How do I host a Market?
It's easy!  There is now a new section at the QCC site under Trade for Market Hosting FAQ's

**With the number of new houses and individuals growing every day, it has become necessary to ask people attending markets to declare their affiliation so that market attendance checks are issued to the right places.  If you are hosting a market, it would make your job easier if you encourage those attending to comply with this request.

MERCHANT SPOTLIGHT

Welcome to the Quest Coin Coalition's new Monthly Merchant Spotlight!  Each month we will be choosing a different shop to feature here, hopefully so that each of you can learn more about the many interesting and diverse shops available in the QCC.  Our first shop spotlight is one of the fine businesses of the Shadow Guardians of Destiny,

Guardian Mountain Needlework .

We interviewed the proprietor and order taker, Des Sunhaven-Hayll and asked her a few questions about the business recently:

 
Rae:  ::Gets out her pad of paper:: You are the Lady Des Sunhaven-Hayll, and are the owner of Guardian Mountain Needlework, correct?

Des:  ::very warily, slow nod:: Aye

Rae:  Wonderful! Could you please tell this Questcoin Reporter about Guardian Mountain Needlework and its stock?  What guides you to choose the items which are presented for sale? What led you to the idea of opening the shop?

Des:    The items offered for sale are created upon the Mountain, to a large degree.  I provide materials and instruction, the wives and mothers of the tenants on the Mountain produce the work.  They are free to create what they wish, and I pay them for their labor.  The idea for a shop came as I was looking for a way to supplement the income of my tenants.

Rae: ::She smiled brightly::  A noble endeavor, and wonderful results, as I have seen for myself.  Could you tell me what items might be coming in to the shop in the near future? A sort of preview of what we can expect for the holiday season perhaps?

Des:  Tis up to them...  Although I do believe some are starting some winter scenes.  ::with a shrug and smile::  Many hours go into each piece.

Rae:  The care is definitely shown in each piece.  Time given to a project lovingly crafted is something that no true price can be put on.  Thank you for your time, and kindness with this reporter's questions.
 
We hope that this small article was a pleasant introduction to Guardian Mountain Needlework, and our Merchant Spotlight.  If you have any questions about our spotlight, please contact the Council or Rae Bonatti.

ABOUT OUR MAILSTRINGS

QCC Voluntary Mailstring

This mailing list is made up of QCC members who have consented to be on it. The purpose of this list is to allow business announcements and flyers to be sent to those groups and individuals that welcome the information and intend to distribute it to their members. This mailing list does not replace any mailing lists compiled by individual businesses or event hosts from their own patrons and customers.

Being a member of the QCC does not automatically put you on this list! It is by request only. Sign yourself up if you want to receive Voluntary mailings.

Mail List Alert

If you receive mail list alerts for any of the QCC mail lists, please forward them to council@questcoin.com. Sometimes when we are updating the mail lists, an SN gets put back into the signup list. That auto-generates a privacy alert that gets mailed to you. If you'll forward those alerts to the council, we'll know you got it. It was most likely triggered by something we did; but if we didn't do it, we'll certainly want to know. :)

QCC Member Mail List

With the ease of use afforded by the web based QCC Member List, the Council has decided to open the list up to all QCC members. Up until now, we restricted it to GCs and treasurers because of the constraints put on us by AOL's mail system rate limits. Taking the mail list away from AOL has been just one more step in freeing the QCC from such constraints.

Any QCC members who wish to be on the QCC Members' Mail List to receive QCC Updates directly from the Council should send a note to council@questcoin.com to be added to the list. This does not take the place of the Voluntary Mail List. Sign-up for the Voluntary Mail List is still self service and you'll find the sign-up page here:
QCC Voluntary Mailstring

**Mail List Notes: We don't care if the addresses on the mail lists are for RP characters or not. If you have AIM characters and you want to put a non-RP address on the mail lists to get the QCC notices, that's fine with us.
