[Ponte Alto] Weekly Rundown- 3/28

[Mariana Ruiz de Medina]

Happy Monday Ponte Alto!

I hope everyone who attended Defending the Gate is well recovered from the
weather!

Coronation is coming up this weekend and there's sure to be some excellent
A&S happening there. Don't forget that if you are participating in the
Persona Challenge you are required to display, either in person or
virtually, but your project does not need to be completed! Works in
progress are totally fair game!

Bloodbath fast approaches, with our open display being the primary A&S, but
also a scroll blanks competition that day. The prize for the scroll blanks
will be a stamp kit for our upcoming block printing block. We will also
have a photo area nearby with props. We encourage bards and dancers to join
us for the day, and if there is enough interest, I will happily make that a
bit more formalized and on the schedule for the day.

At business meeting last night there was talk of bringing back the baronial
picnics and when that happens (end of April so keep an eye out!) we will
absolutely have A&S there. I will try to arrange some sort of class, but I
would also like to invite anyone who wants to attend and maybe have a dance
practice or share some food A&S or anything else to join us.

*Updates for the Week*

   -

   We are still in need of largess! Contact Her Excellency to learn more.

   I am still looking for anyone who may want to take up the mantle of MoAS
   or Social Media Officer once my tenure for these is up at the end of
   October! If you'd like to join me for A&S at Bloodbath, or just chat about
   what those entail, please feel free to reach out.
