Agenda/Notes

1. Updates on
   • Food Safety
   • Financial Crisis
   • Family Caregiving
   • Turf Grass
   • Pest Management
     • Do you have a self-directed tour of SL showing the CES highlights? There are segways to ride in SL that give a tour of the Extension highlights there.
2. Community building
   • Facebook Cooperative Extension Second Life 148 members
   • in SL Cooperative Extension 150 members
   • Ideas for more activity:
     • Perhaps have a "movie night" - Kevin will try to get permission from copyright holder.
     • Hold "Open House" when there is a new build on Morrill, and give tour.
     • Do an update "Fair" like last year's launch Fair - One Year Anniversary event
     • SL Reality night at ACE/NETC Conference 2009
3. Teen Second Life
4. ACE Leadership Institute
   • talked about not holding one at all next year due to travel costs, or doing something online
   • Kevin suggested Second Life rather than async or web conferencing as substitutes
5. Thynka Little (LuAnn) is willing to help anyone getting oriented in SL!
