Thank you to all who participated in the 2012 Season of the Passionate Redheads Relay for Life. In spite of some setbacks, our team was awarded the Gold for fundraising efforts.
The future of this team remains uncertain, but the heart of this team will go on and on.
All Love and Gratitude,
Sabine McGettigan

My Personal Desert
If only that had said "personal dessert," and we'd find a new recipe for flan, right? In fact, my self imposed exile from Second Life and all its frantic activity has given me the gift of Peace.
Many of you are aware of my search for Peace, and I pray that you will remember me in your prayers. I continue to remember all of you in my own prayers during this most Holy Season.
We are all Passionate for A Cure. Please let's always remember that we are the COMpassionate Redheads. We take care of our own.
All Love,
Your Sabine

We Take Care of Our Own
Registration started today, so we're getting things sorted out. It seems most Team Members have stayed on another year (yay!) and we have wonderful talent to help in the Fundraising.
I'll be adding updated names to the lists, and remember to invite your friends to join us. We really DO take care of our own, for six years running. Let's continue to take good care of each other, and the fundraising will follow.
Let's move around and find some good spots for our Kiosks. This year we're considering placing Kiosks right next to a Vendor, making it easy for patrons to contribute and to buy cute things exclusive to Relay!
With Love and Gratitude,
Your Sabine

The Passionate Redheads Team Meeting 2-3-2012
DollEyes Barbosa asked if we will get kiosks to use at our private - yes we will Doll.
Daan had two agenda items:
1. Once warm weather arrives, Sabine will be stepping back a bit from her duties as Captain to spend more time with her family although she will still be involved with planning such, and of course she will be at major events. It is more important than ever to run things by one of the other co-captains first.
2. Sabine and Daaneth will be speaking at an RFL meeting on Saturday, March 3rd at 4PM SLT. They were invited because our team has been together such a long time with such positive team members. We hope you can all attend.
Edith wondered if someone could make pocket watches to go the RFL theme. Elphias Kojishi knows a clockmaker & OraSine Resident makes jewelry & Shockwave Yareach can make a pocket watch. OraSine thought an hourglass necklace for the women and a pocket watch type hourglass for the guys would be good.
BryanR Rickena noted that the tentative schedule is:
March 10--Kick Off
March 10-22--Fashion For Life
April 21-29--Fantasy Faire
May 12-13--Halfway There Fair
May 12-20--Paint SL Purple
May 19-28--Home and Garden Expo
July 14-15--Relay Weekend
Campsite theme suggestions so far are:
Alice in Wonderland
Giant herb garden :Thyme for a Cure
Edith thought about the store. She said we each could think of one thing we can make for the store. Daan noted someone would have to run the store. Daan will be asking a volunteer to run the store; it does not have to be a co-captain, just someone with time to do it.

The meeting was quick and painless. Meeting minutes are posted to the group and on the blog, where there also is a Google calendar at the bottom. The blog also contains links to the Redhead store and last year’s convio site.

Passionate Redheads Team Meeting
We have four co-captains this year: Sabine, Daan, Dusk, and Lomgren. Bryan also reported he was available to answer questions when they arise.
Themed dances as money raisers were suggested: 40s jazz dance, a 50s flapper dance, a 60s rock dance, a 70s disco dance, and so on. Lom reminded us not to be afraid to hold events, just make sure that one of the captains is contacted so it gets into the event boards. It’s helpful if we also remember to get it on SL's events list online. It was further discussed that we should remember to support other teams by attending their events. It means a lot to see other teams coming over to support each other in their fundraising efforts.
Sabine reminded us that in the spirit of Relay, the Passionate Redheads will again be sponsoring informational meetings for anyone from any team. Several successful Team Captains have agreed to come over and share some ideas with us already.
Daaneth reminded us promote the team blog at http://thepassionateredheads.blogspot.com/ . He will be sending out Redhead Goodie bags as Relay time approaches. Bryan has built a Redheads museum and urges all team members to visit. The slurl is http://slurl.com/secondlife/Precious%20Dragons/96/32/22 .
Finally, Relay for Life is changing groups, so please join the new chat, Relay For Life Volunteers. SL RFL for Life will soon be discontinued. Technorati tags: thepassionateredheads relayforlife secondlife

New Year
The Passionate Redheads may be resting for now, but we're already thinking about the next Relay. Last year it seemed that the "big guys" took over a lot of the heavy fundraising, making it hard for us "little flowers" to compete. I don't see that changing, since the Christmas Relay thing that just ended.
We already devote nearly half the year to fundraising, and I would rather have a fresh and vibrant team effort than to burn out before the season even begins. We did not participate in off season fundraising as a team for this very reason.
I have repeatedly argued with committee members that RFL should take place during winter months, when we're all sitting home on our computers in the evenings. I personally have missed way too many spring and summer evenings with my family because I was raising money for the American Cancer Society. This is not the kind of example I want to set for my (grown) children. ACS has a huge budget, and they don't need my family time sacrificed. Those summer evenings will never come again.

