Greetings, Hartwood!<br><br>I am looking for help in a few areas and hope that some volunteers will step forward to fill the need.<br><br><br>1. We are still looking for Regional Coordinators in South Hartwood (Nanaimo area) and West Hartwood (Port Alberni area).<br>
(This job is a mix of administrative and hands-on: you determine how much hands-on you want to do.)<br><br>This work needs to be arranged by the Regional Coordinator, but can be actually done by themselves or another designated person:<br>
- to coordinate regular A&S meetings: these can be at your
home or travel about the region, whatever works for your area. You, together, decide what you want to work on and do: watch a movie, do a group activity, solo projects in a social atmosphere, learn something new together... lots of possibilities!<br>
- to record A&S meetings and attendance, and file a report
to the A&S Minister on A&S activities quarterly: by the
1st of January, April, July, October.<br>- to take to A&S meetings/people: Shire of Hartwood group projects, encourage
participation and be the "go-to" person for information in that area.<br>
- to ensure that A&S people get information on
up-coming A&S events, displays, competitions, etc., especially as
put up on the <a href="mailto:hartwood@tirrigh.org">hartwood@tirrigh.org</a> (Facebook optional) or as is sent to you directly from the A&S Minister.<br>
- someone to let the A&S Minister know what the A&S needs and wants of your area are, so that where possible they may be addressed.<br>- regular access to computer email and telephone essential to this position (sometimes multiple times per day, sometimes twice a week). <br>
<br>Remember
that this is your area. For the most part, what will happen at your
A&S nights will be determined by the people attending, what you
arrange for each other, and what you choose to do together and
separately.<br>
<br>If extra workshops are desired, please let the A&S Minister know and we'll see what
can be arranged for instructors to come in / students to come out. :)
A 'kitty' may be put out to help pay for fuel or participant may split
the costs of workshops fees. In some cases, we can take a potential
weekend workshop bid to council for funds for a hall and treat it like
an event - if approved. <br>
<br>Anyone interested, please send SCA and mundane names, contact information, and a brief A&S resume / application to <a href="mailto:artsci@hartwood.tirrigh.org" target="_blank">artsci@hartwood.tirrigh.org</a> or <a href="mailto:canzonet3@gmail.com" target="_blank">canzonet3@gmail.com</a><br>
<br><br><br>2. I am in the last 8 months of my term as A&S Minister for Hartwood. It would be nice to find a deputy interested in taking up this position when I step down, so that there is training time available. :)<br>
(This job is mostly administrative, with a little bit of hands-on.)<br>
<br>Currently, the A&S Minister is responsible for:<br>- collecting reports from Hartwood's Regional Coordinator's by the 1st of January, April, July, October.<br>- reporting on all A&S activities within the branch quarterly to Seneschal(e), and Principality A&S on the 15th of January, April, July, October. These reports are to include follow-up on last quarter's activities, reports on monthly meetings and attendance in all our areas for this quarter, anticipated projects for the future quarter, reports on competition entries / group projects on-going & completed / workshops / dance / games / any combined efforts with other Officers / progress report on how the amalgamation is going: celebrations, difficulties, plans for dealing with challenges.<br>
- completing a domesday report from the quarterly reports, and having it into the the Seneschal(e) and Principality A&S by December 1st.<br>- determining the yearly budget needs and presenting them to Council and the Financial Committee when appropriate.<br>
- deciding upon 1 or 2 yearly group projects and coordinating them.<br>- collecting information on A&S activities from Principality A&S, <a href="mailto:northern@antir.sca.org">northern@antir.sca.org</a>, Hartwood Council meetings, Financial Committee meetings, and spreading the information directly to Regional Coordinators and to populace via <a href="mailto:hartwood@tirrigh.org">hartwood@tirrigh.org</a> (Facebook is optional).<br>
- coordinating with Event Stewards / demo coordinators / other Officers, etc. to ensure that A&S needs are met.<br>- supporting the Regional Coordinators wherever possible. Being a voice for their needs and desires on Council.<br>
- ensuring that various levels and styles of competitions and artisan's displays are held throughout the year, to encourage our populace to further their skills.<br>- encouraging TUTR classes and weekend sessions wherever possible.<br>
(Note: there will be additional duties added when we have a Hartwood A&S Championship competition.)<br>- regular access to computer email and telephone essential to this position (sometimes multiple times per day, sometimes twice a week.)<br>
<br>Anyone interested, please send SCA and mundane names, contact information, and a brief A&S resume / application to <a href="mailto:artsci@hartwood.tirrigh.org" target="_blank">artsci@hartwood.tirrigh.org</a> or <a href="mailto:canzonet3@gmail.com" target="_blank">canzonet3@gmail.com</a> AND to <a href="mailto:seneschal@hartwood.tirrigh.org">seneschal@hartwood.tirrigh.org </a><br>
<br><br><br>South and West Hartwood could really benefit from someone stepping up and coordinating a regular meeting!<br><br>If I can find a deputy soon, there's 2 reporting periods and a domesday left to do that this person could see/help with the process before potentially having to do these reports solo. :)<br>
<br>Thank you very much for considering these positions. <br><br>- Cecille de Beumund,<br>Minister of Arts and Sciences, Hartwood<br><br>
