We had been considering her as an active/voting member, but that’s affecting quorum. She’s given up her voting rights temporarily while in Texas. Sister Gloria suggested we create a “Missionary” status.  Minimal discussion around this.\nMotion: By Guard Ian - Create a missionary status for siblings who are traveling, but expected to return to the area eventually.  We can use this to classify Gloria Holes. Position is like a sabbatical, but the individual can retain their previous status when moving back to the area.\nSecond Sister Sacral, no discussion. motion passed unanimously\nNeed to remember that we’re a target. Rule of 2.\nPadre mentioned concern about Anam going out and doing political things without consulting the house. Need to do it with other siblings.\nWe all need to do better about planning things in advance with safety in mind. Let people know where you’re going. Have a close, trusted friend there to meet when you go out, ideally another sibling or two. Even in safe places, like MJs.\nNext Meeting:\nSunday, March 9, 2025 12:00 PM (EDT)\nLGBT Life Center\n5360 Robin Hood Rd, Norfolk, VA 23513\nGoogle Meet joining info\nVideo call link: meet.google.com/bwv-yiti-pgm \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 605-653-3151‬ PIN: ‪252 116 418‬# \nMore phone numbers: tel.meet/bwv-yiti-pgm\nAction Items\n\n Guard Ian to make list of 10 questions to answer for novice projects\n"},"Meeting-Minutes/2025-03-09---Monthly-Meeting":{"title":"2025-03-09 - Monthly Meeting","links":["tags/Meeting","Meeting-Minutes/2025-02-09---Monthly-Meeting"],"tags":["Meeting"],"content":"Meeting\nSeven City Sisters - Harbor of the Immaculate Harlots\nMission Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\nMonthly Meeting\nMarch 9, 2025 at 12:00 PM (EDT)\nLGBT Life Center\n5360 Robin Hood Rd, Norfolk, VA 23513\nOfficers/Board\n\n\nPresident/Prioress\n\nSister Ivana Balls O’Plenty (John Hughes)\n\n\n\nVice President/Mistress of Novices\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia (Juan Carlos Estremera)\n\n\n\nSecretary/Master of Communications\n\nPadre Hell-Hound (Rachael Hernandez)\n\n\n\nTreasurer/Master of Coins\n\nGuard Ian Ada Galaxy (Tim Riggs)\n\n\n\nBoard Member at Large\n\nSister Tina Bortions (Michael Haynes)\n\n\n\nLeadership\n\nMistress of Cosmetics and Habits\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia\n\n\n\nAttendance\nAspirants\n\nMike Mohr (Virtual)\n\nPostulants (Probationary Members)\n\nTerry Lee (Virtual)\nMichael Dunaway (Spyder Wolf) (Virtual)\nSister Cervixia Aqueeria Lockjaw “CAL” (Alex Barber)\nErrol King Venezuellaa (Virtual)\n\nGuests:\n\nSister April Hamm Linkin\n\nVoting Members (Novice/Founding Members):\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia “SIDMI”\nGuard Ian Ada Galaxy\nSister/Guard/Pup Raiz Her Spikes\nSister Ivana Balls’o’Plenty (Virtual)\nSister Tina Bortions\nFather Mori Patri Harkey (Malarkey Harkey)\n\nAbsent:\n\nSister Cain Tuckee\nPadre Hell-hound\n\nMinutes\nQuorum:  6/8\nCo-Mom/Mentor Updates\nN/A\nOld Business\nPrevious Meeting Minutes\n2025-02-09 - Monthly Meeting\nNo corrections, additions, or discussions\nNew Business\nOfficer Reports\nPresident:\n2025 is coming in like a wrecking ball, nice and fresh.\nSister Ivana introduced New visitor, interested in joining the house: Mike (Sister Ivana’s roommate.)

Some verbiage in there to allow grace in handling based on their referral.\nGuard Ian: We added verbiage in the proposed bylaws for a situation in which we couldn’t reach the Abbess or MoN for recommendation, to allow vetting by the board.\nSister Traci: Could alternatively ask for a recommendation from two former house members in lieu of letter from Abbess or MoN.\nElevation Process\nNeed to determine how we will vote for them, Bylaws say secret ballot. We can adjust that if we change to a voice vote during meeting.\nPadre: Who is helping the guards?  Three fathers, who is taking guard, who is taking sister.\nWhy did we get rid of the distinction between guards and sisters? who decided it?\nP&P Committee meetings? when were they? why wasn’t the house made aware.\nNeed to open P&P committee to the house for meetings and better communicate them.\nNeed to define roles for Guards, several people have been asking. Padre to meet with a Guard from the Tampa Sisters.\nManifestations Amendment\nSister Ivana proposes an amendment to the current P&Ps (ahead of P&P rewrite approval), which requires members to determine a point sibling ahead of an event, complete report for attendance after the event. Need to plan manifestations instead of doing them without planning.\nMiscellaneous Concerns\nPadre: Concerns about Sister Sacral going out to so many events all the time. Never have time to meet with people, no planning events in advance.\nSister Sacral: Encouraged Padre to come out to events!\nPadre had concerns about not being able to trust other members of the house. Communications issues prior to starting the house, leaks of information from early founding meetings, and Sister Gloria and other house members being bullies. They also had issues with bringing select members of the KH near them when manifesting and giving them a hug. MJs is not a safe place for them.\nSister Tracy and April - we need to be able to trust each other and not bring drama and preconceived notions into the current group. Sibling not being able to trust another at an event is a problem that needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY.\nSister Ivana - tried to resolve what we could - Apologized for what happened with Gloria. What happened with Nico and another original potential founding member of the house was beyond his control. He’s always given Padre a chance regardless of what other people have said. We need to understand boundaries and issues in order to properly address them.\nAs a house, need to schedule more social without makeup.\nMentors mentioned feedback about cliques and some members of the house not talking to each other. Sister Sacral mentioned not being aware of the cliques and being sad/concerned about not knowing about them.\nTo schedule a food meeting in late July, date to be determined in slack. Need regular house meetings without makeup!\nGuard Ian: Concerns over conversations in board chat regarding handling of Sister Cain Tuckee. Padre confirmed they were just wanting to clarify the differences between P&Ps and Bylaws and trying to gain understanding, not trying to target Cain Tuckee.\nSister Ivana proposed starting fresh with meeting attendance and event/manifestation attendance, now that we’re tracking attendance for manifestations. Almost every house member would be considered inactive at this point if we went strictly by the bylaws for previous history, including but not limited to Cain Tuckee, Padre, Ivana, and Cecilia. Starting fresh will make it easier for everyone now that we’re able to keep track of it better.\nThis can be a motion at the next meeting.\nRoles and Leadership Positions\nSister Ivana - Sister Sacral has way too much to do. Adjusting process for aspirants and postulants to have two big siblings/sponsors to take work off of the MoN.\nSister Traci: What roles is Guard Ian Currently filling not related to the Treasurer role:\nGuard Ian: Acting secretary, in some cases - acting abbess (meetings and agendas), webmaster, manager of google workspace, UNPC delegate, P&P Committee Chair.\nWith election of a new Secretary, Guard Ian to transition all secretary tasks to newly elected board member by August.\nNeed to define rolls for:\n* Webmaster\n* Management of slack/google workspace/email groups\n* Father Time: Management of event calendar, public email communication, etc\nGuard Ian needs to formulate a contract for web hosting to say who is responsible for what.\nBoard Meeting Schedule\nNeed to look into dates in September.\nDispensations\nSister Ivana - Dispensation for White Face for an aspirant MUST NOT happen again. This is a person not even officially a member of the house yet, they need to make that clear by distinguished look.\nAction Items:\n\n Guard Ian to openpp-committee channel to public for house, committee to schedule future meetings and invite whole house to it, provide notes to house.\n Guard Ian to formulate a contract for web hosting/who is responsible for what\n Guard Ian\n Sister Ivana to schedule food meeting in July (Mongolian BBQ?

