Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
it has been rewritten. |

| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
Agatha Macbeth and I are finalizing our plans for the Advent Calendar, which will start Dec. 1 and run for 24 days. All the gifts, once available, will remain available till the New Year. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
Besides that, I have been a bit tangled between computer issues and RL difficulties, so no other report today. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Since it's in your ballpark, the Guv has mentioned phasing in Winder starting with light snow, so the wind is shifting. |
| 15:06 |

/me claps |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Full winter comes generally about 1 Dec. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I will keep my eyes out and adjust the plants and trees as necessary |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, Have anything to mention today? |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Been busy setting up winter in the village. This will include a build for a COU fundraiser toward the middle end of the month. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
The ice rink and carousel are great! |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The last of any needed lindens for the upcoming tier and stipends will be raised there |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'm working on having the sim of greystokes water iced over this year |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
with a open-ended pond along the border |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nice. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
that would be great for skating! |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
my thoughts 2 Phrynne |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'm not icing over the dockhouse are this year |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
unless all of the SSC water is frozen |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
so I'll move the skating |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
other than the winter build, not much else going on |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And that's more of a secluded bay. |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I am interested to hear from anyone who would like to help with that |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the fundraiser |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So building / decorating volunteers? |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
If I keep my south end land, might have some stuff over there |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
yes, possibly Wordsmith |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I have a idea for the build are. just have to see about it |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
It's possible some of it may be in the park |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll need to holler at Desmond on that |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
freebies or give away items would be nice |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
though this fundraiser, i may ask the giver to send their stuff boxed |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We will see. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, although the advent calendar will be pulling a lot in. |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'm waiting on the pins |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
we might start without them |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy was on a couple of nights ago and has been working on them. |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
mostly I've been offline a bit this week. |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
looks back at Wordsmith |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea and I did discuss the financials and breaking even for this this quarter, which looks quite doable. Not there yet, but coming close. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Star and I have a working hot air balloon for Agatha, although I may take another sweep on a couple minor things, depending on when Agatha has it scheduled. |
| 15:19 |
Gronk Seriman |
How much of a spike do Fundraisers add to the inflow? |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The last three weeks transcripts are now up for your enjoyment. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As I recall, the last one, apart from the auction was about 18k $L. The one in July was substantially less, but had some RFL competition. |
| 15:21 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
RFL is what? |
| 15:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
So they are worth the effort, then! Good! |

I have a question, how do I make money? |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Most of the economy is artisan, people making clothing and other items that others will buy. There are some jobs in modeling and DJ'ing. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Another crash. Things like fishing that I can't really comment on. Most people just buy Lindens with a credit card and there are a lot of free or inexpensive things out there. |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
she left... |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
or crashed |
| 15:26 |
Phrynne |
We seem to have lost half our audience |
| 15:26 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
i see that |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Teddy, did you have something you wanted to discuss? |
| 15:27 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) |
Yes |
| 15:27 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) |
I would like to announce a couple of classic Holiday Theme Photo Salon Classes that I would like to be placed on the Oxbridge Calendar |
| 15:27 |
- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) |
Dec. 20th – Making Holiday or Christmas Cards |

Dec 27th - Moving Objects – Ice Skaters |

- ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) |
I think I should take the class to Andrea's ice skating rink for that class |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay. Send me a notecard with the words you'd like up for each. I'm happy to do that. |
| 15:28 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:30 |
Gronk Seriman |
/me looks around. ?!? |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Gronk, anything you'd like to bring up? |
| 15:30 |
Phrynne |
I don't know what's going on, but I had to change computers and try several times to get in here. |
| 15:31 |
Gronk Seriman |
I learned McAffee and SL don't play well together today. |
| 15:32 |
Gronk Seriman |
Having booted McAffee, I was able to fully install Firefox again. |
| 15:32 |
Gronk Seriman |
That's my Nugget of Knowledge for today. |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
I am going to say that we're adjourned. |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
before I get kicked off by the system. |
| 15:34 |
Gronk Seriman |
Gah! |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
Thank you all for coming. |
