*L25,000 annual surplus from Magic transferred to Byk at the end of the year.
**In preparing for the pledge drive, I purged the membership rolls of all avatars who have not signed on to SL in over a year and also those who have left the SL group. New members are Therru Vacirca and Mary Nuyasaka,
****To date, we have L$215,700 pledged and L$27,150 received in our annual pledge drive. The goal is L$300,000. We have received 11 pledges and I have 11 other names who are likely pledgers.
UUtopia Report – Zyzzy
- Gumball decided to leave, but then changed his mind. I’m unsure why on either case.
- Brief discussion of various open sims; pros and cons.
Outreach – Et
- Is anyone planning to attend General Assembly (6/20-24 in Kansas City)? My personal plans are a little fluid but I am planning on reserving a room because there is a 70% chance I will go.
- New this year at GA are Poster Sessions. If someone is going, should we consider putting up a poster session? If I go I will, but I don’t want to be a failure point if I don’t. Rev Jeremy is not going or planning anything related to his VR work.
- “Ready Player One†discussion.
Library Report – Bel
- Dearborn Carling is back, so we should ask him about the World Religions Day and see about scheduling it again.
Worship Report
- Thank you to Sofia, Zoe, and Zyzzy for leading generic services.
New Business
- TooEasilyDistracted: My sibling suggested an event talking about modern problems – lead in Flint water, “chemtrails”, contaminated food, climate change. It seems to me that such topics are controversial, maybe contentiously so.
- Zoetrope Ocelot: There was a time when slavery was a contentiously controversial topic. I think given what’s at stake and having a Service aspect, UU should be taking on those topics.
- TED: If we had an event and advertised it in other places in SL, maybe we’d attract new people’s interest. Maybe we could have a notice on university public signboards inviting people to come to FUUCSL. I could post in Bozeman…
The meeting was adjourned at 6:12 pm SLT
Next meeting March 22, 2018 at Sofia’s Igloo.