Please read over in the next 30 days and post feedback.\nFather Malarkey is doing section by section recordings of the proposed edits. Please post comments on each item in a thread over individual sections.\nSafety Committee\nPadre mentioned that the first meeting went well. They have notes from the meeting to post. Tabled until Padre can get the notes in front of them.\nNew Business\nNora Torius\nTo Hell-Hound - Sister Nora Torius should have invited Padre out last night. Even if they didn’t want to, She should have invited Padre and apologizes to Padre. Nora apologizes to Padre  and to the whole house.\nWhy she’s here. We had an emergency meeting and they intentionally kept us on edge. But the result is that this trip was able to be the fun sister magic (except for the one member we didn’t allow to feel safe with us, which we have to do better)\n.\nUNPC is not here to tell us how to do things, just to give guidance.\nWhy the sisters?\nSisters have been told they would ruin things for 46 years, and we’ve always done the opposite.\n1981 - “Gay Cancer” early HIV. Sister Florence Nightmare - she was a nurse, started organize posters, and how to raise money to address this. That’s when they became a 501(c)(3). That means we have a board, bylaws, reporting, tax filings. That doesn’t mean that’s how we have to operate as a house.\nWe have a powerless Abbess - they run the meetings, but don’t dictate how things happen.\nWe have a powerless board - they make recommendations and act as a committee for the house to decide.\nWhat is the purpose of the Co-MoMs and UNPC - it’s very different from what Nora was expecting. Super rewarding, super challenging.\nNothing we’re experiencing is new - they have experienced it in other houses.\nShe’s not a queen, she’s a sister like each and every one of us.\nWhat is she representing?\nShe knows the meeting scared us, but she hopes you see who she really is. Bad dad jokes and silliness. Offer to hug the person who needs it (with consent!)\nWhy did she manifest last night?\nIt went back and forth, she’s been in the inertia with you.  Need structure to make decisions as a house. I feel your house needs structure. What doing with P&Ps is correct.\nNeed protocol for conflict resolution - absolutely correct.\nThree rules of the Sisters:\nWe do not flark with the money\nWe do not flark with the community\nWe do not flark with each other\nShe saw sister magic last night - and she’s sorry for the individual who couldn’t be there.\nNeed to resolve some of these issues. EVERYONE should feel welcome and safe.\nListen first, say the sisters missions, and consider how you will answer to a community member.\nShe’s very proud of us and will be here a few more days. She’s at our service.\nCecilia\nThe Veils:\nRemembrance\nWhite veil - anyone that the community has lost\nShame\nBlack Veil - things that make people feel unloved and unwelcome.\nTo develop a ritual to burn it. Place, time, and who?\nCleric Ace Bandages - familiar with rituals in Paganism, preferred using fire.\nPride\nRed Veil - goal of making it into a pride flag. This year red, next year orange.\nConcept of Coronet. Thought of it being more of a concept of mythical nautical theme and not a specific creation. Conch shell, cathulu. Daddy Neptune theme.\n$653 total cost for 100 coins\n$175 initial down payment\n\nJae Lacott - point of order, hard to hear with people talking over one another.\nPadre - point of order - can’t hear, someone just said that, we’re not following Robert’s Rules.\nMotion: Cecilia - Approve project concept. Delivery of first 10 coins determining completion of project. Second.\nDiscussion open.\nGuard Ian:  Amending motion: Approve the project and a conditional allocation for the 175downpaymentpendingCecilia′sdonationtothehouseof175. Cecilia to work with fundraising committee to get remaining cost for the initial coins, Second.\nNo further discussion.\nMotion passes unanimously.\nMalarkey\nEveryone should have access to all the calendar, Father will help anyone who needs access.\nIvana\nElevation and Transferring from other orders will be posted in slack for review/vote in August meeting.\nCode of Conduct and Accountability document is being drafted. Thorough document which will be presented to the house for a two month period prior to approval.\nCecilia and Malarkey are drafting the document for everyone to review.\nHouse conduct to date:\nWe’ve all had bad words with each other, either very public and verbose, or sideways snide comments. It needs to stop. We can’t love the community when we cannot love each other. We don’t always have to agree and don’t always have to like each other.\nNora: Don’t have to like your sister, but have to love them.\nGuard Ian: From UNPC calls, we need to identify when to take it off slack. Maybe we need a keyword to indicate some way to say we need a phone call or video call about something. Easier to convey via audio/preferably audio/video.\nSister Traci uses “Sister, may I have a quiet word?” For face to face or a minimum phone call.\n“Quiet word” means we need to move away from written communication and move to.\nThere is an internal review in the Knight Hawks about everything that has occurred on Facebook recently . Sister Ivana is going to reach out to board to get details.\nDoes not require a member to submit a grievance, but any community member can submit a grievance.

