    25th-ish  Silver Jubilee.  Phoenix has great ideas made.  Planning group

    Death Mid-Wife

    From Kiva:   During Gathering a few of us were discussing the desire for options other than cremation for placing the departed on the island.  Some may have objections to cremation due to religious beliefs or environment concerns.  Anyway, a few days after Gathering I had the chance to meet a women named Jude who builds wooden caskets as a family tradition. (Her Grandfather was a casket maker).  Jude also conducts workshops, sometimes in collaboration with a friend who is a death midwife, on the practical and legal aspects of how the family can handle all the funeral and burial arrangements.  In Minnesota, embalming and a funeral home is not required, the body can be kept at home for a period of three days and burials can take place on private property.  If this is of interest to our community, Jude would be happy to conduct a workshop with us.

    Supplies

    Rocky/Scooter got new canoe paddles and various things. 

    Editing/Producing the Fall 2012 RFD issue

    Let's Do it!  Silver Jubilee Balls??   what are we doing for it?  How many pages etc?  What/who is being contributed?  ---Phoenix

    • Klick has agreed to post-Faeries book pix.
    • Braeburn has agreed to art made on the land.
    • Could dovetail nicely with archival project.

    Archive Weekend

    [from WA via the ethers] White Ash has talked with Scooter, Rocky & Phoenix about having a weekend at Scooter’s parents’ cabin to pull together pictures, artifacts, etc. throughout the history of our community.  His vision is that we have a table/area for each year & items could be moved around to the best of our recollections.  This would dovetail nicely with our upcoming Silver Jubilee and especially our RFD issue.  Digitization could happen.  Quill is a resource.

    Financial Report

    Ehsea provided financial report.

    Submitted by Monkey Butt (& White Ash Ass who couldn't help but embellish)
