Tala :) (Hello in mer speech) Safe Waters Foundation (SWF) is an SL group promoting and supporting mermaids , mermen, and other aquatic creatures. SAFE WATERS FOUNDATION IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE A 2013 INTERNATIONAL OPEN HOUSE EVENT Safe Waters Foundation is hosting an all day celebration on June 8, 2013. Because digital mermaids come from all over the world, and therefore from all time zones – we have arranged to have this one very special day where you can find other mermaids and information in your time zone. Expressing this in terms of Second Life Time (SLT) it starts on Friday June 7th at midnight (which quickly becomes Saturday June 8!!) until midnight on Saturday, June 8th. We presume you can convert this to your time zone. There will be entertainment constantly – always something happening if things go as scheduled. Hopefully you will spread the word across all the international mermaid lovers and they will take this special opportunity to come in and get an introduction to mermaids/mermen and digital mermaids! SEE THE MERFOLK RESOURCES DISCOVER UNDERWATER PLACES TO EXPLORE 24-HOUR ENTERTAINMENT MEET OTHER MERMS FROM AROUND THE WORLD http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mermaids%20of%20Phantasien/121/137/10 Stay current on our new blog: http://digitalmermaids.blogspot.com/ There will be entertainment and designer showcases ** throughout the day. Check the blog for schedule updates. **A designer showcase is when one designer comes to the SWF amphitheater with some merfolk dressed in their designs. It is a great chance to get a unique view of their style, and then as time allows there will be also be some question and answer discussion as well. Come and meet these great designers as they showcase some of the different merfolk looks! We are strongly encouraging all mermaid groups to come to the event - take out an adboard and then have members swim about with group tags on. Give your country and your group some exposure! We do have some adboards still open for rental at headquarters - the small size is 25L per week - so its a good time to come in and grab one while there will be some traffic. We would love any and all people, mermaids or not, to come visit us to see what Mer life in SL is all about. If you have any questions, you can drop me an IM inworld (SyrenaViolet). Thanks, and hope to see you there :)
