1. How Does Your SL Look Today?

   Well, I just got the invite myself last night, so I'll be sending it out to my group today and again on Friday. And I may say more about it here. It's a non-profit event -- nothing there is for sale -- so it might be ok to give out the SLURL here, possibly in the get-togethers thread, a bit nearer to the day.

   Yeah... I'd be seen riding in this...

3. ACS aka Relay for Life within SL

   This is a good point: I'm not sure what mechanisms are in place to ensure that all the fundraising for ACS is on the up-and-up, but there is confidence among most residents that all the RFL in SL stuff is actually getting to the charity in question. I'd be interested to know how one might go about establishing trust in that regard. Amnesty International-e, the SL chapter of Amnesty, is a recognized chapter of the organization: you'll find it (or certainly used to be able to) listed on AI's own web site, so that is one means I guess. I've heard others complain that ACS "sucks all the air out of the room" in terms of charities in SL, and I suspect that's true. One thing I've noticed when I visit events in SL for other charities such as RAINN is that the SL sponsors for the events are invariably small and relatively obscure stores. I'm sure there's more than one reason for that, but "I already help out with ACS" (where they will, of course, get a lot more exposure in return for their contribution) is undoubtedly one. Arguably, the financial impact of SL charity work is pretty insignificant anyway, and that what is possibly more important is raising the profile of good causes? I'm not going to criticize RFL in SL, and I'm certainly not going to engage speculatively in conspiracy theories about it. But I do wish there was more diversity in support for good causes here.
