BAY CITY ANNUAL TREE LIGHTING, CONCERT, AND FUNDRAISER

Fourth Annual Event celebrates the holiday season

 Come to the Bay City Fairgrounds on Sunday, December 8th 2013 from 1-4 PM SLT for a tree lighting, skating party, silent auction, music event featuring GoSpeed Racer, Grace McDunnough, and CelticMaidenWarrior Lancaster. The event will be held at the Bay City Fairgrounds, in North Channel ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/North%20Channel/128/128/24/ ). There will be ice-skating, dancing, refreshments and lots of fun!

In addition to all the above, a silent auction is planned for the event. We are asking Second Life™ designers and artists to participate by providing fun, interesting, unique, or others transferrable items (or a no-copy object that the auction winner can give to you to redeem their prize, if the item(s) have to be no transfer) that reflect well on your Second Life pursuits. Please contact Marianne McCann to participate.

Auction will end at the conclusion of the event at 4PM SLT. All proceeds from the silent auction and from donation bins at the venue will go to Child's Play Charity (www.childsplaycharity.org). Child's Play is a 501c3 non profit organization offers online communities such as ours an opportunity to help seriously ill children around the globe during their hospital stays with the purchase of games and gaming equipment.

Bay City is a mainland community, developed by Linden Lab® and home to the Bay City Alliance. The Bay City Alliance was founded in 2008 to promote the Bay City regions of Second Life and provide a venue for Bay City Residents and other interested parties to socialize and network. It is now the largest group for Residents of Bay City.

For more information, or to participate in the event, please contact Marianne McCann.

A Mid-Autumn Afternoons Dream

Spring sprang, summer shined, winter welcomes, but I always fall for autumn.
“Color my city bright and pretty.
She frolics in the maze her eyes deft avert my gaze;
I her mentor and she my muse, delighting in the painted hues.
Come play with me under the big oak tree and happily we’ll set our fancy free!”

Seriously though isn’t autumn wonderful? Come visit Bay City!

Sunny Salutations   \o/

Halloween Party!

Just as predicted (smart aren’t we?) Halloween came October 31st this year. The Bay City Alliance held an awesome dance party at the Hallowe'en Hay Maze at the Bay City Fairgrounds. The party featured Bay City favorite DJ GoSpeed Racer! Hardly any pumpkins were hurt in the making of this party.
Rumor had it that in addition to Marianne McCann and Pygar Bu; the Lindens helped to spook up the fairgrounds and city. Thanks to Michael Linden for some awesome lighting and the moles for their spookalicious creations \o/

BAY CITY ALLIANCE

In October, The Bay city Alliance passed its fifth anniversary as a group! The first meeting was 10th October, 2008 Only four members who attended the first meeting (out of 25) are still active in BC. One of the first action items was a welcome basket. BlueGin Yifu, founder of the Bay City Alliance, passed in October 14th, 2010, roughly two years after founding the Bay City Alliance.  She helped spearhead the sense of community, and community participation throughout Bay City.  To this day we still use a stage design she created for our annual Anniversary event.

A Taste of Bay City Party is a party that YOU host at YOUR place in Bay City. It can be your residence, business, group headquarters, or any build you like; and held at a date and time of your convenience. It’s a great opportunity to get to know your neighbors and showcase your prims. Whether it’s a grunge party in your garage, a formal dinner, gallery opening or what have you… people want to see you what you’ve got going on! If you’re new to party planning it’s easy to get help from your fellow Bay City Alliance members.
