Summer Youth Challenge
A Challenge for Youth – take a picture of you doing an experiment or favourite activity (incl. name, age and why you chose that activity). The experiment could be cooking, baking, or even mixing your own paints – try something new! This challenge is open to all youth, of Rising Waters and her friends. The deadline is September 5, 2020. You can email entries to me at risingwaters@gmail.com
Taxes
I’d like to thank all who paid last year’s Baronial tax, to perform a service for another. This year’s tax is a challenge to extol the merits of their fellow Rising Waters nobles (or the community itself) in a boast – either recorded, live in a virtual context, or written in an email to Her Excellency.
Court Herald
Lord Ieuan ap Gwylym (Stuart Crump) is Her Excellency’s appointed court herald. He is very open to help from any heralds at large in the Barony.