What a WONDERFUL day!
Relay is over now, and I am still catching my breath. We laughed, we cried, we celebrated. The Luninaria ceremony was, as always, very moving.
We still have about a week left to raise money, but we have raised so far over 700,000 lindens - more than 2,800 USD. I am so very proud of you all!
GO REDHEADS! GO RELAY!

Pink for the Cure at Cutlass
Last weekend, Dusk and Jenni planned a lovely "Pink at Cutlass" evening. Since I love the color pink, I was in heaven with all the beautiful shades of pink friends around me!
We had a fun evening with Dusk's classic music and it felt like coming home again.
Thank you Dusk, for the sweet music and event! Thank you Jenni, for providing our team with a lovely venue at Club Cutlass for the past five years!
With love,
Your Sabine

Bid Me Human!
Our sweet foxy SL News Reporter, Bixyl Shuftan, volunteered himself for our Bid Me Human event in Southern Colorado on Friday night.
He reached Human status within the first 15 minutes of bidding, raising L$5000 for the first week of Human-ness and L$1000 per additional day. The total raised was L$29,000, and Bixyl will be Human for a month!
Special thanks to Nuala Maracas for rescuing us when our DJ was detained. While Nuala has her own team, the Relay Rockers, she showed her true Spirit of Relay by heading over on a moment's notice to help our team. She then spent two hours playing some wonderful music, while bringing over many of her own teammates for our Event.
We all had a great time taking turns sitting in Lomgren's Transmogulator, built just for this event. I hope we'll get a chance to use it again soon! What a great team we have!
With Love,
Sabine

Team Relay for Hope
I'm late in adding this post, but it's a story that needs to be told, and told often, because I want the whole world to know.
Early in April, Daaneth Kivioq was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit after suffering a debilitating Cardiovascular Accident. From its inception, Daan has been a driving force behind the Passionate Redheads Team. It is an understatement to say we were all in a terrible state of grief. Our fundraising efforts ground to a halt as we waited breathlessly for some word of Daan's condition.
Just three days after getting the news of Daan's stroke, Evangaline Ling, Captain of Relay for Hope, came to me and offered to throw a Get Well Daaneth fundraising Event for our team. There would be no work for us to do, she explained. "We'll put out Passionate Redheads Kiosks and collect donations for your team in honor of Daaneth." All we had to do was show up.
The generosity of this offer can only be understood if you've planned a fundaising Event in Second Life. It takes days of painstaking details to work out. Team Relay for Hope arranged everything; from obtaining space on ACS Island, to the wonderful music, even setting out Team Kiosks! Team Cure Chasers decorated the stage and dance floor in a beautiful and festive display. DJ Shayla volunteered her time and played for us some beautiful and uplifting music for the first hour. In the second hour, DJ Dusk chose some of Daan's personal favorites, including Daan's "Theme Song, Rocky Mountain High."
I think I cried the whole two hours. What an outpouring of love for Daaneth, for me, and for the Passionate Redheads Team!
It is said that we don't remember the words people say, but we remember how they made us feel. I can honestly say that I can't remember much about those first weeks after Daan's stroke, but I will remember forever how very much love I felt. I'll remember it for the rest of my life.
Thank you, Evangeline and Team Relay for Hope, Cure Chasers, and all who came to show support to Daaneth, to me, and to the team. Daan is recovering well, and our hearts are forever changed by the love we've experienced in the Relay for Life.

Welcome Home, Daaneth!
Some of you may have seen Daaneth back in Second Life this week. He's not snubbing you; he can't type!
Daaneth suffered a stroke last month and his recovery has been miraculous! He is back home and doing well. A speech therapist has been coming to work with him on his typing skills.
He can read your IM's and your notecards. He has begun typing one or two word responses.
Daaneth sounds great, and he is able to use voice in SL.
Than you to all who have sent words of encouragement to Daaneth and to me! The outpouring of love and support has been heartwarming. I've saved every word.
I always remember to say prayers of Gratitude. I remain ever grateful for the friendship and love of my beautiful and loving Team mates, the Passionate, Compassionate, Redheads.
With Love,
Sabine

Sabine
