Fadm's 8th Birthday Party

After weeks of searching for the appropriate outfit, it was time to dust off that lycra, slip into some PVC and don that cape because last Saturday the Fadm's theme superhero party burst its way into the Roddenberry centre.

For her 8th Secondlife birthday the Fleet Admiral thought it would be a good idea if we all dressed up as superheros or villains. A fantastic street set was created by Jailan Resident and we all piled in at 1pm SLT. On show were members in a variety of comic book characters from spider-man to batgirl, superman to wonder woman all grooving to music. Super heroes boogieing down to the latest beats  has to be seen to be believed.

To also add a bit of variety a quiz was held with questions compiled by Sophie Johnson (Hydregion resident) and a prize of l$10 for every correct answer, since there were quite a few questions i'm sure some smarty pants earned enough to make a taxman give them a second look.

In addition the Fadm asked some of the guest to stand on a pose stand and explain why they chose the costumes they did. I'me sure "I make this outfit look good" must of come up a lot of times.

One feature which was being trialed was using Google+ Events to not only just invite members of the group but also had the ability to allow them to easily add pictures from the event which could be access by anyone who had an event invite, which is a nice way of logging what happens as it happens and we hope to trial this further at a later data with other events and activities.

Thanks for those who came and we hoped they all had a great time.

As it's a themed event guests are encouraged to detach those combadges and come dressed as the super hero of your own choosing. Who are you going to pick, superman, spiderman, other names with man in it or batgirl, catwoman, wonder woman or any other name which makes it clear your female.

Whoever you choose, slip into your lycra or PVC and come down to the Roddenberry Centre to join the festivities and wish the Fadm a happy birthday.

New poster site has gone up in the sandbox to help promote the event using a bigger size of poster on an automatic shape resizing system meaning the site reshapes itself to the size of the poster, Richardjrn Weatherwax was the creator of the poster technology while snapper Desade created the poster graphics which more reflect members and uses real SL content for the graphics.

Relay for life

Relay for life

Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society's fundraising activity (RFL) is a charity which offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.

The American Cancer Society's real world Relay for Life began in Tacoma, Washington in May 1985.

Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon, decided to personally raise money for his local American Cancer Society office and show support for his patients by doing something he enjoyed – running marathons.

Relay for Life in Second Life is an annual event; volunteers form or join teams to have fun while fundraising and raising awareness from mid-March through mid-July.

In 2010, Relay for Life in Second Life raised over $222,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Relay for Life has become an international movement in RL and in SL. In 2010 participants 

from over 30 countries took part in Relay for Life 

of Second Life.

Our party organiser Eric Silvercloud    

The GFC participated by holding events round the pips and with a guest speaker for RFL talking about the good work the charity was about in the academy on Saturday night.

Friday had four winners sharing a 300 lindens pot each getting 75 lindens. Our resident dj on Friday was dj Falo Preistman.
