Part of the
beliefs and objectives
of Elysium Gates web hosting services is to promote, acknowledge and
support volunteerism. Every area of Elysium Gates has
opportunities for people to volunteer, reach out and connect with
others. In the Emporium, the
area that hosts small businesses, individual entrepreneurs and cottage
industries, there are three main types of volunteers: Muse,
Oracle and Torch Bearer.
Read about them below and consider
volunteering yourself!
Each area of Elysium
Gates. Inc. has a Muse that coordinates the activities and volunteers
of that area. Muses are primarily responsible
for generating contests,
awards,
and activities to promote the Area's
Charitable
Project. Muses are great organizers and
instigators. If
you have an idea that needs to be put in action they are the volunteers
to contact.
Muse Prosperia
is unique to Emporium as
there was no such Muse in classical Greek literature. Since
Emporium
is the area for wonderful business sites that are becoming more and
more prosperous,
it seemed appropriate to name the muse, "Prosperia." Also in
the
interest of being fair, we made this muse appear male.
If you wish to be a Muse, or
if
you have a great idea, or are in need of a Muse's help, e-mail Lady
Kythera Ann who is the coordinator of the Muses.
Emporium
has two oracles, one each for the god and goddess of the area. Oracles
are the primary support team for area residents. They are pleased to
help
you with your site and answer any question you may have. They will work
to resolve any problems that might arise in regards to your site. If
they
don't have the answer they know who to contact! Oracles also help with
the various activities of the area and administrate the web ring. You
can
always ask a question or say hi to your Oracles on the Elysium Gates
Forum.
The god of
Emporium is Plutus. Traditionally
he was the god of wealth. Since Emporium members are interested in
increasing their income through their web sites was pleased to reside
here. His Oracle is the
"Oracle of the God Plutus."
The goddess of
Emporium is Tyche. Traditionally she was the goddess of fortune and
chance, and then of prosperity. She was a very popular goddess and
several Greek cities choose her as their protector. Since modern
cities just don't seem to ask for her services as often as before she
jumped at the chance to be here at Emporium where she will be
appreciated. Her Oracle is the "Oracle of the Goddess Tyche."
If you wish to
be an Oracle, if
you have a question or are
in need of an Oracle's help, e-mail Pegasus.
Emporium's
Torch Bearer helps people find
things throughout Emporium and Elysium Gates. They are the
guide
for a new member's orientation to this realm. They also
encourage
everyone to participate in our many activities. Torch
Bearer's seem
to know everybody, they are great net workers. If you
schmooze
with
our Torch Bearers you too will soon know a great many people at Elysium
Gates.
If you wish to
be a Torch Bearer,
if you are lost or in need of
a Torch Bearer's help, e-mail the Goddess
Pandia who is the coordinator of the Torch Bearers.
