Announcements

The Kingdom of Calontir is seeking letters of intent to serve as the next Kingdom Chatelaine. This is a vital role for the growth of the kingdom as it is the person that organizes our recruitment and retention strategies and works with all other officers to promote Calontir and the SCA.

Those interested in filling this role should have strong communication skills, a willingness to work with others, a base knowledge of the SCA and the Kingdom of Calontir, and a passion for introducing newcomers to our shared dream. Experience with google suite is helpful, but not necessary. As long as you are willing to learn along the way, no formal training is necessary.

The job of the kingdom chatelaine includes, but is not limited to:

-Working with Society, Kingdom, and Local Group Officers to develop standards for recruiting and retention of newcomers within the kingdom.

-Teaching local group officers, and other interested parties, best practices for running successful demos

-Helping newcomers to find their local groups within the kingdom and getting them into contact with the officers of that local group.

 -Maintaining a roster of local group chatelaines and ensuring they are active. This can be done through interaction with each officer as well as through their quarterly reports.

-Ensuring community outreach with our participants and the local communities they are a part of. 

-The training of new chatelaines and giving them assistance to ensure their success.

All interested parties please send a letter of intent to both myself ([email protected] ) , Their Royal Majesties of Calontir, and Their Royal Highnesses of Calontir. Please include any relevant experience you have, why you want to take on this role, and what your plans for the role would be should you be chosen for it.

The deadline for letters of intent is May 31, 2025. Interviews will be held at an agreed upon time between the interested parties, the Society Chatelain, and the Calontir Crown.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me at [email protected]

Greetings Calontir!

Welcome to another round of Lilies War announcements. This week we have Bardic and Arts & Sciences, Tours, and calls for Volunteers

Bardic Tent location, and Arts & Sciences classes

We are pleased to let you know that the Bardic Tent will be moved from its traditional location down to the point! We will be putting it up near the “Falcon’s Revel” to ensure the best chance for a breeze that will carry your words and cool your temperatures while learning about and participating in the bardic arts.

Please bring your drums, your songs, and your stories. We love our bards, and nothing makes a heart happier than the music of its people!

Speaking of arts, we would like to remind you to please get your activity forms to teach in the Arts and Sciences area turned in as soon as possible. The schedule is being worked on now, and for your class to appear in the printed site book, the deadline is May 10, 2025. If you are the head of a guild, please get your class lists turned in using the same system. We want to offer a full schedule, and we cannot do so without you.

Tours for mundane non-attendees, and Artisan’s Roadshow

Tours will be held for mundane non attendees on Sunday, June 8, 2025, from 10:00AM CDT until 2:00 PM CDT. We will be hosting an Artisans Road Show area during these times so our visitors can see what cool things we do. If you’d be willing to assist with this project or help by working on and showing your cool stuff, please contact our Arts and Sciences coordinator, Lady Gabrielle des Chat Noirs.

Calling for Volunteers

Finally, we are calling for all to please volunteer for the war. We need golf cart drivers, gate workers, marshals, heralds, port o’ john re-stockers, shower house clean-up crew, and so much more! Thank you to everyone that has already volunteered, and to those that will soon. Active schedules are currently being posted to the website so that you can plan your volunteer hours around the activities you wish to attend.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your event staff, there is a full listing on the website.

Thank you Calontir for helping us to make this Lilies one for the history books!
