Three Year Celebration of CommonGround Networking Party!

Wow! Three years of amazing support, networking, and team building which has been one of my most favorite accomplishments in Second Life. Ethelred and I have been co-hosts of this community event, but there is a whole team of supporters that make it happen every month and more join us each time around. Just so grateful and thrilled to have the opportunity to create party themes that people enjoy and create connections via colors and common experiences. Thank you all so very much!

Please join us for a Nonprofit Commons Community Celebration at CommonGround at Aloft Nonprofit Commons with the Return of Ricken Flow as our amazing DJ!

Our party theme is “Summer of Love – Tie Dyes and Togetherness” and our theme colors are stunning rainbows and 60′s inspired hues! Dress up and join the party!

What is CommonGround? It is more than a party!

Enjoy networking and dancing among other nonprofits and supporters! Learn more about what nonprofits, educators, humanitarians, scientists, and artists accomplish in Second Life at the Nonprofit Commons at this fun and informative event.

CommonGround is a monthly event that is a special community celebration which is color themed and full of energy on the first Thursday of the month from 5 to 7 PM SLT!

The location of the party is here : http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aloft%20Nonprofit%20Commons/64/78/25 .  See you there!

Par’s Rez Day

Happy Rez Day to Par! At Common Ground, we celebrated Par’s 2nd Rez Day. He is an excellent volunteer for the Nonprofit Commons and fine builder who is happy to share his talent and tales. Our color theme was Black which was perfect for Par! Ricken was amazing as always as our DJ for the night and played all of my song requests! It was a lovely evening and I even felt lovely in black. Wacky, but true.

Grayscale – Common Ground @ NPC

Common Ground @ NPC

Looking over the party set up. Planning and launching a new networking event at Plush Nonprofit Commons has been rewarding and a great learning experience. Several people have been super helpful in the building of the “Party Plaza”, getting the word out, and preparing the music stream. We intend to host this event every Thursday night at 7 PM SLT with a different color theme each week. Our grand opening is September 18 and we have been practicing each week to iron out the kinks. Come dancing!

Sewing

I went to a Black and White Party at Freda’s today. I thought I would help with some sewing!