He’s learned about the sister through Sister Sacral but frequently sees us out and about.\nSister Ivana: Confirmed that Guard Ian is taking notes until Father Malarkey Arrives.\nCo-Mom/Mentor Updates\nIvana welcomes Sister Nora and Kim Boocha, our Co-MoMs. And made a joke about accidentally almost calling Nora Torius “Sister Nora Virus”. Kim agrees that Sister Nora Virus would be a great name.\nSister Kim Boocha to review notes from previous co-mom meeting and steps for 30 and 90 day goals.\nNora: One of the original goals was use of Roberts Rules of Order - Nora has seen that applied, and noticed several copies of it floating around from her visit. Kim notes seeing it being used in our chats through virtual votes.\nNora: Another 30 day goal was communication, identified issues with people not communicating directly with people. Nora has seen us working on issues for ourselves and not running to the mentors and Co-MoMs.\nKim noted that communication in chat seems to be improving, things have been a bit more quiet. People are bringing up their questions and concerns, and constructively addressing concerns. She noted that we wanted to see us communicating with each other, but they are still there to bounce ideas off of us as well. They are always there if we have questions or thoughts on things. Always around to share their perspective, but will typically direct us to our own procedures on the matters.\nSister Traci noted she’s seeing a lot of bonding. She noted that she appreciates things changing from asking for her “opinion” to asking for “perspective”.\nNora: Noted that there was previously a lot of focus on negative aspects of house members. She encouraged us to focus on people’s strengths. Seeing more “I” statements, and things are improving to be more positive.\nKim: The I statements are working, things are becoming more constructive and positive. It’s working.\nTraci: Major increase in respect for each others’ feelings. That’s huge - many mission houses miss that at first. She applauds us for that.\nNora: Building a cohesive team. There was some question about board positions and leadership. Getting defined members to do what they need to do in the house. New secretary, filling open board position.\nNora: Finding new ways to manifest and work on new ways to impact the community. That’s one that we can still work on over the next 60 days.\nShe’s super proud of us, and really wants to emphasize that. So grateful for her visit and the ability to meet us in person - she fell in love with each and every one of us.\nTraci: Diversity in the venue of manifestations. Still bar centric, but it will come in time. Story time with kids, blessings in the park with Daddy Neptune, etc.\nNora: Got to witness blessing with the Dildent with Daddy Neptune during her visit with us. Got to experience Sister Sacral.\nNora: One more goal - 2/3 rules for manifestation. Of Makeup, clothing, and nametag, have at least two of three.  If mish face, maybe consider a uniform and/or nametag.\nKim: Diversification of manifestations, she encourages us to make more non-bar events as a goal for a future. Some houses have a rule like that.\nNora: Last item was the P&Ps. Working on the P&Ps is being done, we’re following them more equitably, and not weaponizing them. Hopefully we can give her an update on that. Looking for another update in the next 60 days, not that it’s a deadline.\nTraci: Father Malarkey and Ivana have been reaching out for verbiage and working on it section by section, she didn’t pass that onto the Co-Moms and she apologizes for it.\nIvana: Working on a few sections of the P&Ps still, which were supposed to be coming before the house for this meeting, so we’re going to have to table that until the next meeting.\nNora: She has seen a lot of progress and is satisfied with our work over the past 30 days.\nKim: She has also seen a log of progress, seeing more insight being shared, great work with recent visit with Nora. It’s been really cool to see us evolve as a house. Way to go!\nTraci: Very happy with the progress, it’s been a tumultous month, and we’re becomign stronger because of it and learning to love each other again. Definitely seeing communication improve and can’t wait to see us moving forward.\nNora: That covers the 30 day check in.  They’ll check in on us at the next meeting for progress. Continue to be organized, work on tasks one-by-one, work on the P&Ps as you have time.\nTraci: One more thing, South Florida Sisters will be sending 15 copies of Non-violent Communication book. SFS has donated them to the Co-MoMs. Going to set up a library checkout card in there. Encourage us to read a chapter a month and talk about it as a house. When we’re done, send it back to a Co-MoM so they can share it with another house.\nNora: To leave one copy to MoN for educational purposes. Sacral confirms she has it.\nKim: Traci has read it, Kim and Nora are both currently reading it. Going to use it as a tool for the rest of the mission orders, as it’s helping everybody so far.\nIvana: Very tumultous month for sure, She is proud that we’re moving forward and making progress, proud of everyone in this order.\nPrevious Meeting Minutes\n2025-07-13 - Monthly Meeting\nIvana: Motion to approve previous meeting minutes, Second by Sacral.\nNot additions or corrects, passed as posted.\nNew Business\nOfficer Reports (Limit to 3 minutes per report - 15 min total)\nAbbess (President):\nIvana: Very tumultuous month for sure, She is proud that we’re moving forward and making progress, proud of everyone in this order. She doesn’t have much, a few things to bring up in old business.\nIvana: Sidebar conversation, the spidey senses were off, apparently, more on that after the meeting.\nMistress of Novices (Vice President):\nShe was going to cover the books as a part of MoN, since that’s a responsibility of MoN. She’s very excited and happy with the South Florida Sisters for donating these to the Co-MoMs. She would like in slack before the next meeting to come up with dates for a Communications retreat. Whether it’s next month, or after we finish the book.\nSinging Lessons:\nThe last singing lesson conducted was very one-on-one. Next one should be a group thing. Knowing everyone’s schedules would be helpful. Ideally, would like to have it at end of September ideally, or at least before December.\nIvana: Recommendation since it will be a house event, push it two months out. Gives people time to arrange schedules first.\nSac: Going to post in slack to see what schedules are like, then come up with a date based on that.\nCleric: Requested that we don’t do it during October, since they work in a haunted house.\nSac: Definitely, we’re going to consider everyone’s schedules, September was a goal but may not be feasible.\nBetween now and then, she’s going to send out things for us to watch and read. Not mandatory, but stuff that will help prior to the singing lesson. Pushing it further back, will give her more time to prepare.\nMembership Updates:\nTabled for executive session.\nMaster of Communications (Secretary):\nNo report at the moment.\nHe does propose that we make the microphone stand something more phallic.\nHe apologizes for being late.\nMaster of Coins (Treasurer):\nGuard Ian:\nFinancial Report:\n2025-08-09—SCS-Treasurers-Report.pdf\nNo discussion, approved as posted.\nNeed to schedule a meeting for Fundraising Committee.

No discussion.\nPassed unanimously.\nPadre Hell-hound\nPadre submitted a resignation to Sister Sacral via email on July 29, 2025.\nFather Malarkey read the email contents for the minutes.\n\nIvana: This is painful, a lot of things have transpired. Ivana doesn’t regret the decision to bring them on, it’s caused damage, but it’s not irreconcilable. We need to stop, collaborate and listen.\nOne edict: No matter what was said, no matter what we hear, no matter what is done, do not let negative things fly out of our mouth about this person. Do not let this person occupy your brain rent free.\nOur official stance, if someone in the community asks, defer it to a novice or founding member. We tried, and at the time, we decided it was best to part ways. If it comes out otherwise, there will be consequences.\nFather Malarkey: They would like to add some verbiage to our official statement\n“We love Rachael, and wish her the best”.\nIvana: Open discussion for it. want to put this to rest.\nGuard Ian: are we going to to discuss during executive session?\nIvana: Might should have held this for executive session\nGuard Ian: has something to bring up for it during executive session.\nIvana: Someone from KH reached out that they are doing an internal investigation. We are promoting change in our community.\nShe is proud of each and every one of us. Without us, none of this works.\nIvana: Robert Velasquez has put in a request for us to talk at a KH membership meeting, wants to have us speak. Don’t have dates yet, she will send them out to the house. She would like 3-4 members.\nGuard Ian: Might be a good opportunity to give a blessing to the KH - Sister Spikes - Bring the dildent.\nSister Spikes\nWe’re already getting started with next year’s Fairy Godmother project. Want sisters to be involved.\nIvana: Please make sure we get it on the calendar ASAP.\nSpikes: It’s around prom time so it’s almost a year.\nFather Malarkey\nFor meeting with KH, He would like to be present if there is room for him. Would like to get to know them for communications based role. Give them an example of our new mindset of grace.\nIvana: Will update house when we hear back.\nSister Mary Francis\nDid everyone get your pins yet? Wants to send one to Kim, Nora, and Traci as well.\nIvana: how can we get one to Nora?\nNora: Going to be at this address for a while.

