NPSL: Nonprofits in Second Life

As many of you know SL is about to turn 5 years old... Yup, a whole handful! This is a great opportunity to bring some attention to the work your nonprofit is doing in SL and RL.

As Linden Labs announced yesterday the party will be a two week event with the second week featuring exhibits from “business, education, health care and nonprofits”. Not only that but as they stated in their blog on Tuesday, June 3rd,

“We’ll close with a ceremony including a special guest speaker
with a very important announcement. “

The suspense is killing me!

Kiva has moved into the Non Profit Commons! We are located in office #23, in the top left of the sim. Our kick-off opening party will be:

Saturday January 5th, 2008, 10:30am-12noon

Tell all your friends!

Any new Kiva lender or anyone who makes a Kiva loan during the event can receive a Real Life kiva wristband.

The largest inworld Linden donation between 10:30-12 will relieve a 2008 Kivafriends Calendar .
