New Automated Point System
We have installed a new automated point system. Here is how it works. Instead of tickets expiring at the end of the month, and the slate being wiped clean, each ticket has a 30-day life. This means if you got a ticket on March 27th it would last till April 26th. The same 30-day period would apply to suspensions. If you were suspended once before during a 30-day period, your second suspension would double the time out. This will stop members from saving up their points and gaming the system at the end of the month. You'll be able to see where you stand, just as you do now, so that everything is transparent.

Ostara - March 19th
By: Veronica • Wiccan • 147 comments • 2 weeks agohttps://www.bpl.org Very early this year. The Spring Equinox is Ostara. The beginning of spring. Flowers are pushing through the cold ground to show us their beautiful colors. Ostara marks the Spring Equinox, which happens between March 19 -23. Ostara is a pagan celebration of the German goddess Eostre and the origins of the Christian celebration of Easter. As the beginning of spring Ostara is a good time to literally and figuratively plant seeds for the future. https://www.mabonhouse.co/ostara I do begin my seedlings inside using cardboard egg cartons.