Will send new poll link with two candidates with the highest number of votes.\nSecond vote (runoff):\n\nSister Cersei elected as new interim board member at-large, will serve for the remainder of 2025 until new board elected in December.\nSister Traci: She is going to be working on an anti-bullying campaign and intends to reach out to April. Is the house OK with this, any concerns?\nNo concerns from the house, it will be good to have her input.\nIvana: No one had concerns with April herself, only when she lost objectivity.\nWe are grateful for April’s contributions as a mentor, but mutually agreed that it’s in the best interest in the house to give her a break from that position.\nGuard Ian: Prior to Rachael’s resignation, we had received several grievances centered around Rachael and some other members of the house. Wanted to make sure the house was aware that the Board heard and were investigating. Ultimately, the resignation satisfied that and we determined that most of the grievances have been addressed through the resignation.\nFather Malarkey shared a board recommendation that was drafted prior to Rachael’s resignation that address grievances by recommending a censure and suspension and stated an action plan.\nGuard Ian clarified that this is no longer the recommendation of the board, since the resignation satisfied it, the board now recommends archiving this for review by future board members.\nSister Ivana: Motion to archive the draft for board recommendation and review by future board members. Second: Father Malarkey\nNo further discussion.\nMotion passes unanimously.\nSacral: We can work on including some of these action items for returning members in our code of conduct for the P&Ps as well. Need to allow the public to air grievances to us as well if they have them. But at the same time, the whole community doesn’t need to know about our dirty laundry either.\nMeeting adjourned: 2:04 PM.\nNext Meeting:\nSunday, September 14, 2025 12:00 PM (EDT)\nLGBT Life Center\n5360 Robin Hood Rd, Norfolk, VA 23513\nGoogle Meet joining info\nVideo call link: meet.google.com/bwv-yiti-pgm \nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 605-653-3151‬ PIN: ‪252 116 418‬# \nMore phone numbers: tel.meet/bwv-yiti-pgm\nAction Items\n\n Sister Ivana to send out drafts for P&P updates (membership, elevation, etc)\n Find more ways to manifest/minister outside of bar nights\n More Blessings\n Read a chapter of Nonviolent Communication per Month, discuss at GM\n Radical Faeries Research\n Schedule P&P discussion for All Contributors\n Schedule Communications Retreat\n Schedule Singing Lesson\n Schedule Fundraising Committee Meeting\n Schedule Veil of Shame Burning\n Fill Positions ex: Chair of Safety Committee, MoLO\n\nAttendance\nAspirants\n* Willa Lambert\nPostulants (Probationary Members)\n\nSister Mary Francis (Mike)\n\n\nSister Memento Moria (James)\nChaplain Gnome (Kayla)\nCleric Ace Bandages (Masso Kissed)\n\nGuests:\n\nSister Traci Undercaffenated (Mentor)\nKim Boocha (Co-MoM)\nSister Nora Torius (Co-MoM)\nRyan Flanagan\nJorge “Jae” Lacott\n\nVoting Members (Novice/Founding Members):\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia “SIDMI”\nGuard Ian Ada Galaxy\nSister Cecilia Upton Noella Thompson\nSister Ivana Balls’o’Plenty\nSister Cain Tuckee\nSister Spikes\nBrother Spyder Wulf\nFather Malarkey Patri’Harkey\nSister Cersei Aqueeria Lockjaw “CAL”\nBrother Canteer\nSister Tina Bortions\nFather Harry Cox\n"},"Meeting-Minutes/2025-09-14---Monthly-Meeting":{"title":"2025-09-14 - Monthly Meeting","links":["tags/Meeting"],"tags":["Meeting"],"content":"Meeting\nSeven City Sisters - Harbor of the Immaculate Harlots\nMission Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\nMonthly Meeting\nSeptember 14, 2025 at 12:00 PM (EDT)\nLGBT Life Center\n5360 Robin Hood Rd, Norfolk, VA 23513\nOfficers/Board\n\n\nPresident/Abbess\n\nSister Ivana Balls O’Plenty (John Hughes)\n\n\n\nVice President/Mistress of Novices\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia (Juan Carlos Estremera)\n\n\n\nSecretary/Master of Communications\n\nFather Malarkey (Bubba Rose)\n\n\n\nTreasurer/Master of Coins\n\nGuard Ian Ada Galaxy (Tim Riggs)\n\n\n\nBoard Member at Large\n\nSister Cersei (Alex)\n\n\n\nLeadership\n\nMistress of Cosmetics and Habits\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia\n\n\n\nMinutes\nQuorum: 8/12\nCo-Mom/Mentor Updates\nNone apart from later discussion regarding the library created by Co-Moms/Mentors for the purposes of educating SoPI Orders.\nPrevious Meeting Minutes\nsistory.sevencitysisters.org/Meeting-Minutes/2025-08-10---Monthly-Meeting\nGuard Ian motioned to approve, Malarkey seconded, no opposed no abstained\nMinutes approved.\nNew Business\nSacral wants to speak with Abbess regarding elevation ceremonies, Cecilia has a draft for suggestion, wants to meet with Cecilia to coordinate then bring details to the house, intends to schedule and speaks to this being a house need, something ignored for two years, doesn’t feel comfortable for house elevation without this under belt.\nABBESS suggests by next meeting, a deadline, Sacral agrees something to present before the next meeting 10/12\nTDOR 11/20 \nSunny- Volunteers are needed, put to calendar \nMalarky volunteered for point nun, Ian wants to tag team. \nMalarkey- board should discuss how we handle approached events as to not overbook ourselves, don’t want to spread ourselves thin\nMalarky spoke to regularly checking email intends to set up regular office hours\nMalarkey asked to encourage folks to look into community support tagged items on calendar to further engage in community support in ways other than bar nights\nAbbess mentions points of contact and organize for outreach, food bank contacts non church based food banks, some are faith based but do not proselytize,.\nMalarkey added he’d like to help.\nMoLo position needed, to help facilitate house elevation \nNomination timeline discussed, two weeks as to have time to resolve by next gGM, possibly a polly poll, hesitant to use that form but position needs to be filled\nIan suggested google forms.\nAbbess- Agenda Item- Attire and Attire Committee chat, can it be merged?

