Updates indeed

[seskis281]

Hi all,

As Eric has mentioned in other threads in the last several days, I did find myself overwhelmed with stuff in life that kept pushing my involvement further and further behind on the Society....

Suffice it to say, yours truly keeps finding more and more on his professional plate at the University I work for... I have been asked to take on a good number of campus administrative duties in addition to my full-time faculty teaching and theatre directing load (sadly that comes with no extra pay, just "professional development" cred and helping the mounting needs of a small campus).

I have caught up FINALLY on registrations for the Society (sorry especially to AJCarrington that it took so long!).

The Domesday V has all stuff in, but just has been languishing as I needed to put it into layout. Every time I thought I'd have time I found myself behind on other stuff, and the addition of our beautiful new daughter meant weekends when I wasn't working needed family time instead.

So, here's what we are doing:

1. I have asked Eric to take over and finish up the layout on the last "big" issue of Domesday (# V) and will be emailing and forwarding all the articles, art and material to him. He will do it as he can, though please know these are the Holidays and he has a lot on his plate too. It will be done when it is done.

2. Once it is complete, we will switch next year sometime to a Newsletter Format, as previously discussed, of the Domesday Book (perhaps "The Domesday Letter"). HERE I NEED HELP - I need to solicit someone to take over the editorship of the newsletter and be responsible for it's production - we may do it monthly if someone can commit to that much, or we could do it quarterly. We all have full plates I know, but if we want to continue to grow the Soceity and to have this sort of thing continue, we need some active commitment from members.

3. I have asked Eric and he has accepted to take the lead in the TLG ambassador/CK program. That is still ongoing in development, so it may be a bit into the new year before it can be really established. If you are wanting to represent C&C at a con before we get it going, email me and we will see what we can do for some support.

4. My main responsibilities need to be really focused on the "big picture", maintaining our rolls & member database, coordinating the different endeavors, etc. The Society "Squire's Page" will continue to look to host and promote material produced by it's members. If you have something in pdf, relatively nice, that you would like us to host, please submit it to me. The one thing we can't do with that is act as a layout, editor or "publisher" in putting them together, so we will host this material as it is provided by you as members.

Ok, so that's where we're at and I just want to give my apologies to all the members for letting myself get behind again... it is a Troll Lord world after all.....

So to all members, let this be a CALL TO ARMS to pitch in and contribute to the Society even more in the new year!

Alea Iacta Est!

John, I've been making monthly church newsletters for a very long time. As long as folks do not see it as a conflict of interest, I would be glad to put together an email / pdf newsletter for the society.

Thanks for all your efforts John, they are appreciated. And my offer to help with the newsletter (or whatever really) still stands. Thanks again.
