But first!!
But before next Sunday’s meeting, we’re starting what will hopefully continue a couple times a month — for now the first and third Monday — a very informal get together at the Just Genealogy Fire Pit, to answer questions about SecondLife and help new folks get more comfortable in the virtual world. We’ve all been newbies at one time! Everyone is welcome to attend and we’ll try to cover some of the basics as needed, depending on the needs and questions of the attendees. Sign up for a free account, sign in and head on over to the Just Genealogy Fire Pit. You can teleport there by either using the Search option, or use this link – http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wollah/48/82/68
Hope to see y’all there!!
