| The Greeters group is designed to serve Elf Clan in several ways: |

| 6. Guiding the group itself in proper conduct. |
| 7. Moderating the lands and (where necessary) enforcing the Elf Clan Charter |

| PRESENCE |
Greeters don't have to be on Elf Clan lands all the time.... but often enough to be seen and
recognized as regular members. It's OK to go to events elsewhere and shop and have fun... but
above all, Greeters love Elf Clan. If Elf Clan is your main stomping ground and if like Elf Clan lands
better than just about anywhere, likely you'll make a fine Greeter. : ) |
| |
| |
| GREETERS ARE NOT A POLICE FORCE |
Our main purpose is to make newcomers feel welcome. Friendliness is the Greeters #1 tool. Your
primary duty as a Greeter is to make people feel immediately welcome and at home in Elf Clan
lands. That has always been the main function of our group and always will be. |
| |
There are many ways to do this. Inuchan the Dragon was known for spending hours sitting outside
the Castle or in Sandbox, just watching over the lands, saying hello to new arrivals and answering
questions. If you see a new person on the lands, by all means walk up and welcome them to the
islands. Feel free to extend to them an invitation to join Elf Clan. Help them to feel comfortable.
Point them to our website and the Charter documents. Show them where the TOUR document
is (in the main castle). Make them feel welcome and part of the family. : ) |
| |
| |
| INVITING PEOPLE TO JOIN THE GROUP |
| 1. It notifies them of group events |
| 2. It provides them with unlimited sandbox use |
| 3. It makes them feel part of our community. |
| |

| |
| NOTICES |
While Greeters may send out group notices, it should be reserved for times of import such as
Events. Please do not send out spam notices, notices from other groups, or of things not of direct
application to Elf Clan. If you're unsure, contact an Eldar. |
| |
| It's ok to send out a notice regarding an event: |
* Send it out just a few hours prior to the event. Too long-- and people forget about it. Remember
you can POST the event any time you like-- thus informing Elf Clan the event is coming. |
| * Complex events (such as a fair or an all-day event) of may require more than one group notice. |
| * Any questions-- contact an Eldar. |
