| 15:04 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | We will get started. may be a short meeting as Carl hasn't made it in yet. I can go over a few things. I'm afraid I'm not the main answer person. But I can try |
| 15:04 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | yes fine Larky |
| 15:05 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | We brought in 4661 $L at Autumn House. That left us a little short on our balance maintenance goals |
| 15:05 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | We are about 13,000 $L short of where we feel comfortable |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | but |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Tier isn't due until Jan of next year so we have time to make it up this month |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Thank you soup for the donation |
| 15:06 | Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) | Sorry, bu what are you talking about? |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I'll start looking at the build and a date in the next day or so |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | A quick financial update after the fundraiser we had last night |
| 15:07 | Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) | ahhh - ok - got it now |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Many thanks to the contributors and those that came in and helped us party |
| 15:08 | Gronk Seriman | Oxbridge is run entirely by volunteers, and financed by donations and fundraisers. We have rent to pay. |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Nods we pay tier on the land here and we pay a small stipend to the professors that teach |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Just a mention, Soup Jonson has a meeting every Sat at 2 where the discussion is on books being read by people |
| 15:10 | Larky (larkylouz) | And I assume there is a budget for things like Christmas decorations, improvements to the campus, etc? |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Any thing to comment on that Soup? |
| 15:10 | Soup Jonson | I am honored. |
| 15:10 | Soup Jonson | It is an event meant to bring excitement to reading again all are welcome! |

| 15:12 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Ty, I used parts from 2 builds to make it |
| 15:13 | Soup Jonson | I'm Caledonia dressed today and you didn't run away |
| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Larky , on the question of a budget for the seasonal decorations. I really don;t have the answer on that. I believe some money is allocated. For the events hosted by caledonian nights. No university funds are spent on it |
| 15:14 | Soup Jonson | I knew I'd do that |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Welcome MR EB. Any comments on your writing class you would like to share? |
| 15:15 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Still trying. Every Thursday. |
| 15:15 | Soup Jonson applauds mildly for elfbiter | |
| 15:15 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Attendance varies. |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Apologies, this chair does not allow my typing animation to show |
| 15:15 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | some even come the second time. |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Ok. No Carl yet. That is good to hear Mr Skysmith |
| 15:16 | Agatha Macbeth hopes Carl is OK | |
| 15:16 | Cychwynn | ahh |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | SO we will open for questions and see if I might have the answer. Sadly I'm not the information power house Carl is. |
| 15:16 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Silver Moon is more regular. |
| 15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Questions? |
| 15:18 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Hm. Last time we talked about the new surnames, IIRC |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | No questions or comments? |
| 15:18 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Granted, I am not interested about that but others might be. |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | ok. I do not have any information on that. Anyone have anything new? |
| 15:19 | Soup Jonson | I am quite found of my advent gift today. Comment not question. |
| 15:19 | Phrynne | Does anyone know if you can wear older Classic clothes on a Mesh avi by using Baked On Mesh? |
| 15:19 | Larky (larkylouz) | what are some good places to check for Advent Calendar gifts? I heard that Abrianimations (sp?) only has a select few gifts, though, not a daily gift. Anyone here unfamiliar with SL Advent calendars? |

| 15:19 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Yes, Remember the advent started here today in the COU. |

| 15:29 | Gronk Seriman | About the question earlier about Bakes on Mesh. There are at least two widgets in the Marketplace that can make BoM work if you have an Omega Applier compatible avatar. They sorta work. |
| 15:29 | Agatha Macbeth notes 'sorta' | |
| 15:30 | Gronk Seriman | They work fine if you don't use any shinyness effects from your avatar. The shinyness applies to clothe, too, unfortunately. |
| 15:30 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Or bling.... |
