SL Grand Tour Starts Valentines Day

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 tour has grown to 19 venues over 2 days and ranges in activities from Formal balls to "tiny" readings. Poppet McGimsie chairs The Grand Tour II.    Please contact Rose Springvale, rose.springvale@gmail.com, or Rose  Springvale or Poppet McGimsie in world for more information.
