It has been a lovely and eventful Summer so far! Simple Day went very well, Pennsic is fast approaching and several of our own have been placed on vigil for peerages - wow!
As you enjoy continuing festivities, please do keep safety in mind:
Sunblock - use it, and re-apply it often!
Water - drink it! Often. Tea, coffee, sodas and ESPECIALLY alcohol do not count as hydrating you. :)
Shoes - comfort over style and over period-appropriateness. Wear comfy shoes with good arch and ankle support - your feet will thank you!
In more official news - I stepped up as Seneschal in February this year, and had planned to serve out a standard two-year term. However, due to several concerns in my personal life, I am unable to give the office the attention and dedication it deserves. Thus, with great regret, I must step down. In order to ensure a smooth and trouble-free transition, this is the plan:
Anyone interested in taking on the office of Seneschal must contact Their Excellencies and me *via email* no later than Thursday, September 14 (i.e. no later than the week before the September Business Meeting)
Please include a brief note explaining why you are interested in taking on the office, experience you've had (inside the Society or outside) that you feel applies, and anything else you'd like the populace to know. This information will be made available in the Star and on this blog, so that folks can be well-informed before we begin polling.
First poll will be at the September Business Meeting; second poll at the October Business Meeting.
My intent is to transition the office no later than the end of this year, but that is flexible; exact plans will be determined once a successor has been selected
If you are interested in the office but aren't sure what it entails, or have any other questions, please chat me up any time.
I'd like to assure everyone that this decision has nothing to do with the group; Sternfeld is a great place, and I've truly enjoyed working with you all.
Yours in service and having fun - Wulfwen

Greetings unto Sternfeld!
Another month is almost through and with it will come Pennsic, and with that a number of people are working on projects in preparation for the War. I commend you all in your endeavors.
At the beginning of this month Sternfeld hosted A Simple Day in the Country: A Faire to Remember. An Arts and Sciences competition was held: Who's the Fairest of Them All. Overall winner was HE Gavin of West Burgh. The winner of the Baronial championship was THL Sarah of Sternfeld. A hearty Hoobah! to them.
I wish to thank, also, and recognize that there were a number of classes taught at Simple Day. From these come answers and more questions for those who wish to learn, and those who have learned what they wanted from these. Thank you, and a hearty Hoobah! to all those who have taught.
So ends the A&S report for this month. Thank you all who make this a better Barony.
