Safe Waters Foundation Meeting

This weekend, I dropped by a meeting of the Safe Waters Foundation. This is a group promoting merfolk and other residents who prefer aquatic avatars, and their communities. They also promote underwater exploration and well-designed underwater areas, as well as real-life ocean conservation. They have a meeting every Saturday at 10AM to discuss matters. 

There were a number of mermaids and mermen there of various appearances, talking about various projects. One was the TCS, "its a craft/trade/rp system that allows you to trade goods with other mers or landers. You can harvest and create things." Something else that got my attention was one little tiny merkitty in a big hat almost as large as the avatar. 

Thankfully no dogfish to chase her around.

Safe Waters Foundation Meeting

 

Last week, I dropped in on a meeting of the Safe Waters Foundation. Run by Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth), the organization aims to help out those whom prefer mermaid and merman avatars (or use them part of the time), such as allowing them to point out to one another events and places where they fit right in.  They also have a couple meetings a week to discuss various things. One is Wednesday at 4:30PM SL time. The other is Saturdays from 10 to 11 AM SL time.

Among the subjects talked about were the upcoming Fantasy Faire, "Start preparing and saving your Linden," a writing competition, a mer-dance that weekend, the Firestorm viewer, a photography contest that ends on March 31 (pictures have to be taken at the SWF HQ, posted on the group Flickr page, and some other rules), and some discussion about the organization itself in the near future. 

For those looking for more information about the group, check out their webpage: http://www.goldmermaid.com/SWF/ . They also hold some Relay events, so one may run across some merfolk in one.
