Chloe: Here's a bit of information that will be fun to do....
Chloe: Nornny would like to invite any AWHS building experts out there to help
Chloe: judge his own event called the Festival Building Contest.
Chloe: Oh, and don't forget!!!!
Chloe: Everyone else....he could sure use some builders
Chloe: to actually participate. The winner gets 3 Festival points! *smile*
Chloe: Next we wish to invite everyone who hasn't registered on the active members page....Please do so.

Chloe: Thank you all for coming...let's hear some ideas for the Event.
Chloe: ok....Q & A.

Chloe: ok !  & ?  :))
Chloe: noone has questions?   lol...great!
Nornny: I do! Hang on as I type it!
Chloe: :))  Norrny!
Nornny: There will be 45 minutes for us to give the tour, right?
Chloe: the event is the other thing...with bille's speech to start it off....
Chloe: the tour is the the hour we have filled to give the tour
Nornny: Ah, I see. So we show them around the musuem and that's it? Or do we have to do some history research. Eck!
Chloe: Mike is trying to get some oldies to speak and tour guide and explain some of the stories.
Seaotter: ?
Nornny: Ah. I see. :-)
Chloe: anyone can recruit old members for helping out :)
King Tex: ?
Chloe: KT
Chloe: (to Seaotter) you're next
Nornny: I thought the AWHS WAS the old society. :-/ 
King Tex: who is going to tell us the stories to tell to others ???
Chloe: lol...well anyone is welcome...some of our members are newbies and not so oldies :)
m0e: and some fall inbetween
Chloe: you want to volunteer KT?  :)
Seaotter: is this something we can help with there? we would volunteer time.
Nornny: So who do we have on the volenteer committee so far?
Chloe: ummmm....noone sofar ...that's why we need all the help we can get!
King Tex: Mike already asked me to do it .... but I don't know the stories behind what happened to bring about alot of the things in here. 
Seaotter: ?
Chloe: if you have gone and looked at the museum...maybe there are some pics you might know about?  then you could talk about those?
Chloe: otter?
Nornny: I'd help but am unsure if I can schedule in more net time with my own event and all. But I'd be happy to look up any old research for y'all
Chloe: ok nornny...research for not-so-oldies would work...stories for someoone to tell :)
Seaotter: wife and i would be willing  to volunteer if someone will take us there to show us around first.
Chloe: you get the coords?...they will be posted among the minutes on the web page today...they're also on teh awhs web page: http://www.awcommunity.org/awhs/
Seaotter: ok
Chloe: i would like to have some ideas of what to do for the rest of the event hour :((
Chloe: should we have speeches or a contest? Chloe: or both?
Nornny: :) Cool. And last question from me. We get our own spot in AWCC?? Can I help, can I, can I? *begs like a little dog*
Nornny: Trivia or scavenger hunt throughout the musuem?
Chloe: hehhe...yes we have 1/4 of the awcc world...mike and i picked out a site...small but it will work...and we have the sidewalk for booths too
Chloe: ok trivia or scavenger hunt...vote?
Chloe: discussion?
Nornny: I think both of those events are already on the listings of events though. :-/
Chloe: ok...not for the awhs...do you all think ppl would get tired of a scavenger hunt?
kellee: i made it   i hope
Chloe: trivia requires a bot i think...that would be a lot of work :(
Seaotter: !
Chloe: ! otter
Nornny: Yes. And newbies would probably be the only one to go to the tour so trivia doesn't help much.
Seaotter: scavenger hunt is good if it is not too hard.
Chloe: oldies will show up too i bet...on the tour...they (we) love to hear the stories!
Nornny: How about find the wrong picture? One that shouldn't belong in the musuem and make them spot it.
Nornny: Something like that?
Chloe: thanks otter...ok ...hey that's good nornny!
Chloe: anyone else?
Chloe: (making note of "wrong picture contest")
Chloe: (not contest...i dont' know what we would give as a prize lol)
Nornny: festival points?
Chloe: yea doh! Festival Points!
Chloe: so everyone in favor of "The Wrong Picture Contest" please say aye!
Ramal: y
Nornny: aye of course. :-)
Mauz: aye (who makes the pictures?)
Chloe: i can or Tyrell
Mauz: ok :)
Nornny: We'll just snap any old thing that doesn't have to do with history.
Nornny: And put it on somewhere in the musuems exhibits.
Mike: aye
Chloe: the actual picts can be made by anyone...i can hang them or tyrell can.
Mike: Can we quick vote on my stuff so I can know..
Chloe: the floor recognizes Mike:
Mike: Ok Hi everyone!
Chloe: (good idea Nornny!!! thanks!)
Mike: I have a short little vote I need done..
Mike: On June 26 at 7:00om PVRT
Mike: AWHS is hosting the "Founders Day" err "Aw Community Festival" *g* Historical Event
Mike: My idea was to have historical figures from AW's history speak, so far I have Lara and Bille
Mike: but I would like to hear any other ideas of what we could do during that time
Chloe: can i interrupt mike?
Nornny: Why not Bille and Chloe? That rhymes. :-)
Mike: Yes Chloe
Chloe: we have been discussing a really good idea:
kellee: ?
Mike: ok..
kellee: ?
Chloe: it was suggested that we have a "Wrong Picture Contest"...it would give festival points
Chloe: and we can hang some picts in the museum that aren't historical and whoever finds them first will win.
Chloe: (you're next kellee)
Mike: ok.. so how long do you think this will be?
Chloe: so far we have two speakers..which should be enough...then the museum wrong pict contest...
Mike: will it fill up a whole hour?
Mike: ok..
Nornny: probably will if we make it hard enough.
Chloe: the tour?  oh yes...we'll have some story telling and tour the picts
Mike: I can work that out.. 
Chloe: ok :)
Chloe: anything else Mike?   i know you are pressed for time
Mike: ok.. umm I don't think so..
Chloe: thanks Mike!!!  :))
Chloe: kellee?
Mike: I will be sorta afk.. :))
kellee: im sorry     but i have absolutely NO idea of what everyone is talking about    was this emailed?
Chloe: lol...no hon  we discussed it when you were wfs :((
Chloe: i will email though ...and the minutes will be posted as soon as the meeting is over
kellee: okies    sorry     just feel silly not knowing   hehehe
Chloe: probably won't email, come to think of it...i'll post them that way everyone can read what happend in case anyone missed something....
Chloe: any other comments?
Chloe: mOe....Mauz? do you two want to participate? i know you have stories Mauz...but i know how busy you are too honey :))
Chloe: hmmm are we lagging...or is everyone quiet?
m0e: chloe, I am not that old, and my first year was spent learning how to build
Mauz: sorry that's midsummer weekend, i'll probably be in the countryside
Nornny: I'm quiet, for once. :-)
Chloe: oooo i envy you Mauz  lol...i'll be packing a house that i've lived in for 11 years :((((
Chloe: ok then....i'll consider this meeting adjourned?
Mike: wait
Mike: I 'm coming back for 1 sec

