Group overcoming negative feelings from OpenSpace Sim change
by Rose Springvale
The Grand Tour Planning Committee is pleased to announce our second Grand Tour on Saturday, February 14, 2009 beginning at 8:30 am SL time. The Grand Tour was created last fall by a group of citizens who wanted to overcome the negative feelings generated by the change in open spaces. The mission, as stated by founder Fogwoman Gray, founder: "To bring all our nations and groups together to demonstrate why we stay, and what is important."
The complete schedule follows. [all times are SLT]
