[12:01] Tigermeat Aphrodite: Welcome to Safe Waters Foundation weekly aquatic support gathering. My name is Tigermeat! Blogger, model, sea-them, and photographer! I will be leading today’s meeting in Mirandas temporary absence, that being said, we will be able to keep the same schedule and meeting as always! ???
[12:01] Tigermeat Aphrodite: Welcome new and old aquatics and friends!
[12:01] L??? M???? I?f????™ ?????? (lunabadd.witch): ??
[12:01] Tigermeat Aphrodite: As you may well know Safe waters foundation (SWF) is a not-for-profit group supporting the development of harmony and safety for merfolk and aquatics of second life, we bring together designers, retailers, sims, merrow, mermen, mermaids, siren, aquatics and lovers of same.
[12:02] Tigermeat Aphrodite: Mers come in and out during the meeting. Please don’t be offended but as leader I will try to keep the meeting going. We don’t repeat things for latecomers – a log is posted on our blog after the meeting so you won’t miss it! This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. We all help each other slive an aquatic lifestyle. ??
[12:02] Tigermeat Aphrodite: Because we usually have good attendance – please take a moment to remove all extra attachments and huds. We’d like you to dress low lag. Big poofy hair and jewelry are big culprits, as are bubbles, script things, huds, and such. If we all cooperate, more merfolk can participate with less crashing. Thank you for your help with this. ??

Remember our SWF goals:
- to assist those considering an underwater life
- to increase awareness in the general public that there is an underwater option
- to make mer resources (events, projects, groups, retailers, sims, designers) visible and easily accessible
- to assist, as possible, with the viability of mer resources so they may continue to be available to the community
- to promote the conservation of rl oceans, lakes and waterways and the nature that relies on them
