Announcement: 2021 Relay Season Theme Chosen

We had some great theme options, and I truly feel that any of them would have made for a wonderful Relay season. But, since we can only have one theme at a time, you all voted and the theme earning the most votes is:

A Cure! For A Happy Ending!

I can't wait to see the whimsical adventure that you all create along the track next year as you interpret fairy tales and nursery rhymes.

Stay tuned for info on how you can submit your artwork for theme-logo consideration.

RFL Team Sunbeamers Reach 400K, Win Campsite Award

With the Relay Weekend over, the various teams have much to cheer about. This includes Team Sunbeamers, whom while it took a month to go from 250K to 300,000 Linden dollars, raised, the Weekend event provided a big boost. The campsite kiosk alone took in 86K, bringing the team total to 410,000 Linden dollars. While a milestone in itself, the team hopes to make one more: Jade level.

Sunnies:  If you can donate, please do, time is running out for this year's RFL, RELAY WEEKEND is almost over and time to collect and count donations is fast approaching an end, for this year.  I would love to reach JADE Level, but can't do it without your support and help.  Please donate to any SUNBEAMER Kiosk, as much as you can, so we can reach thew 500,000L level and make JADE!

Yours truly is also offering a "Jade Avatar Challenge," going green for a week (except when doing interviews, or anything else obviously Newser related).

Other teams also have much to crow about. Among them is the newcomer first year team "Camping for a Cure" which has raised almost two million Lindens and put itself in the number three spot in the team totals page.

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!

RFL: "Fools For a Cure"

On Friday April 1, while people in Second Life and real life were pulling April Fools jokes on one another, a Relay for Life event was hosted by the Circle of Life team in the Tol Galen sim, the "Fools for a Cure" Carnival.




Join carnival host Fleure Homewood for a rolicking good time with games, rides and live music! The carnival will benefit the American Cancer Society as part of the Circle of Life Relay for Life team of Elf Circle. Come have fun and contribute to a good cause!


Porting in, there were a number of people at the live music event, either dancing away, or sitting down on the seats. The avatars were mostly humans and elves. Not everyone was near the music stage. A few were checking out some of the sights and rides. The rides included a ferris wheel and a haunted house.

The party went on all day from 4 AM to 10 PM SL time.
