Lab: Awaiting assignment

In the planning process for a private site for regular Mull Safe and Sound members, to feature calander of upcoming events, any notes or announcements by the board members, private one to one chat and group chat, signup will not be available to the general public and I will need to set up accounts manually to ensure privacy, only regular Mull Safe and Sound members and board members will be able to sigh in to their "Purpose Bunny" accounts, I used a soft but professional font, with a nice realxing green color, that says it's a soft site but still built professionaly and for the logo and mascot I chose a cute little bunny also called Purpose, I will be using the cuurent available Authentication system I have built, Sentry Web Authentication System version 3.8.2.1 latest build integrated in.