Sometimes the best we can do for others is sit beside them. We can be activists, clowns, scene but it’s when we respond to people with grace it’s something the community doesn’t get much of.\nAbbess confers, and reminds us to show grace all around, during moments where we can lead by example. Lead with love.\nMoN asks guest Jorge for perspective on TDOR as an outside the house view;\nJorge expresses after clarifying the question, it’s been important to them over the years, so happy to see the Sisters there repeatedly, provides comfort for secular attendees and makes it holy and beautiful, a sacred space. The specialness is by the people, the flag and makes it more community centered. Feels solemn and important. Remembrance is important, and the attendance continues to grow. Feels a part of something special when they’re with SCS. About the Q&A, they really like it, appreciates the perspectives provided and the vulnerability, remarked about the parent on the panel with their child present. It added to the connection for the community.\nMalarkey chiming in again, appreciates Jorge’s reply. Says to Tina that the Q&A, references the mother answering how she found out about her child’s identity, how she discussed her continued love, it provided healing to the audience. As they were sitting they heard the audience commenting during and after, it touched a lot of people.

Sister Sirena of the Weird City Sisters in Austin Texas went over CRP, via a VERY Sisterly powerpoint, MoN highly recommends you watch, and after a break assisted meeting attendees in practicing CRP. MoN details how useful it is during creative projects, (novice, blessing, otherwise). Again encourages everyone go through the materials emailed by Kim,  \nAfter some months and finally finishing NVC, they believe this material should be a highly encouraged read in order to elevate. They’re hesitant to make it a requirement. May provide a recording, but offers options for those who digest literature differently.

Wouldn’t go so far as to expect book reports. NVC encouraged again.\nGoes through thoughts on not making it mandatory, abbess suggests not weaponizing it, Malarkey offers the counter having requirements/trainings to interact with the public he doesn’t interpret requirements to be a weaponized thing. Are there other ways to provide the training, and safely hold expectations, representing SIP at large.\nMentions the danger of the times, the importance of having some requirements for elevation, saying we are inherently provocative by nature. \nSuggests developing training, how we respond to several social elements of concern.\nBrother Canteer, while we’re working on the elevation process, we could make amendments regarding transition, you have supportive training.\nAbbess speaks to postulant stage starting on such topics, the basics, but as you continue you fine tune the rest of the communication aspects and how to interact with the public. It’s a matter of how we choose to do it (singing lessons/workshops).\nMomma Nora, temp broken up not understood. Something regarding the subject is great for structuring those mentoring relationships, certainly against weaponizing but the lessons are certainly important, and most learn by sharing with others. Let’s drop the weaponizing language\nAnd use our resources.\nMoN simply expresses how they really don’t want their words used in the future to hold people back or haze them.

We’ve elevated prematurely before so we’re still a work in progress. \nBrother Canteer brings up the topic of crediting volunteer work during the subject of manifestations, and his peers suggest while you’re present wearing just two items counts towards manifestation, there is also some concern with measuring far too many things and the tediousness of that. \nExecutive Session: (Limit to 10 minutes)\nPostulants, Aspirants, and Guest will be excused from the meeting for private discussion by Novices and FPM, details noted for House reference only\nNo executive session\nNext Meeting:\nSunday, Feb 8, 2026 12:00 PM (EDT)\\\nLGBT Life Center\\\n5360 Robin Hood Rd, Norfolk, VA 23513\nGoogle Meet joining info\\\nVideo call link: meet.google.com/bwv-yiti-pgm \\\nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 605-653-3151‬ PIN: ‪252 116 418‬# \\\nMore phone numbers: tel.meet/bwv-yiti-pgm \nAction Items"},"Meeting-Minutes/2026-2-08---Monthly-Meeting":{"title":"2026-2-08 - Monthly Meeting","links":["tags/Meeting"],"tags":["Meeting"],"content":"Meeting \nSeven City Sisters - Harbor of the Immaculate Harlots\nMission Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\nMonthly Meeting\nFebruary 8 at 12:00 PM (EDT)\nLGBT Life Center\n5360 Robin Hood Rd, Norfolk, VA 23513\nOfficers/Board\n\n\nPresident/Abbess- Sister Ivana Balls O’Plenty (John Hughes)\n\n\nVice President/Mistress of Novices- Sister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia (Juan Carlos Estremera)\n\n\nSecretary/Master of Communications- Father Malarkey (Bubba Rose)\n\n\nTreasurer/Master of Coins- Guard Ian Ada Galaxy (Tim Riggs)\n\n\nBoard Member at Large- Brother Canteer (Terry Lee)\n\n\nAttendance and Agenda\nMembership Roster / Attendance\nAspirants\n\nnone\n\nPostulants (Probationary Members)\n-Kayla Hageli\n-Mike Mohr\nGuests:\n\n\nTraci Undercaffeinated (Mentor)\n\n\nSister Nora Torius (Co-MoM)\n\n\nKim Boocha (Co-MoM)\n\n\nJorge Lacott- guest\n\n\nVoting Members (Novice/Founding Members):\n\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia “SIDMI”\n\n\nGuard Ian Ada Galaxy\n\n\nFather Malarkey Patri’Harkey\n\n\nSister Ivana Balls’o’Plenty \n\n\nBrother Canteer\n\n\nSister Spikes\n\n\nSister Cersei\n\n\nSister Cain Tuckee\n\n\nQuorum: 6/10\nOfficer Reports (Limit to 3 minutes per report - 15 min total)\nAbbess (President): \nStarted the meeting off with good news, healthy policy changes for the state of Virginia.

