‘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 +-).

Heya Folks,

As stated last month at a Council board meeting, and for your information, the GA volunteers team have to be renewed each six months. Therefore, two Council mandates per year will take place : one from January to June, the another from July to December.
Each of them are ending by a Festival managed by the Council team : the SummerFest in June, the WinterFest in December with the elections of Ms Lesbian and Mr Gay.

Thereferore, a new Council team will handle the reins next week.

Regi Yifu has been elected Mr Gay 2011 during the Gay Archipelago Winter Festival - December 12-19th. He accepted to share a few words for Prism, the Second Pride newsletter :

"Prism: How do you feel about that now that you had a few days to digest the victory?

Regi Yifu: I am so excited and inspired by all the wonderful congratulatory comments from the LGBT community. I look forward to being their representative for the coming year.

P: What did you think about the competition and its other contestants ? Was it easy though ? Did everyone get along back stage ?

RY: The competition was fun and challenging with all the lag! The other contestants were great! We all had a lot of fun back stage. Everyone seemed to have a great time and just enjoyed the fun of all being together. After I won, they all congratulated me and we all added each other to our friends list. You can never have enough friends!

RY: I think wearing that title will be an honor, allowing me to be an icon/mentor/role model for the LGBT community in SL. So I am so looking forward to making SL the best it can be for the LGBT community.

P: Tell us a little more about yourself and who you are usually in Second Life as your normal self. What do you do for fun ? What serious or professional activities are you engaged in ?

RY: In SL, I am the owner and designer of Regimade. I sell Cowboy hats (my first sculpt!), media moon (a 4 prims personal video Club), clothes, furniture, dance effects and many other things I have created in SL. I love to be generous and making people smile. In  RL, I am a graphic designer/webmaster for the University of Houston-Clear Lake. I create fused glass jewelry in my glass kiln. I have been with my partner since 1988.

Now, the Estate owners can spread news about their sim(s) on this main page, under the category "News".

That's useful to know more about the last changes and new achievements. Woohoo ;)
