Re: Accountant's report

 

I've thought about it for awhile... For years I have wondered about SSR (and everything) being able to self fund and/or generate income through investing. (Never really brought it up)?

If we invested $1k 5 years ago in the SP500 it would be worth 1600 (apx) now.? Apx 10% growth.?

If we had invested 1k in Bitcoin 5 years ago, it would be work apx 11k now...?

I'm totally ok with paying the yearly requirements,?

And... It is interesting to think about.?

I have it in an online only bank, Ally. Has been pretty good for simple interest, among the best I have found.

Our Group Process

 

Hello Sisters,

Still feeling a bit in and out of liminal space. I remember this from doing the work before.?

Meggie mentioned gathering. I was wondering if?anyone feels called to see if we can map out the roles and if anyone remembers what was said.

I was red and in between?rebirth- ( groups intention) ?Emily - MJ ?to my right ?and Authority Paige -on my left?

This is what I have for notes

The Way- Deborah- not sure where she was?
Care - Kit - she was in the center?
Sacred Sisters- Alise- don't know where she was
Othering - Gail?

Lots of Love And Hugs

Re: extra food update

 

Hmmm. I plan to make a curry/coconut/ ginger/lemongrass/cilantro¡­ chicken and rice thingy. Everything is gluten free except the curry paste jar does not have a GF symbol on it but seemingly has no gluten ingredients in it. When I googled, it came up gluten free. Huh. ??

I could also try to buy a boxed soup that meets the restrictions, to offer to those two people.

Hello SSR Sisters!

Emily has found 5-6 volunteers to come be representatives for our Constellation work. One person can only come on Saturday and the rest will be there both Saturday and Sunday. (Sleeping elsewhere.)

Since they are volunteering their time and energy, we have offered them lunch both days.

The food restrictions we are aware of are:
  • Dairy free, vegetarian, Pea protein, Pea sprout allergy
  • Gluten free, dairy free, no soy, no night shades
Please bring larger dishes than usual for our shared meals so that there is plenty of food. Snacks to share are also welcome. It will be Emily, 5-6 volunteers, and 11 SSR women. So, a total of 17 - 18 people.

(I imagine if funds are tight for the extra food, women could ask to be reimbursed some from the materials fund.)

??????????? Saturday Lunch:

    • Marsia: entr¨¦e
    • Matooka: entree or soup
    • Kate Z: salad

Hi Women,

?

This is the email with lots of details for our weekend! It might seem like a long one, but the info is all in one place, and we used bright colors to make it way more cooler. ;)

First, our vote showed that everyone who voted was either thumbs-up or thumbs-horizontal, so we gave Emily the green-light to invite some extra women-type people to come be role players for Constellation work. We don¡¯t have the specific numbers for that yet.?With this in mind, because we are getting an incredible discount for the constellation work, we invited them to join us for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday.

We will know soon how many more people and what their food restrictions are. We'll keep you posted.

Hi Women,

?

This is the email with lots of details for our weekend! It might seem like a long one, but the info is all in one place, and we used bright colors to make it way more cooler. ;)

?

First, our vote showed that everyone who voted was either thumbs-up or thumbs-horizontal, so we gave Emily the green-light to invite some extra women-type people to come be role players for Constellation work. We don¡¯t have the specific numbers for that yet.?With this in mind, because we are getting an incredible discount for the constellation work, we invited them to join us for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday. So, for this coming weekend, we've shifted the shared meals to lunchtimes. Please bring a bigger amount than usual to feed the extra role players. We will know soon how many more people and what their food restrictions are. We'll keep you posted.

?

?

Shared Meals: If you¡¯d like to switch with someone, please contact them directly.

Reminder: please bring a larger portion than usual so that we can feed Emily's crew. Everyone is welcome to being extra snacks to share, as well.

extra food update

 

Hello SSR Sisters!

Emily has found 5-6 volunteers to come be representatives for our Constellation work. One person can only come on Saturday and the rest will be there both Saturday and Sunday. (Sleeping elsewhere.)

Since they are volunteering their time and energy, we have offered them lunch both days.

The food restrictions we are aware of are:
  • Dairy free, vegetarian, Pea protein, Pea sprout allergy
  • Gluten free, dairy free, no soy, no night shades
Please bring larger dishes than usual for our shared meals so that there is plenty of food. Snacks to share are also welcome. It will be Emily, 5-6 volunteers, and 11 SSR women. So, a total of 17 - 18 people.

(I imagine if funds are tight for the extra food, women could ask to be reimbursed some from the materials fund.)

??????????? Saturday Lunch:

    • Marsia: entr¨¦e
    • Matooka: entree or soup
    • Kate Z: salad
    • RayRay: protein
    • Jill: salad dressing, soup
    • Paige: bread and butter for whole weekend

???????????

?????????????Sunday Lunch:

    • Noreen: entr¨¦e
    • Abigail: entree
    • Gretchen: soup and/or snacks
    • Meggie: salad, toilet paper, and firewood
    • Katie: dessert


I'm including the "all logistics in one place" email below in case that's helpful.

Yay!
Meggie and Gretchen
