At this meeting I would like to discuss the idea of removing the bulk of our dollar resources ($1096,68) from Second Life. After keeping a prudent balance in SL in case expenses exceed income, I would keep “our endowment” secure someplace outside of Second Life, with access available to other officers of FUUCSL. Ideas are welcome.
- Board agrees that Sofia looks at how to take out USD from SL. See Parking lot.

Saturday service – TED
- Homily proposed for this week. Open Topic every other week.
New Business
- Taking $$$ out of Second Life and keeping safe somewhere else – Sofia investigating.
- Pride Party? Zoe has led a couple of Pride services and wonders if we want to expand that into a party.
- Raven: I thought about that. It might be better if we could plan ahead for next year. But if we wanted to hold a dance before the month is out, Wednesday before service or Friday after service at a decent hour sounds good. I’ve already DJed two pride dances at Sacred Cauldron & Left Hand Path Academy.
