Looks like I lost folks when posting the list of LGBT+ focused places. This group can certainly provide refuge from the haters. And it can serve as a place to meet and chat with other members of the community --which does help us build a community. And it's a place to promote events at LGBT+ focused place, as Mathilda Stark has done.

Posting about events, and cross promotion among clubs was the primary purpose of the group. So what actions can we take to get more of that happening? Some ideas:
1. Provide a special beacon for places in the community that functions like the already in place beacons.
2. On that beacon, have a note card giver with our list of places. an invite to this group to find friends and posts about events.
3. For next year's Pride month, have a special fundraising event to benefit a RL charity serving the community. We could do this 2x a year if that seems doable and desired.
4. Reach out to owners of venues I've listed, invite them to join this group, and give them a beacon (if that's the way we decide to go).

Thoughts? Ideas?

Yikes! When did the chat box here replace posting? Doing so makes this group no better than looking for stuff via the front page box.

What posting does that chat can not.
1. It provides a way to post and reply in a threaded conversation. That way, we can more easily see what someone is looking for, the help that has been provided, and the help that is still needed.
2. We have a small core group of helpers. I'd like to keep them around, and add to the number. Posts make it easier to see who has helped and to create a post that acknowledges the helpers. In turn, the acknowledgement post helps the helpers by promoting their regions and/or interests.
3. A post can have a picture of what you want or otherwise bring attention to your post.

Someone said chatting is fast and more reliable. I'm not sure how. Once I know why chatting has come to be preferred, I can see what we can do to bring those features to posting.

What do you think?

Join us at the Piazza at 3 pm grid time, for a couple of hours of fun and music while Rockin' Robert spins the tunes for us via his radio station Wax Radio.

Un viaggio alle Hawaii non è alla portata di tutti, ma niente ci ha impedito di invitare l'arcipelago hawaiano a casa di Mariposita per una festa a tema Hawaii, organizzata in occasione dell'apertura di questa stagione estiva.
L'atmosfera era semplicemente incantevole, i colori scelti erano quelli giusti, quelli dell'oceano, capaci di trasmettere un senso di pace e serenità.
Mariposita ha saputo ricreare uno scenario mozzafiato, ricco di dettagli che ci hanno permesso di immergerci completamente nell'atmosfera paradisiaca delle isole, curando ogni dettaglio con grande attenzione, assicurandosi che non mancasse nulla per farci viaggiare con la fantasia e trasportarci su una spiaggia paradisiaca. Dall'arredamento tematico ai cocktail esotici, dolci e rinfrescanti, tutto contribuiva a creare un'esperienza sensoriale completa. Ogni sorso di quei drink ci faceva sentire come se fossimo realmente sulle spiagge delle Hawaii, sotto il sole caldo e circondati dal suono delle onde.
La serata è stata animata dal nostro DJ Tombeur, che, maestoso come sempre, ci ha coinvolto con la sua musica e la sua energia contagiosa. Le sue scelte musicali hanno creato la colonna sonora perfetta per una festa indimenticabile, facendoci ballare e divertire come mai prima d'ora. La sua preziosa presenza ha reso l'evento ancora più speciale, trasformando una semplice serata in un'esperienza straordinaria.
Possiamo dire a gran voce che è stata una serata pazzesca!
Grazie come sempre a tutti voi per aver partecipato e per aver contribuito a rendere l'evento un grande successo. Senza di voi, la festa non sarebbe stata la stessa.
Un ringraziamento speciale va a Mariposita per aver creato un luogo così bello da guardare e da godere, con ogni dettaglio pensato per il nostro piacere e per farci sentire davvero alle Hawaii. Non possiamo dimenticare gli abiti meravigliosi che ha realizzato per noi, ciascuno dei quali era un'opera d'arte a sé stante, aggiungendo un tocco di eleganza e stile all'intera serata.
Ci vediamo presto per altri eventi, con la speranza di vivere altre serate magiche come questa.
Un immenso grazie a tutti voi!
Lo staff.
