Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting, all are welcome apart from those who come with the intent of disruptive misbehavior. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, can you start off? |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Two things today: |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
First, the Advent Calendar gifts continue, and we are having no problems (knock on wood) |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
The boxes will be available till Dec. 31. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
so if you miss a day, you don't have to miss a gift. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
Second, I'm having a rezday party on the 29th of December at 6 pm SLT, and you all are invited, if you have time and want to come. |
| 15:07 |
Ingo (tkb158) |

Satanico Marquis |
Word seems to write an extensive love letter .... |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
First, as chancellor and speaking for Oxbridge, I want to thank the many who made yesterday's fundraiser happen. Andrea for being the head organizer and providing the land and rides, Star for creating the dance venue, Cynthia for providing the music, Stereo for organizing the tree contest, and all those who came and participated. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oxbridge could not exist without such community support and would be largely meaningless without it's community. |
| 15:12 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We, together, raised 28,870 $L |
| 15:12 |
Satanico Marquis |
Yeah - great work !!! |
| 15:13 |
Ingo (tkb158) |
Wooo Hooo!! |

Nice. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
After I pay the next quarter tier on the 3rd, we should have a 40k surplus above my nominal baseline, which should be sufficient to carry us through the expected spring downturn. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Noting that Oxbridges takes about 107k $L per quarter to pay tier and instructor stipends. |
| 15:15 |
Teixeira (boomer.teixeira) |
Thank God |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, many thanks to all. |
| 15:16 |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Ms Stereo Nacht, Ms Cynthia Farshore, Ms Star, |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
without their help, the event would not have been a success |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We look forward to many more fundraisers in the future. |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Next upcoming will ba a new years Ball |
| 15:20 |

| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I will let you know more as it comes along. |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay. Thanks you Andrea, for Much. |
| 15:22 |
Gronk Seriman |
Yes! |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Along with getting the bookkeeping done for the finances, I also managed to get the visitor statistics up for the last two weeks (there's a gap before that) at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php |
| 15:23 |
Phrynne |
We've been busy. |
| 15:23 |

Gronk Seriman smiles |

Ingo (tkb158) nods |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne had put touch collector scripts in the advent boxes, which immediately shut down the collection system, but I have that running since the 13th. I've gone from one email from the system to something like 20-25 emails per day (SL limits the size of emails from scripts). So we'll get a more detailed view of advent gift visitors. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's pretty much it for me apart from attending both events yesterday. |
| 15:27 |
Gronk Seriman |
Nice! |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |

| 15:40 |
Cynthia Farshore |
Yes, In addition to Andrea's Christmas Park I would like to mention about the Christmas displays ice skating and train ride I have on Downs, not seeing many there and since it is in a corner of Caledon many may not know of it yet. |
