    Summer Fundraiser Totals!

    I don't have any clue. I don't have a single idea of whom is a novice in our list and whom is not. If there are those who would like to make further donations to get us to our goal, we'll gladly accept them late, and add them to the tallies.

    Summer Fundraiser Totals!

    I'm actually quite astounded, so I thought this deserved a thread all it's own. I would like to extend my sincere, heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated their hard earned cash toward this project. I understand that there are very few of us who are independently wealthy, and it is difficult...

    I will be posting a final tally (Less Lilly's matching, because it will take time to sort out membership groups) tonight! Stay tuned! ( I suspect we made it.)

    June/July PSA: Money Matters.

    Wow! Thank you for bringing this up! There are certain documents that, as a member of TarValon.net, you have every right to view, but I haven't considered before how to offer them in a format that protects them and protects the community (it is proprietary information after all), but still...

    June/July PSA: Money Matters.

    The scholarship fund is a general funds disbursement. We just take it out of what we have in the pot, it's not something we take specific donations for.

    June/July PSA: Money Matters.

    So. We’re in the middle of asking everyone for money. A question looms though…. What do we do with all that money? Which is closely tied to another question: why should I give you my money? Let me start by sharing a little of the philosophy I have used in my tenure as the keeper of the...

    News from the Board of Directors.

    So that you're aware.... For a variety of reasons, the Board is revisiting this question, and we are working on what will be a reasonable direction in this area. We have found that there are a great number of facets to this, and it's not a simple, cut and dried issue. So. As things are...

    Annual Summer Fundraiser: June 15 to August 1!

    Generally, unless something is noted for otherwise (Euro summer, Anni, etc) we assume payments coming in are donations. So it's all good. And thank you all.

    News from the Board of Directors.

    Kelgan is right to a point. We do not intend to micromanage our officers, and God knows, we shouldn't ever have need to. Vivvy and Leora are awesomesauce on toast. LEt's say, for the sake of argument, that there was a kerfluffle in one of the memberships forums, and it were brought to our...

    News from the Board of Directors.

    We had a meeting last night. There were a couple of things we wanted to share. Formal TarValon.net title for Eleyan al'Landerin: Before we officially increased the size of our board from three members to five, Dralyn and I felt that, as a means of recognition for service from the "old" board...

    Annual Summer Fundraiser: June 15 to August 1!

    Six weeks actually did have a method to the madness. Some people get paid every two weeks, this would allow them to plan ahead and budget ahead, and people's pay dates are all over the place. Some people are paid on the 1st and fifteenth, so this allows three of these days, and still others...

    Hiring: Adminstrative Assistant for the Shatayan.

    For those who are wondering, I chose Cassie Sedai. Why did it take so long? Because I had many qualified applicants, and I had a lot to think about. It was a very difficult decision. Very. Much. Large. Hard.
