(reposting this for as long as necessary until goal is achieved. hoping to announce success asap so that we can have it concluded and move on to a happy and festive christmas/holiday for all) :)

Updates:

12/12/25: Just an update...we did it! We hit our main goal! Yay! Anything that exceeds the star package we select for Luna, will go directly to Luna's real life family, or be specified by them (charity, more stars, etc)...Stay tuned!

Our dear Luna Lunaria has passed. Rather than only mourn her, which we all do in our own ways, let us band together and show Luna's real life family...just how much she meant to us.

To some, perhaps Luna was a character from one of her rl human creator's stories. To most of us, she was much, much more. It is with a heavy heart that I have shouldered the responsibility as one of her many friends, to setup a GoFundMe for an idea i had: to name an actual star (or multiple stars different names from her stories or rl family), depending on how well this goes. If you like this idea, please find it in your heart to contribute to a worthy cause! https://gofund.me/60f7d925d

Not one thin penny will go to anything not Luna related, with the main goal being at least an "ultimate" star package from the international star registry. All pertinent information is listed in the interest of transparency. If we exceed the $200 goal, additional items or a bigger package may be purchased. I will be working with Lone Wolf on this, and any real life items to be mailed, will be sent discreetly and privately to Luna's real life family, pending their approval. For now, let's just get this ball rolling and see how much this OpenSim community loves and embraces her. She inspired us and gave us so much. Let us give back. Seriously, if you can spare only a buck, 1 dollar of your native currency, 25 cents, whatever it may be, it all comes from the heart. You are not required for your real name or any info to be publicly disclosed if you donate, so keep that in mind, friends. Any questions please contact Leonitas Lionheart or Remmy Ravenhurst of Homelandz Grid, Star Ravenhurst of Tenth Dimension Grid, or Lone Wolf of Wolf Territories grid.

Greta van Fleet - Die Ursprünge einer Rock-Legende in der Making

In der kleinen Stadt Frankenmuth im US-Bundesstaat Michigan, bekannt für ihre bayerischen Einflüsse und familiäre Atmosphäre,
begann eine musikalische Reise, die die Rockwelt nachhaltig verändern sollte.
Greta Van Fleet entstand im Jahr 2012 aus der Leidenschaft einer Gruppe junger Musiker,
die in einer Umgebung aufwuchsen, in der Musik ein zentraler Bestandteil des Alltags war.
Die Band, die sich aus drei Brüdern und einem langjährigen Freund zusammensetzt,
fand ihren Namen durch eine lokale Bekannte namens Gretna Van Fleet, deren Name leicht abgewandelt wurde
und mit ihrer Zustimmung übernommen werden durfte...

❄️ Noozaras Winterball ❄️
Ein Abend aus Licht, Klang und Bewegung
Wenn der Winter die Welt in Stille hüllt und warmes Licht den Ballsaal erfüllt, beginnt ein Abend, der Eleganz und Gemeinschaft verbindet.
Wir laden ein zu einem großen Winterball in OpenSim – partydestinationgrid.com:8002:Noozara Island
einem festlichen Erlebnis aus Tanz, Atmosphäre und sorgfältig ausgewählter Musik.
Ein DJ begleitet den Abend musikalisch und führt mit Gespür durch klassische Walzer, elegante Ballstücke und ruhige Zwischentöne.
Die Musik ist dabei nicht Selbstzweck, sondern Rahmen – sie trägt den Tanz, öffnet Raum für Begegnung und verleiht dem Abend seinen Rhythmus.
Der festlich gestaltete Ballsaal wird zum Treffpunkt für jene,
die einen stilvollen Abend schätzen,
die sich bewegen, verweilen, beobachten oder einfach genießen möchten.
Es erwartet euch:
• ein DJ mit klassisch-eleganter Ballmusik
• einen stimmungsvoll dekorierten Ballsaal
• Tanz, Begegnung und winterliche Atmosphäre
• ein gemeinsames Fest fern vom Alltag
Ob im prachtvollen Kleid oder im schlichten, edlen Gewand –
dieser Abend gehört all jenen, die den Zauber eines Winterballs lebendig halten.
❄️Lasst uns den Winter feiern.
Mit Musik, Bewegung und einem Hauch zeitloser Eleganz.

Get ready for a high-energy 30-minute burst of music as DJ Ted takes over at the Winter Ballroom in the Christmas Market region!

A fast, fun, festive set to keep Winterfest moving and the spirit alive.
