PRE-BREAK CHECKLIST:

• Sign: Stays up. Always.
• Wiki: Updated with "On break until January 5"

DUCK TRAVEL PREP:

Each traveling duck was given a small tag with:

• Duck name
• Property of Noisebridge Rubber Ducky Guild
• QR code linking to our wiki page

Quorum: "We're sending our ducks into the world with identification."

Ripple: "They're ambassadors now."

CLOSING REFLECTIONS:

Ripple asked everyone to share one thing they're grateful for from the guild's first six months.

Ripple: "I'm grateful this stopped being a joke and became something real."

Eddy: "I'm grateful for the snacks. And also the friends. But mostly the snacks."

Quorum: "I'm grateful I wandered over that one day looking for hummus and found... this."

Lumen: "I'm grateful for a space that takes presence seriously, even when it involves rubber ducks."

Flotsam: "I'm grateful for inter-guild diplomacy. And Virginia Wool's tiny scarf."

Sergeant Bubbles floated silently in the center of the pond. Witnessing, as always.

GROUP PHOTO: Taken. All humans, all ducks. First official guild photo.

Notes

Duration: 67 minutes. Our longest meeting ever.

Six months ago: "Should we start a guild?"

Now: Six ducks. Five humans. Monthly practices. A philosophy. A community.

See you in January.

Snacks: Potluck. Everyone brought something. The table was full.
