Dee & Sherlock to Host Halloween Party!

October 24, 2016 / Admin

Once again, our friends Dee Dee and Sherlock Aedipo will host the annual Halloween dance!

WHEN: Tuesday, October 25, 2015
TIME: 5:30 p.m. SLT (same as Pacific)
WHERE: Sherlockville – Fircairnlow

Dee & Sherlock have enjoyed creating a seasonal-themed world on their combined land at “Dee’s Retreat” and “Sherlockville – Fircairnlow,” with approx. 7,000 m2 to play on.

Upon your arrival, set your windlight to midnight to enjoy the full effect of their haunting world. Feel free to invite a guest!

You won’t want to miss the place of horrors they have created for your enjoyment:

Visit the haunted woods!
See the witches house!
Shop in the Bloody Shops of Horrors!
Relax in the gazebo!
Visit the waterfall!
Bob for apples!
Tour the ghostly graveyard!

Most of all, have some fun dancing on the dance floor with dance balls provided for your entertainment! (Be sure to enable your media player.)

BONUS: There will be a Halloween Hunt on the day of the dance starting after 2:00 a.m. SLT and ending after the dance. Look for the color changing pumpkins to claim your gift inside!

In addition to the color changing pumpkins for the Halloween Hunt, there are a number of other objects around this scary world that have free gifts for the taking.

And don’t forget to check out the shops!

Dee and Sherlock have really worked hard on this, so if you enjoyed their fantastic creation, PLEASE consider dropping a donation at one of the donation boxes to help them to continue to bring you a world of fun throughout the year.

Costumes are encouraged – see you there! 🙂

Something Special for August!

August 9, 2016 / relatively curious

This Thursday, August 11 at 5:30 pm SL time (Pacific) ALL genealogists in SecondLife are invited to a very special meeting followed by a summer dance, at Just Genealogy.

The meeting will be held to discuss the organization of an official SecondLife Genealogical Society. Yes, we already have an award-winning chapter of the APG (Association of Professional Genealogists), but this new group will be for genealogy enthusiasts at any level of skill – beginners to experts, hobbyists to professionals. We can learn a lot from one another!

One hope for this group is to have this new group become a partner society of FGS (the Federation of Genealogical Societies), which would provide our group members with the benefits of FGS membership: discounts, webinars, and more.

Following this meeting at about 6:30 pm will be a fun, summer dance, with our favorite DJ Jaffee Gaffer.

Please plan on joining us at 5:30 p.m. SecondLife Time (Pacific Time) to share your ideas for this new group! And of course, you can’t miss the dance – They are always a great opportunity to chat and share our summer genealogy research stories and successes.

Hope to see EVERYONE there!!
