‘What we call the beginning is often the end…..And to make an end is to make a beginning’ - T.S. Eliot

The end of the year, 2011 marks the end of a busy and active 6 months since the last activity report was filed. The current Council Team was faced with the immediate challenges and turmoil of situations such as the sudden disappearance of multiple estates as they left for another grid, the ‘retirement’ of Fabrice Snook, the world economic situation (yes, it does impact SL), and the continuing uncertainty behind and subsequent shifting of the ‘appointed’ leadership of this second half-year Council Team of 2011.

As the last active administrative member of this current term of the Council Team, I have taken it upon myself to file this half-year report to better inform you on the status of activities and projects which fell into this last half of the year.

GROUPS: As GA Groups manager/moderator, I am pleased to report that membership numbers have remained steady in both the GAY ARCHIPELAGO (2600 +-) group as well as the GA Events Info Group (733 +-).

Jul 132011

For the first time, the GA Events Committee organizes 3 themed parties to celebrate Bastille day 2011 in 3 different themed venues decorated for this occasion.

Not to be missed on 14 July :

12am-2pm : Opening Party (DJ Seb). The party will be held @ The Bunker in Gay Fun World. In honor of the brave soldiers from around the world participating in the military parade held on the Champs Elysées in Paris, we recommend a military uniform.

2pm-4pm : Bal des Pompiers / Firemen's Bal (DJ HotBoy). The party will be held @ rendezvous. As a tradition firefighters invite residents of the villages and towns of France to join them to celebrate the Bastille day at their ball room. Come dance, have fun and, why not, find the fireman of your dreams.

4pm-6pm : Guillotine* Party (DJ Yifu). The party will be held @ Gay Riviera (inspired by the French Riviera). DJ yifu will make your head spin with an amazing set ! try to keep it on !

The Bastille Day is brought to you by the GA Events Committee : Thom Nexen & HunterTx

* The guillotine is a French-designed machine that was used in France for the formal application of the death penalty by beheading.