Mike: Would anyone here volunteeer to give the tours?
Mike: or help in being there to find the winner of the wrong pic contest

Mike: ok :)
Nornny: okay. 
Mauz: ?
Chloe: Mauz?
King Tex: he is moving into a new house right now ...but it might be something he would take part in 
Chloe: (ok KT)
Mauz: nothing else on the agenda? like any news about the restoration project?
Chloe: darn... i was hoping i could get outta that lol
Mauz: ;)
Nornny: Restoration project? Ooh, tell me more.
Chloe: it's kind of on hold...the core members haven't been diligent in working on it...some have given up...it is a huge job and frustrating...i dont' blame them...but it's kind of on hold....
Chloe: i have been so busy i haven't been able to rally them...or do anything myself...
Chloe: we are still wanting to get it done however.
Nornny: I'd like to help, whatever it is. I have plenty of time to waste. :-)
Mike: I can help (remember? bored??) :))
kellee: sorta on hold    pending Holidays    and high rates in holiday destination
Chloe: the Core group is restricted to a very few old members...I am very picky about who is on it, and so is AWCOM...it's a very critical and sensitive area :(((
Nornny: Ah. I thought Core group just meant the center of the group. o_O 
Chloe: i'm sorry...but it requires ppl who are old members...who know the history of the community, it's nuances and feelings and can take a beating from others...it's very difficult  :((((
Nornny: I hate beatings and being old. So I guess its not for me. lol
Mauz: yes you don't want to make enemies just yet ;)
Chloe: lol thanks for understanding  Nornny :))))
Chloe: lol Mauz
Chloe: ok...if noone has any more questions or comments we can adjourn?