Talk about the remaining needs moving forward.\nBios was addressed, Guard Ian says they’ll guess whatever if members don’t submit as a playful but sincere warning.\nNora mentions all the needs are not just the checklist, it’s emotionally ready, happy to hear members are coming back out after struggles, ‘Feel like a house, operate by a house’, they’re proud of us and know we’ll get there.\nMalarkey mentions it feels like a last push, like the house is so close. Nora offers how common it is to have ‘push’ jitters and excitement.\nNora offers ‘Senior-itis’ as a vibe.\nAll sorts of jokes about ‘edging’ in relation to progressing in processes. \nEnd Old Business\nNew Business\nTina brings up PDOR on March 31st, will bring time and location once they’re confirmed.\nShould have a meeting in about a week, they’ll keep us informed.\nMalarkey announces they will be moving just before summer. There’s an intention to get a lot of work done before that happens. It’s emotional but they’re excited about a new chapter. They don’t want to leave the house. Missionary status is mentioned, as the possibility of remotely holding their current position insofar as they meet requirements of membership.\nAbbess expresses they regard Malarkey will always be a part of the house, that they’ve been a supportive, mediating member, referred to him as Switzerland, tries to see multiple angles of a story. Got in Malark’s feels. Consider’s Malarkey a founding member of the house, and will be there for him.\nSister Mary brings up their upcoming move with their partner. Offers their home and amenities. Expresses Malarkey has been there for them, and gratitude, it is returned in kind.\nSister Nora speaks to transfers in and out, P&Ps should detail this and other statuses, mentions meritas for someone moving to another state, in order to keep them as a participating member until they establish a new residency. Details letters of recommendation on transfers, and prior status, and it should come from MoNs. Personal note, offers a proud recommendation to the Boston house, and offers to be a source for any questions.\nUpcoming Events (Limit to 5 minutes per event)\nNighthawks and PAH will be combining for Valentines: Puppy Love\nEvery First Saturday of the Month- PAFU at Rainbow Cactus\nEvery Second Saturday of the Month- Night Hawks at MJs\nEvery Third Saturday of the Month- Bears at MJs\nEvery Fourth Saturday of the Month- Pets and Handlers at Rainbow Cactus\nOpen Discussion: (Limit to 15 minutes)\nGuard Ian states for record that the UNPC ‘s annual election meeting happened last month and that the Secretary from the Indianapolis house is retiring from their position, shared her operations and has taken on Ian as a trainee. Abbess says they love to hear it, reminds him of the support from the house is always available to him, we all want to see him succeed.\nTo touch on previous mentionings regarding statuses in new business Sacral points out Missionary status. Ofc jokes will ensue. Abbess considers that role more reserved, asks for Nora’s perspective, and Nora says that a novice used that status while there was a functioning house near to them at their new location. Nora finds it perfectly acceptable as Malarkey settles in their area to remain an active member of SCS, referencing a president set by the San Francisco house. Later they can complete their transfer. Multiple voices confer and agree. Abbess and Traci vibe about Hootenanny.\nNora reminds don’t fuck with; the money, another sister, or the community, sacred 3 rules, everything else in the P&Ps can bend to what makes the house work. Use the Missionary Position (instantly playfully regrets, jokes) if that works for  the member and the house.\nWhat is the harm to the house, if none, making things work is fine, and don’t lock yourself in missionary position only because “we want you much more creative than that. Thank you.”\nMalarkey asks if they could still serve the progress of the house if in Missionary Postion, Nora reminds of the existence of remote work, and you could manifest with Boston and get to know them while still a member of SCS. Abbess can suggest Malarkey can spy (in the most positive way) regarding conflict resolutions or projects, we stand to learn a lot with a human bridge.\nAbbess suggests we use Open Discussion and New Business as one vehicle. \nWonders if renaming it would work. Guard Ian offers insights on RRoO, that we can combine but keep separate, Malarkey suggests using “agenda items” as new business, then open discussion in the language.\nMalarkey mentions whether or not elevation can be revisited, possibly opened, brought up by Sister Mary who’s making the request for consideration. MoN expresses they’re ok with opening up elevations. Speaks with regards to eligibility, to be considered. Also says they were considering opening up membership, but thinks better until after P&Ps are done.\nAbbess feels they’re (P&Ps) done enough to open up membership to their thinking.\nMoN was just putting that out there. Restates reopening elevations, thinks we’re at a good spot.\nMalarkey agrees with Sacral, and speaks to their impression of Mary, and bigly supports that, however is not a fan of opening membership just yet. Speaks to the state of the world, and feels we aren’t active enough yet to bring more on board.\nAbbess motions to open elevations, case by case, pending House consideration.\nGuard Ian asks if we’re in closed session, and suggests this should be a convo for closed session. Moving to executive session.\nExecutive Session: (Limit to 10 minutes)\nPostulants, Aspirants, and Guest will be excused from the meeting for private discussion by Novices and FPM, details noted for House reference only\nAbbess opens session with prior motion, to open elevations on a firm case by case basis.\nSacral Seconds as they are case by case by nature but it’s important to say\nNone opposed\nNone abstained\nMotion passes\nNora encourages opening for discussion after reading the motion again in full as per RRoO.\nThere’s general discussion about the ass dragging in government and how Malarkey has a soul and might not be a good fit for politics for that reason.\nNora suggests opening up membership might be a good thing for the house where we are at, for fresh blood, and also about bending rules, most importantly an example where you don’t bend the rules. Say you have someone transferring from another city without a letter of recommendation, Nora firmly suggests that shouldn’t be a rule bent on. Guard who you let into the house, bend rules when it works and there’s no risk. Adhere strictly when there is possible risk.\nMalarkey feels like the family needs more bonding, and feels the process of coming on board should be a slow vetting, mentions how the updated draft of P&Ps do reflect that. Something he really supports. Reaffirms a feeling of needing solid what if policies in the P&Ps and guard against bad actors.\nMomma Nora concurs, but expresses the notion of minimums is a flexible position, and how it’s all up to the house, and refrain from passing with votes until someone is ready.\nThey insist on the use of the word: minimums\nAbbess mentions the current timeframes as per the P&P draft, citing a year and three months until FPS at minimum, and feels this time is sufficient, Nora touches again on the language; using minimum.\nAbbess expresses gratitude for the opinions expressed, and concurs, feeling member’s hearts are in the right place.\nAsks the meeting if it’s on the table, do they want to discuss opening membership.\nMoN expresses they see both sides, and could agree eitherway, so will lean with the board vote. Shares Malarkey’s concerns, and Nora’s points.\nAbbess reaffirms the language of case by case basis.MoN agrees with the idea that folks can lean to nice votes, instead of kind, and agrees we should speak our conscious into our votes.\nNora asks to note that this time last year if there was opposition in a vote there would be a meltdown of process, and remarks to how far the house has come since then, commending members. Excellent, excellent, excellent!\nAbbess points out the vote requirements and does the MATHS. Saying they put in safeguards to avoid coercion. Malarkey stresses if we open membership, speak up and appreciate your obligation to the house to speak your vote. We need information, and perspective, and please be careful.\nGuard Ian motions to open up membership, with the provisions we have in the elevation documents\nAbbess reads the motion to open membership according to the new elevation guidelines.\nAsks for discussion.\nMembers discuss\nBrother Canteer expresses previous hesitancy but is open to it\nCersei seconds\nGuard Ian offers the language; case by case.\nMoN reiterates membership is not solely predicated on interest, case by case for certain.\nMalarkey offers they could be swayed on vote if it’s amended this motion that we not advertise our open membership as recruitment.\nAbbess mentions the requirement for two sponsors for aspirancy, and assigned Big Siblings.\nBig Siblings serve the purpose of not only fostering aspirants but also to weigh and observe prospective members.\nNora mentions Aspirancy and Postulancy are the vetting period. Reminds they are provisional members and encourages that language in the P&Ps, that they can be removed simply with a majority vote. After Novice, excommunication is a deeper process required for removal from the house.\nAbbess reminds and reads the vote: To open membership, case by case, without advertising it as open recruitment\nNo discussion\nNo nays\nNo abstains\nMotion passes.\nMembers discuss how well this process went, and the gains in the house, echoing Momma Nora’s words previous.\nAbbess reiterates the above discussion, gives a summary;\nOpen membership, soft opening not openly advertise, but if CM expresses interest they will be welcomed pending the current vetting process, with two sponsors, assigned two mentors (BS),\nWith minimum timeframes, considered case by case, BS will weigh in with feedback/sponsors.\nYup, recorded, almost verbatim (lol)\n(Abbess’ phone “yeets itself” off of his steering wheel)\n(Abbess goes into graceful exclamations)\n(Malarkey cackles)\n(Abbess asks that dropping their phone be omitted from the minutes)\n(Abbess pulls rank, tries to make executive order)\n(Guard Ian encourages the comical dropping of the phone and abbess’ graceful sputtering be put into the minutes, speaks to hubris -nails emoji-)\n(Malarkey enters into Minutes. -snaps-)\nGuard Ian brings up that Jorge Lacott has been very present in our meetings, is suggesting they might be a good consideration for aspirancy, leaves it to MoN to consider reaching out, wants their thoughts. Abbess expresses interest in starting them off as a postulant.\nMoN speaks to CM showing interest, encourage them to come to meetings, that’s a great first step. Great filtering process, encourage them to interact with us when they see us Manifesting, that way we don’t have to advertise anything, potentials will show us what they’re about. Has zero issue with speaking to Jorge about being a Postulant. Recalls a discussion from when membership was closed that, case by case, we may consider someone for the house if they are a good fit. \nTraci hit the wrong button.\nMalarkey hit the wrong button too, but does have something to say. Not to nay say, but there are members in arrested development that we are considering elevating at their request, reminds to be kind and fair, not nice. Is concerned about how pushing a potential who hasn’t asked to join past aspirancy might impact those members. Not saying he’s generally opposed,and not opposed to counting their previous visits count for their elevation, but is really hesitant to do so at this time.\nMoN brings up the point that we don’t currently have any aspirants, the last one decided now wasn’t a good time with their schedule, life stuff.\nDiscussion about making exceptions and counting minimums, needs to be revisited, just to check the boxes. MoN will seek out Jorge and see how they feel about aspirancy or friendship with the sisters, to get a read. Willa will remain a friend of the sisters for now.\nAbbess suggest we go over and do check ins, tag team, see what tracks everyone is on and where they are at in their journeys, and how they want to proceed before we make any rash decisions. Come together, write up some ideas, likes Nora’s idea.\nWould like to utilize a family meeting to help with circumstance. Work on some FP vows, and other details.\n[Recording stops at 1:37:20]\nNext Meeting:\nSunday, Mar 8, 2026 12:00 PM (EDT)\\\nLGBT Life Center\\\n5360 Robin Hood Rd, Norfolk, VA 23513\nGoogle Meet joining info\\\nVideo call link: meet.google.com/bwv-yiti-pgm \\\nOr dial: ‪(US) +1 605-653-3151‬ PIN: ‪252 116 418‬# \\\nMore phone numbers: tel.meet/bwv-yiti-pgm \nAction Items\n**"},"Meeting-Minutes/2026-3-08---Monthly-Meeting":{"title":"2026-3-08 - Monthly Meeting","links":["tags/Meeting"],"tags":["Meeting"],"content":"Meeting \n**\nMeeting \nSeven City Sisters - Harbor of the Immaculate Harlots\nMission Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\nMonthly Meeting\\ \nMarch 8 at 12:00 PM (EDT)\\\nLGBT Life Center\\\n5360 Robin Hood Rd, Norfolk, VA 23513\nOfficers/Board\n\n\nPresident/Abbess\n\n\nSister Ivana Balls O’Plenty (John Hughes)\n\n\nVice President/Mistress of Novices\n\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia (Juan Carlos Estremera)\n\n\nSecretary/Master of Communications\n\n\nFather Malarkey (Bubba Rose)\n\n\nTreasurer/Master of Coins\n\n\nGuard Ian Ada Galaxy (Tim Riggs)\n\n\nBoard Member at Large\n\n\nBrother Canteer (Terry Lee)\n\n\nAttendance and Agenda\nMembership Roster / Attendance\nAspirants\n\nnone\n\nPostulants (Probationary Members)\n-Mike Mohr\nGuests:\n\n\nTraci Undercaffeinated (Mentor)\n\n\nSister Nora Torius (Co-MoM)\n\n\nVoting Members (Novice/Founding Members):\n\n\nSister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia “SIDMI”\n\n\nGuard Ian Ada Galaxy\n\n\nFather Malarkey Patri’Harkey\n\n\nSister Ivana Balls’o’Plenty \n\n\nBrother Canteer\n\n\nSister Cersei\n\n\nSister Tina Bortions\n\n\nQuorum: 7/10\nOfficer Reports (Limit to 3 minutes per report - 15 min total)\nAbbess (President): \nBooks are on the way, has final draft of coronet that they intend to pass on to sister nora, and working with nora’s ideas for other options, work in progress.\nNon-Violent com is at the life center this meeting\nWants to read a few chapters a month, and will go over them at each meeting, as it was requested of us.\nP&ps we need to set a date to get everyone on board with new draft, bring everything to the table and get it done, final push towards elevations.

