I mentioned casually about some kind of welcoming committee with a "feast" for sort of an intro to the tree so newcomers can gather up and get some CR, though not really sure if it's feasible + something people want to do.

Especially since Rin wouldn't really be the best at welcoming others mostly because she's blunt. If this is something people want, I can have her push for it ICly and get people together? Otherwise someone else is totally free to run with this idea that would be more suited for the role.
