I am pleased to announce that the Shire of Blak Rose will continue into the future. People have stepped forward to hold the officer positions upon the retirement of the Shire's faithful servants Seneschal Freydis, Exchequer & Archery Marshal Ragnal, Web Minister Nabya, and Chatelaine Sean. We owe them a debt of gratitude for how long they have held positions for the Shire.
Going forward, Tirza will serve as Seneschal while continuing to be available for Arts & Science. Acha has agreed to take over the Exchequer responsibilities. Eleazar will continue as Herald, because that is what Eleazar does. This meets the Kingdom requirements for a continuing Shire.
Cian, who has recently moved to our territory, will serve our newcomers as Chatelaine. Maraha is our Chronicler.
Although Ragnal and Nabya have had to resign from official positions due to their new residence deep in Owlsherst, they will continue to support us as on-call Archery Marshal and Regional Web Minister. Freydis and Sean remain as avid Shire supporters.
Now that we are sure we will continue to hold these lands, we invite our friends to join us as we plan for local activities (now that you know you will not be nominated for something).

Happy Yule to the shire! Enjoy time with loved ones this holiday season

Letter of Intent for Chatelain

Greetings!

I, Cian Mac an Bhaird, am writing to express my intent to be included in the January election for the position of Chatelain for The Shire of Black Rose.

I feel this position lines up well with my personality, mundane work experience, and personal goal of meeting as many interesting people in the SCA as possible.

I know the impact the Chatelain had on me leading up to my first event. I felt welcomed, informed, and encouraged every step of the way. I want to be that experience for someone else.

Thank you for your consideration!

Letter of Intent for Seneschal

Unto the venerable Shire of Blak Rose doth Mistress Tirza bithe Reaboughes send greetings.
I am able and willing to serve the Shire as its Seneschal if it will have me. I have participated in the SCA for almost 45. The East Kingdom has seen fit to elevate me to the Order of the Pelican for my general services to the Kingdom and my solicitor services in particular. The Al Mahala educational encampment center for Middle Eastern studies at the Gulf War has been well satisfied with my efforts. I have devoted much time to Blak Rose and Montevale toward building these groups through demos and autocratting events. Now I would endeavor to use my skills to preserve our Shire by filling the required office of Seneschal.

In service,

Tirza bithe Reaboughes, O.P., O.S.C., O. M.