MoN was excited he was interested for sure, and would like to put it to a vote.\nSister Mary piggybacks, met him when they were a postulant, thinks he’d be a good addition regardless of which path he chooses, guest or member, whichever track, considers him a positive presence.\nMalarkey feels good about Jorge too, looking forward to seeing what he does if he becomes a member, his track and how his creativity manifests itself as a sibling.\nMoN mentions pace being individual, 1000 percent feels so much more confident in this decision\nGuard Ian speaks to the dedication even while membership was closed, “it’s crazy”\nMoN “speaks volumes”\nAbbess encourages we start with Jorge on developing a resume, help him keep track of his own personal journey, assign them a big sibling with two sponsors to start, when you go to novice MoN assigns a third, so they experience multiple personalities.\nMoN agrees, and after this vote intends to go into one of the chats in slack and request who is willing to be a big sibling to Jorge, and from that get Jorge’s consent.\nWants to be responsible in assigning, if he chooses someone that doesn’t want to participate MoN would like to avoid that.\nSacral Motions, Mary seconds\nNo nays\nNo abstains\nMotion passes, congrats Jorge!!!!\nSister Mary’s first vote!\nMoN and Abbess discuss the need for Siblings to be present when they can.\nWants to see more manifestations like VA Leather, four members in face, five in total, felt empowering, amazing! The Sisters are Here. Encourages Manifestations, life gets in the way but try to make time. Especially with a new Posulant, if not for yourselves for the new kid on the block!\nAbbess makes a point that having an underling encourages folks to do more, for the sake of the sibling, mutually beneficial, MoN concurs.\nDoesn’t want to stunt potential.\nDiscuss reaching out to members who are a little absent. Life seems to be life-ing. Members discuss personal statuses, recent encounters, plans to comfort or guilt trip playfully where appropriate, want to see how they are, offer options and support.\nDiscuss current sabbatical statuses, and folks who might want to consider it.\nTraci asks about sabbatical in P&Ps, encouraging support over heavy handed rule suggestions.\nMoN clarifies on memory, but info tracks, inactive doesn’t immediately imply sabbatical, because it requires a request, whereas inactive is just not meeting minimum requirements.\nWe need to visit what it means post inactive.\nHow to become active status again is researched.

