This weekend on Sat., Oct. 25th, Public Works Island in Second Life will host a Buddy Walk to be held in conjunction with the National Down Syndrome Society. Last year, 270 Buddy Walks were held in “real life” to bring awareness and funds for Down syndrome, and this year, JL Zinner and I decided to host one in Second Life.
There will be a walking path around the island with information and signs about Down Syndrome. JL has also set up entertainment for the day. Here is the schedule:
12pm Ezcape Hax
1pm Phemie Alcott
2pm DJ JL
3pm Edward Kyomoon
4pm RockRythym Thespian
5pm DJ (TDB)
So if you have some free time next Saturday, stop on by Public Works.
JL Zinner, a DJ in Second Life, has done most of the work setting up the stage area, preparing the announcements, and arranging for the entertainment. And just like most public works departments, my end of it is providing the setting, setting up the signs, pedestrian and traffic control, and cleaning up after the event.
