We are thinking of holding off on the elections until November due to the large number of people who work the haunt at night and can't make it to practices. AND for those who are watching football... We can organize who wants to run, I suggest since we have 3 groups we should have 3 positions just so everyone making decisions can be on the same page and so they all have more support in carrying out those decisions. As to weather or not they should be a rep from each group or not I would assume it will eventually become that down the road. I think we need a president, (who is in charge of college relations, and MUST be a Student at NMC), a Vice President (who helps with organizing events and carrying out decisions in the best interest of the Traverse City Dagorhir group), and a Secretary (in charge of record keeping and running practices). All three can change out for the other positions as needed (IE. if one is sick some one else can go fill in for them).
We also talked about a weapon building event for everyone and are looking at November 12th. This will be held at a remote NMC Property that is rather awesome. It's exact location will be posted when we get the spot but it is on the boardman river and has AMPLE room for weapon building, a kitchen and an area to practice with said weapons. Spenser is looking into getting the property for that day. We also thought that this might be a good time to have the actual election so we can get everyone out there to help teach the newbies. This will not be a potluck!!! (unless you really want to make something). We are actually going to buy food with Group funds!!!!! This should be a fun time and a MUCH NEEDED relaxing event.
I hope that clears some things up.

Also, November 12 is a SATURDAY!!! So for those who are unable to make it, we should have all nominations for positions posted on here by November 5th. And we can count the votes for those who are unable to make it. For lack of anything setup you can message me with your votes cast as a remote ballot during that week. The results will be kept secret until the actual election.

That sounds great. Like Aldvarg was saying him and I have been discussing alot of things lately...But where trying to hold off until after elections. Myself and my wife are willing to help out in anyway possible. Another thing we need to do besides community weapons is get headbands for practice especially with the influx of new players our group is growing nicely and when we do team fighting its hard to tell who is on who's team. Anyways hopefully i will be getting back to practice on a regular basis. Aldvarg helped me replace the radiator in the jeep today is why we missed practice. Again my wife and I are willing to do what ever...just let us know.

Getting everybody together for elections AND weapon building is a great idea Lets make sure we make a big fuss about it at every practice from now until then so non-board peeps know whats goin down and noobs know to come and make weapons!

I'll run for the president position. I'll have another year and will no longer be able to run, so why not finish it with a bang.

Sorry to have been so out of touch lately... Sounds like a bunch of great ideas in this thread. I will offer support as I can;and as Wil mentioned, I will probably be remaining as one of the few Welcrie... (unit? chapter? whatever...). Will try to get back to being active on a more regular basis in he next few weeks.t

Sounds like the location we were looking at may be closed up after October so we are getting some back up plans just in case. But either way we should still be having the party.

Could we do it in West Hall like we've done in the past?

I wasn't here this week because of church (missed 10:00 mass), but yeah, a party would be an awesome thing to do. I don't really have any materials to build any right now (but there is this awesome website that sells bandshoppe poles with affordable shipping and really want to make a spear!) even so I will probably come to the weapons making party anyways. I guess I can work on sewing a new shield cover because my one I have now really, really SUCKS!
As for elections... I am a student at NMC, but as I just joined close to two months ago, I think I'll wait another year for experience sake.

We are currently checking on alternative locations (that will allow us to actually buy pizza for everyone and not involve sedexo). There is a possibility of a meeting room in the museum that will still allow us to bring in other food.
thrudofthorns supposedly you can get some ban-shop pole at Meijer music. Then you don't have to pay the shipping costs.
