Old Business:
- At the beginning of the meeting, Purrr made a motion to move to new business to talk about an particular issue of importance. We circled back to the following discussions later.
- Coronet
• Panty and Divigne wants to reverse engineer Purrr’s lovely coronet
- Bylaws
• Faegla gave us some advice
• Panty also informed the group that he has experience making bylaws, incorporating, and getting 501 c3 status
• Purrr presented a copy of the derby city bylaws
• Panty, Griselda, and Divigne are forming a bylaw committee
- committee will scan other houses and missions for ideas for our own bylaws
- Senior Novice Status
• Purrr brought up an idea about statuses
• the point is to give respect to novices waiting for the house to be lifted
- it may take 1-2 years where founders are stuck as novices
• They have all the rights and responsibilities of fully professed sister
• Majority of membership in agreement that it maybe interesting to explore further
- Website
• DIvigne and others will send pics and bios to the abbey gmail so that Tess can update
• submission dead line is Dec 15th
- Louisville Trip to Derby City Sisters
• Tess reported that Velveeta hasn’t responded to her message
• Tess will try contacting again
• Abbey is in agreement that the trip should be in the springtime because it is very cold
New Business:
- Facebook Conflict
• on November 29th, a fully professed sister made an inappropriate comment on how mission houses were conducting themselves
• the post had over 100 messages; it was very controversial
• newer houses were criticized for not behaving as “sisters” and not following veil traditions from west coast houses
• Co-moms Unity and Faegla disagreed and reaffirmed the agency of the mission houses
- Unity says colored veils acceptable for postulants/novices
- no where is it written that new houses are to emulate the SF houses
- both Co-moms gave ICS their full support
- manifesting is doing the work, of spreading joy that is
- no restrictions about spreading joy
- Father Fellatio 7:25 pm call
• FF submitted an aspirancy letter
• All members agreed to his Aspirant status
• we had a quick chat with him on the phone to celebrate
• FF had good news about using an office space in Indy for meetings
• FF also had a potential new member
