We are going to be transferring $1000 US to them. I will coordinate this transfer with our Treasurer this week assuming that the Board passes a resolution to disburse the funds.

[11:44 AM]  Khar (kharissa.indigo): On October 22nd and 23rd We had an Event called
“Jamey’s Warroirs”
The purpose of this event was to raise awarness.
Bullying and suicide are more in the news then ever.
Our goal was to get more people involved in their local communities
We started off the Event on Saturday the 22nd with DJ Jared Palianto who was also the  inspiration for this event. Jared’s passion for wanting to help and do something positive is what lead up to the event!!! He gathered information and was a leader in helping organize. My many Thanks Jared! Also want thank  Tadd Rives  for having the event in his club!!!It couldn’t have been such a success  without  the help of Eddi Haskell !!
Eddi di a fantastic job of getting the word out!! Not to mention taking pictures..Thank you so much Eddi!
I would also like to thanks all the other DJ’s and Dancers and Hosts who not only gave up their time but gave all their tips as well!! Bravo!  We raised  53,505 lindens from the event but more importantly we DID raise awarness..
[11:45 AM]  Khar (kharissa.indigo): done with that report any questions?

[11:46 AM]  Khar (kharissa.indigo): thank you ()
[11:46 AM]  Khar (kharissa.indigo): moving on then
Several weeks ago, I got together with some people who wanted to help with Events…
We had a discussion about a Holiday Event.
Eddi Haskell suggested a Tree Decorating contest. So it was Born…
Second Pride Presents: A Festival of Lights.
After having a meeting of the small group we came up with an idea , a way to do it, and how it should be done.

The contest will consist  of a person or persons, group, organization or business that would be able to participate in a friendly competition .
The judging would be easy…we will use a photo contest board and people can pay to vote for their favorite tree.
At the End of the Contest, we are having a party to celebrate all the different entries and of course, the Season.
So we:
Set up an area for the trees.
Decorated the rest of the parcel.
Set up some icing skating areas around a river, a frozen pound and stream.
Along side, we have a pathway and some places to sit, chat and admire the scenery.

The Project is complete and  ready to go.
The advertising and decorating can start anytime (now).
The voting should start around December 14th.
BEGINNING TODAY, YOU CAN:

Pick out a tree.
Pay the vendor box $1L (Linden).
Decorate your tree.
Put your name on the contest board.
Get people to vote for you. (dragging works)

Afterwards, we will have a dance to celebrate!

PARTICIPANTS will be allowed only 200 prims and one scripted item.
There will be no limits on the amount of voting,
but the votes are $10L (Lindens) apiece.

We hope to attract many Tree Decorators to make this Festival of lights a success.

So fellow board members, Spread the word and get as many people involved as possible! We need lots of votes to make this fundraising a success.

[11:55 AM]  Khar (kharissa.indigo): thank you Doc
[11:55 AM]  Doc (doc.spad): The next agenda item is the Build team development and plans for the build. ()
[11:55 AM]  Lemonodo Oh: .-’`'-. APPLAUSE APPLAUSE .-’`'-.
[11:56 AM]  Doc (doc.spad): We have no current Director for the Build Directorship; however, I have been talking to numerous individuals that are interested in working on the team. We have a team of about 6-7 people, Tootsie has volunteered to check over the scripting issues and make sure we do not have a lag mess to deal with
[11:56 AM]  Doc (doc.spad): The interesting thing about the build team is that NO ONE wants to get directly involved with the Board or “politics” of the build. They just want to build. If we do not have a build director, at the moment, I’m not letting that get in the way of moving forward. I will head up a group consisting of other Board members and other interested parties and work as the go between, to keep the builders insulated from the mish-mash. I assume that one of the members of this group will eventually step up and assume the position…..:)…of Build Director
[11:58 AM]  Doc (doc.spad): With that in mind…. At our last meeting there was some discussion as to the theme of the Build. I brought up the idea that we should create five separate sims, each reflecting a different RL Pride celebration, and do what we can to involve RL Pride organizations. Our involvement with Interpride might help along these lines by helping establish lines of communication and interest.
[11:58 AM]  Doc (doc.spad): Once we develop the general theme. I would like to give the sim builders some creative licence to “run with it” and develop build components with the guidelines we generate. BUT…we can’t expect these builders to be micro-managed. They are creative people and need to be able to express their creative juices without our beating them up. Questions??? Comments???
[11:59 AM]  Khar (kharissa.indigo): I’ll help as much as I can
[11:59 AM]  Doc (doc.spad): Thanks Khar
[11:59 AM]  Bock McMillan: Let them loose! ;) ()
[11:59 AM]  Doc (doc.spad): an other comments?
[12:00 PM]  Doc (doc.spad): That’s the idea Bock
[12:00 PM]  Bock McMillan: I like it, chairman Doc ;)
[12:00 PM]  Rocky Constantine (rockridge.constantine) raises hand
[12:01 PM]  Doc (doc.spad): OK then… thanks for coming…thanks for your interest and contributions…I move that this meeting be adjourned
