If you are interested in being a Challenge Patron, please contact the Provost, Lorelei Skye.
In general Patrons are the host/ess of a Challenge. They are the ones who call up the folks who signed for the challenge, and provide a small token for those who perform. Here is a bit more info on being a challenge patron:
Brief information for those who have never been a challenge Patron before- contact Provost(s) with questions:
- Select a challenge to Patron, contact the Provost.
- If anything happens and it turns out you will not be attending; please do contact the Provost(s) to let them know, and which Challenge you were listed as the Patron.
- Day of event: You will receive the sign up list for your challenge as the Fyt starts
- At the start of your challenge, announce the name of the challenge and description (will be on the signup sheet.)
- During challenge, call participants to perform in order of the sign up list, Do your best with the pronunciation and/or reading the handwriting. ;)
- As all those who participate finish, provide each a token.** (Most challenges will have between 10-15 performance slots; and small groups of people could perform together.)
- IF your challenge isn't full and finishes "early"/quickly; consult the Provost if there is time to call out and add others.
**A token can be just about anything. Some ideas: Beads or rings; various small arts and crafts items; homemade or bought cookies/baked goods (*encouraged to have ingredient list handy); small blank books; bookmarks; something related to the selected challenge - example: once a patron for 'Stir Fry' gave mini-magnet poetry samples.
