RFL Season Total Passes $300K USD, Relay Sims Get Extension

Wednesday June 10 saw a certain tradition of the Relay sims following the Relay Weekend, the "Flood Party." While it was going on, there were two announcements. Shortly after 6PM SL time, it was revealed that the total amount of cash raised had passed 75 million Lindens, or $300,000 US dollars.

Just as the flood party was getting started, word was getting around about another development. While it wasn't officially announced, it appears the Lindens will let the sims stay up a little longer. Unfortunately, a few teams had already taken down their camps. So if you still want to see the sights, take care of it now.

There are still a few Relay events left. The Volunteer Banquet is at Saturday June 13 at 10 AM. And the following week is the Royal Ascot at Saturday June 20 at 1 PM. And after that, the Relay Wrap-Up.

"And That's it for Extend a Helping Hand!"

Yay! I was able to go to the bank today and make the final donation. Here's a full post about it, complete with pictures of the receipts:

The total amount donated was AU$8350, rounded up from the AU$8,337.03, which is what the money raised converted to once it was changed from US currency.

To have a look at the currency conversion process (and get transaction history/money coming out of SL/etc), you can check out this post:

Phew! And that's it for EaHH!

Thank you everyone, for making Extend a Helping Hand a memorable and incredibly helpful event in raising money for the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal. From the people who took part as vendors, through to artists, musicians, independent event organizers, donors, participants and attendees, this amount could not have been raised if it were not for all of you.

With warmest regards and incredible thanks,
