Welcome, everyone! Thank you for taking the step to help our people forge a brighter future.

Welcome @Ryan - IN !

Welcome!

Reminder, tomorrow at 8 PM Eastern we will be doing new member orientation.

I’ve got one of three new members in here, what do the other two need to do to get in this channel?

Well we just implemented the program as of yesterday, so folks before that are going to have the normal Member role. @Conway - OK

Everyone please welcome @giovannidannato!

Welcome!

Hello sir! @giovannidannato

We're going to get started in three minutes. This is a good chance to knock out your orientation requirement and become a full IE member.

Also, please make sure that you all have avatars set.

Am I in the correct place for orientation?

Nevermind I see that I am.

Lost it at "live in a barn and have nothing to lose" 😂

Those guys were not in IE just FYI.

Attended

Attended

Absolutely fantastic to know just how professional we are expected to be! I love this.

PROUDLY attended!!!!

Hey some I got here late, what do I need to do to pledge? I think at about Guideline 5 is when I got here. What did Mr. Patrick cover before the guideline coverage? Should I go ahead and attend next month's pledge session as well?

I have never been SO proud to be a part of something!

Hey so*

I think it was 7:40pm 😦

Had trouble getting in on national discord but someone helped me out.

Are we able to ask questions here?

@budjiman yep! Tag @Reinhard Wolff

I can't seem to tag him. What could I be doing wrong?

@budjiman write an `@` symbol and then start typing `P` `a` `t`... it should show up

It keeps automatically changing to Steve Bennet . Haha. I'm such a noob

@budjiman yes that's him 😆

Ohhhhh. Hahaha

@budjiman Steve Bennet is Patrick's Discord name

haha I forgot about that, it's because of the way Discord works with base names and nicknames

@Reinhard Wolff would it be inappropriate to wear IE merchandise outside of activism and meet ups?

Thank you @ThisIsChris

You're welcome! @budjiman
