The 2013 GFC Winter Ball

ScreenShot103The GFC Winter Ball is once again the highlight of Galaxy in Second Life. This year, the event is all iced over and the Roddenberry Center is an ice sculpture of paradise!

Everyone has gathered 25 min before the Ball to drink, talk and meet. Vice Admiral JD Matova suddenly greets us with a call as he gathers everyone to the dinner tables while they eagerly await for the awards and promotions to be handed out.

Before the show begins, we find the flagship of the GFC fleet, the USS Ajax, to be diverted but still arriving on time to present the Admirals as they beam down into the Roddenberry Center, and the events start.

Many awards and promotion are handed out to people who have contributed a great deal of time an effort into building and maintaining GFC. At its conclusion, we are greeted with the magic of fireworks in Galaxy!

Our bi-annual event is joyful for all. The GalaxyFleetCommand Ball has been a long-standing unification event for all our members. This event we all put aside our differences of opinion and just enjoy a beautiful night under the stars of Second Life. It is here, that we celebrate all the people who work at sometimes tireless tasks to make it all happen.

Rich Merk, the Social Events Lead and Engineering Coordinator has worked hard at keeping these events inline together with several other members. Everyone in GFC puts together their time and effort behind this event to make it happen. The GFC Ball is and always will be the one time everyone can sit and enjoy the time.
