I wanted to give you all information about the progress with the KittyCats Co.Op. At this time the owners are getting set up in a better discussion platform to address all the efforts that they will be working on together. This will facilitate communications between them as they are all in different time zones and, regardless of these time frames, they will be able to communicate in a convenient way for all.
With that said, even though the Co.Op is still getting itself organized for future events, the Secondary Market owners have begun to make efforts to support one another with activities like these:
1. The Chateau Village is holding The October Harvest Festival with different activities, including display from many secondary markets, as well as auctions and a special Halloween Costume Party. If you haven't gone by, do so, and take a look at the beautiful displays and decorations Secondary Markets have on display, most with free gifties as well! This Festival is running since October 1st through October 31st. Go by and show your support as well!

2. Collaboration auctions are happening with auctioneers from different markets aiding one another. We can already see the support given between market to market. I will try to put together a list of collaboration auctions going on and list it under the Auctions area for easy access to everyone. 
3. New markets have been born, for example Julia Merosi's FelineS KittyCatS, with amazing features and offers, make sure to pass by to support this new Secondary Market! They also offer new auctions! Let's show Julia some love!!

And well, that is just to mention a few things that are happening and are worth mentioning. In respect to the Advertisements in groups, nothing is yet concrete until the Secondary Market owners make a decision on how to do this without overloading everyone in spam!! However, the idea of a single special Co.Op group for advertising KittyCatS! exclusively and from all the markets involved sounds like an idea the will take to the table to consider. :-) Thanks for bringing up that point!
Once again, the Co.Op is still in the organization phase, but this has not stopped markets from starting efforts to support one another. As part of the community, lets also support them!!
Love,
Ruby
OK IM SORRY THE OWNERS??????????????????
A Co-op is owned BY ALL OF THEM! I do not see that happening here! To tell us that the owners which by looking at the group owners of record is the original group of "FRIENDS" that all worked together prior to this so called co-op being formed!
There is also not ONE good form of communication at all! there is not all of the information that is being discussed that impacts all of the co-op being handed out in the group or even to all of the members of the co-op individually!
I ask that all of the members of the KittyCats Co.Op get on the google group for it so we can at least get the information easily within the group and can keep up on it whether we can get in sl or not.
HOWEVER that does not take away from the fact that every time I ask about something in particular I have to ask one person in particular and that the only people in "charge" of a group that is supposed to be a cooperative where everyone owns it and has some say is down to ONE person! People are put in charge of events that were also decided for us prior to even being brought to the group as a whole.
While I want to bring a good environment to my renters and do my best to work with others to get more exposure I am VERY hesitant to put all my eggs on this one co-op when it seems as it is in name only. You want a marketing group where only one person is in charge fine but DON'T call it a cooperative. I will gladly support it in that manner but I will most definitely also be looking for like minded people to start a true cooperative.
