RE: Community Integration – Q1 2026
Per Resolution 2025-48, the Council has approved expanded community integration efforts for Q1 2026. Members are encouraged to maintain visible presence in Brisbane civic life.
Several 2026 prospects have been observed at library programs. Jerry continues observation of the San Benito Heights corridor. Members encountering prospects in public settings should maintain passive engagement per Protocol C.
The annual Star Lighting tradition provides additional integration opportunities. Members are encouraged to participate in neighborhood activities during the holiday season while maintaining appropriate discretion.

RE: Discretion Reminder – Online Presence
Members are reminded that the Lineage maintains a policy of minimal digital footprint. The following guidelines apply:
- Do not discuss Lineage matters on social media platforms
- Do not photograph or record gatherings without explicit Council approval
- Do not acknowledge the existence of this website or related materials to non-members
- If contacted by journalists or researchers, provide no comment and notify your district Steward
Recent inquiries suggest renewed external interest in our community. This is not cause for alarm, but does warrant heightened awareness. The Lineage has weathered such attention before and will continue to do so through the practice of measured discretion.
"Visibility is not virtue. The star guides those who know to look."
