A few days ago those of us in the blogging community … yes we’re all one happy family … found ourselves dumped from the Fantasy Faire group. This was due to some spring cleaning for this year’s event and a group notice was sent but I know from talking to some people that, for one reason or another, the group notice wasn’t received by all. However there was nothing malicious going on here.

Now a call for bloggers has been sent out for this year’s event which runs from April 20th – 28th and you have until April 5th to apply, which you can do by going here.

RELAY FOR LIFE KICKOFF

The 2013 Relay For Life of Second Life season is ready to launch. On Saturday, March 9, 2013, at 10am SLT, the Relay For Life Kickoff Celebration will be held on 4 special “kickoff” regions bordering the American Cancer Society Island.

More than 107 teams have pre-registered to participate in this year’s Relay For Life fundraising season in Second Life, but there is plenty of room for more. Anyone who has registered, or is interested in registering a team is encouraged to attend the Kickoff Celebration to learn more about this year’s Relay For Life season. If you are interested in learning more, contact Gem Sunkiller inworld, or you can join the Relay For Life Volunteers Group, or you can visit Relay For Life of Second Life.

The 2013 Relay For Life of Second Life theme matches that of the American Cancer Society’s 2013 campaign: Celebrating 100 Years of Hope.

“2013 marks the 100th birthday of the American Cancer Society. Our teams voted last year to use this as an opportunity to align with the organization to celebrate the many successes that we’ve had over the last 100 years of fighting cancer…and to re-commit ourselves to doing as much as we can to finish the fight,” says Stingray Raymaker, American Cancer Society Manager of Digital Platforms.

Dwarfins At RFL One Of A Kind Breedable Auction

I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned Dwarfins before, I may have talked of their drinking of mead and bawdiness, I may have mentioned that they’ve escaped their cave, I may have mentioned that two of the creators were interviewed by Prim Perfect … but besides that I’ve hardly said a word about Dwarfins and I currently have eleven of them on the go, ten purchased and one born! However, besides that I haven’t talked much about them, it’s not like I’m addicted or anything like that!

Anyway, Dwarfins are at the Xmas Expo, which is a promotion for Relay For Life and therefore a good cause. Dwarfins will be participating in the one of a kind breedables auction, and I’m going to bring you details of that tonight! Hurrah! Here’s an edited copy of the inworld notecard:

Dwarfins are so excited to be donating two one of a kind Dwarfins for the OOAK Breedables Auction. These Dwarfins will be auctioned separately.
