We had some discussion about what fits and doesn't fit between the communities. We will continue discussions and citizens are encouraged to attend CDS events and get to know the people. We will invite CDS to AA events as well.

Draxtor continues to operate his studio from Almunecar and Marino is developing Sacromonte. Garnata is empty at this time, so we will move some light recreational activities there including fishing and horses. for now. Request to add the open spaces to the non profit still pending.
Thanks to everyone for supporting the Grand Tour Event... we had a lot of new people and compliments for the sims. Rose also did two interviews as a direct result of our participation.
