Second Life’s 6th Birthday Celebration (SL6B):
Zinnia Zauber reports that the NPC exhibit she applied for was accepted. Called Nonprofit Commons – Common Good – Common Goals – Common Ground. The intent of this exhibit for SL6B is to share how socializing can initiate action for social causes and challenge social change that is for the better.
One way that the Nonprofit Commons encourages networking between nonprofits and supporters is through weekly social events. The exhibit will be a festive place full of dancing, information about the different NPOs that make the Nonprofit Commons their home, and display how virtual worlds connect us beyond our screens, but into our collective lives. Actively paricipating is your way of being part of this great showcase of what Second Life has to offer. If you would like your organization to be promoted at this exhibit, please send me, ZInnia Zauber, a folder with your org’s name on it that includes the following with FULL permissions: Logo Texture, Photo of you in your Org’s place in SL, Notecard about Org Website, Links to videos about your Org.
Nany Kayo reports that virtual Native Lands will have an exhibit. Janlyssa Serenity says they will be exhibiting.
Event is in June. General info at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Second_Life_6th_Birthday
