15:04 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Caledon Oxbridge Village (155,55,22)
15:04 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) So financially it looks athough we are holding our own
15:04 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) but ff is right around the corner
15:04 Ember (emberell) Yes, hopefully we hold steady through FF.
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I plan to have meeting with ember and wordsmith this week to discuss some changes to our fundraising events
15:05 Ember (emberell) nods
15:05 Ember (emberell) Just let me know when
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I will.
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) At that meeting we will be discussing the opening of cou appoved events inside andoutside the cou itself
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) we already have coins up at several locations inside caledon and they help us by taking n donations at their events
15:07 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) picks up the steel spring from behind the hall corner
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) So the idea is that you, the resident users of the COU will be aiding us in our efforts to keep the cou funded for the long haul. and pick up some reconition in the process
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) but more on that after our mneeting
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Back to you Ember
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Oh
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I should also say that many of you donate to keep the Cou runing and your efforts are appreciated
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) it's the small payments and the big ones that help to keep us up and running. It truly is a community effort
15:09 Ember (emberell) nods. "Every bit is appreciated and goes to help a lot."
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ok back to you Ember
15:09 Ember (emberell) On my own end, following some lovely suggestions from last time's Q&A session, I've added a panel to the board by the lass schedule listing Caledonian events- hands out the same notecard I p[ass out here, listing a list of all the events run here in Caledon, as well as a few links to the calendars that list other events that residents haven't asked me to include.
15:09 Ember (emberell) by the class schedlue*
15:10 Ember (emberell) With that though, we're open for questions, comments, concenrs... anything really!
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) chirp chirp
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) chirp chirp
15:11 Spike Bloodrose what was the 'FF' that was mentioned earlier, by the way?
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) looks at the cricket in the corner
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Ember? do you want to take that one?
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) or I can
15:11 lovejoy2199 Fantasy Faire
15:11 Ember (emberell) Oh, certainly - FF is also known as Fantasy faire- yes
15:12 Ember (emberell) It's an anual Relay For Life event meant to benefit cancer research
15:12 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Fantastic Four
15:12 Ember (emberell) No, Elfbiter.
15:12 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Force Field
15:12 Spike Bloodrose oh, okay! i thought it might've been, or equally that there could have been an in-caledon term i didn't know. X)
15:12 Ember (emberell) That's not helpful.
15:12 Tora the Explorer (toraonna.thane) shall i puncture elf for you?? X-D
15:12 Tora the Explorer (toraonna.thane) *poke poke poke*
15:13 Ember (emberell) But it's an annual fantastical showing from designers, all for a good cause. It cuts into donations though, since many can't afford to do both - and we do our best t plan aaround it
15:13 Spike Bloodrose at least one can always support via visits and increasing traffic. ^^
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and rightly so, It is a good cause and the people that put it on work hard.
15:13 Tora the Explorer (toraonna.thane) it's THE BEST event for finding quirky fun stuff!
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and it is large so it takes time to explore
15:14 Tora the Explorer (toraonna.thane) haha days and days!
15:14 lovejoy2199 Is it 2 weeks? I never know.
15:15 Spike Bloodrose April 18th to may 5th so says their website.