Every year there will be an official request moving forward but the organizers want our presence! We’ve had a presence the past few years. Their only request is MORE presence.

There’s discussion about being in face during the parade, Nora offers insight, consideration of having someone who is not novice level, Traci agrees. MoN offers to be present in face and vest, can speak to Howard but it would be wonderful to have representation there at the parade, if Howard prefers not then that’s fine, MoN suggests they can escort on and off safely. \nTraci mentions since Sacral has experience with the org, mentions S. Florida’s trusted organizations, ofc that would have to be voted on house as a whole.\nAbbess says it’s not just a safety aspect, ok with it but requests that if MoN cannot ride on the boat, partially cause they’ve been around (cleric) to speak for the Sisters, requesting interactions with press and others, but send formal requests to MoN and such. Cleric is on board with that, so Abbess is on board with the idea.\nNora touches on that as well, safety is always a concern, even if a full member wants to go alone to some event it would be a dispensation still, so this is like that.\n“Are you prepared to talk about the sisters.” \nAbbess then brings a motion, MoN try with Howard, Motion is for Dispensation for Cleric \nSacral seconds\nAny questions, any opposed, with no opposition motions passed.\nNora encourages us to learn about: A Sister started the information movement about the aids epidemic, Sister Florence Nightmare (Bobby Campbell), the aids posterboy (nationally known) on newsweek magazine.\nMalarkey requested Cleric’s paper for House Members to read.\nMalarkey recounts: Tom Charles assisted\nBlessings were fun, not a very busy night but we made a lot of cash!\nMoN says John (mjs)  was worried because of the price, but it went fine.\nAbbess said we played it up, fun names helped.

When Cleric gets dates Abbess will put it up to the house, will support in good faith and good conscience support this. \nBoth Cleric and Abbess mention general support and dignity not just within our alphabet community. \nMoN addresses Cleric about the suicide hotline, has mentioned they have utilized, seems heavy on wanting to get a police escort, getting a wellness check can go wrong. Mentions a private matter regarding someone they are familiar with, trying to ensure safety of a person of color, Cleric says only if they are in active danger of harming themselves or others is a “wellness check” required.\nMentions the legality of running a crisis line (Cleric)\nAbbess makes edict: willing to help, work, even with people they don’t get along with, and they can get house members on board but won’t force anyone\nIf things were to get to mudslinging we will disengage, politely excuse yourselves.\nMalarkey rambles about responsibility, community representation, mirrors to the community.\nAbbess puts this in a holding pattern pending investigation and information.\nBear night is on the 16th, requesting all clubs to participate. Malarkey needs to add to calendar, MoN adds that also on that night Dark Diva’s MoN is spotlight, Guard Ian mentions the community lunch that.

So that can happen, there are degrees, but in the past things in personal lives can reflect back on us at large.

We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty.\nSince our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment.\nWe use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.\nA long, long time ago, in 1976, far away in the land of Oz (Iowa), a convent of Roman Catholic nuns lent some retired habits to The Sugar Plum Fairies performing their version of The Sound of Music. One year later, one of our Founders Sister Vicious Power Hungry Bitch (Ken Bunch) moved to San Francisco (1977) and brought those habits to the streets of the Castro district…\n1979\nOn Easter Weekend, during the time of the “Castro Clone,” being extremely bored with the conformist atmosphere three men went out into the streets to challenge the world: Ken Bunch (Sister Vicious PHB), Fred Brungard (Sister Missionary Position) and Baruch Golden. They went in full, traditional habits through the streets of our city and down to the nude beach. One even carried a machine gun (for protection). They were met with shock and amazement, but captured everyone’s interest. Their next appearance was at a softball game where their pompon routine all but stole the show. In the fall of 1979, Sister Hysterectoria (Edmund Garron) and Reverend Mother (Bill Graham) went to the first International Faerie gathering and encountered even more men with the calling. Our 4 Founders, Sister Vicious PHB, Reverend Mother, Missionary Position and Hysterectoria-Agnes convened their friends, chose our name (The Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence) and composed our mission statement: to promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt.\n2022\nFast forward to the year 2022, retired member of the South Florida Sisters, John Hughes, began to express his wish to form a new house of SPI to serve the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. After multiple months of connecting with others in the area he was able to gather a group of close friends willing to take on the challenge and help form what will become The Seven Cities Sisters.\n2023\nIn keeping with the formation of the first house of SPI, our first meeting was help on Easter Sunday of the year 2023. This marked the beginning of the Seven City Sisters and our journey to aiding our community. With the help of the entire group, SCS offically filed for 5012c3 Non-Profit status on May 28th, 2023. Continuing to meet monthly, the Seven Cities Sisters recieved word that our organization was granted 501c3 status on Sep 1st, 2023. During the monthly meeting on July 29th the SCS officially listed its founding members as follows:\nTim Riggs  (Guard Ian Ada Galaxy)\nFaeryn Riggs (Sister Cain Tuckee)\nJohn Hughes  (Sister Ivana Balls O’Plenty)\nMichael Haynes (Sister Tina Bortions)\nSunny Haynes (Sister Sybil Rights)\nJuan Carlos Estremera (Sister Sacral Idgits DeMonica Influencia)\nJacob Dement (Sister Cecilia Upton Noella Thompson)\nJacob Murphy (Guardi Naw Just us)\nJonathan Perez (Sister Gloria Holes)\nRachael Hernandez (Guard eNefFGeee)\nThis group of people with many more to come continue the work of the original sisters and remain committed to bringing unification and joy to their community."},"index":{"title":"index","links":[],"tags":[],"content":""}}
