- This is a social networking site. It has the benefit of finding people who are specifically interested in meeting in person. We should consider who would be an ideal person to be the main point of contact, and whether it might be better to have the meetup occur at a public venue like a coffee shop, bar or restaurant. --Fr. ΝΘΛΜΚΜΝΡΓ 12:24, 18 December 2008 (PST)

- A new version of the text has been prepared. We now will endeavor to create the necessary ritual(s) to support a basic offering to allow any form of marriage. Once this is done, printing can commence. --Fr. ΝΘΛΜΚΜΝΡΓ 23:23, 24 June 2009 (PDT)

- Design is proceeding on a per-document basis. Some documents are now complete. Total length of planned inclusions may be prohibitive for a free publication. Many possibilities exist for dealing with this. This question will be revisited once total page number is known. --Fr. ΝΘΛΜΚΜΝΡΓ 14:50, 4 June 2009 (PDT)

- BOTL in small size (1/4 of 8.5"x11" paper), where the back has our address/contact information as well as a spot to write the email address of the person who gave it out.
- 1/4 of 8.5"x11" size paper flier, one with the time of our Gnostic Mass and another with the time of our Tuesday class/forum (or perhaps one with both?). These would be for dropping off at various locations while being somewhat inexpensive to print, etc. Simple yet effective.
- Liber OZ on 1/2 size of 8.5"x11" sheet of paper which would include our address & contact info (we can write our email address on the back or something if we hand it out in person).
- Liber Librae in small booklet format (half of 8.5"x11" paper) including our address & contact info as well as a spot to write the email address of the person who gave it out.
Committee Values & Goals
Each committee has its own set of stated values, mission, and goals for 2009 ev. In some cases, these "goals" are more like "tasks" which all fit into the larger goals of the Lodge. We have not settled our terminology in these matters, but the point is, here is what each committee plans to do in 2009 ev. Each page will include updates to status as they are accomplished. --Fr. ΝΘΛΜΚΜΝΡΓ 16:22, 16 December 2008 (PST)
