Measuring impact, both qualitative and quantitative is a crucial part of our development efforts, so please take a moment to add your input to help support NPC:

NPSL on MSNBC. Cool.

Kiva in SL's Grand Opening Party at the NPC a grand success.

The Grand Opening of Kiva in Second Life's office was a grand success. Our final avatar count was 41, which included the people who dropped in through the ceiling. There were several reporters there, including the editor from Prim Perfect.

There was dancing and champagne, and talks by Skeeboo Tammass (Joe), Elron, and Julles Boucher (Julia) about Kiva and Kiva Friends and all that is going on in Second Life about Kiva.

 

Many thanks to Brownrice Internet for hosting the NPSL site.
