Building ManorMeta in the virtual world; voting our love everywhere

Hello Friends of ManorMeta!
It's true...we're moving! Our Better World Island location became too small for our crystalline sanctuary and we wish our friends at Care.org and the Better World Scouts the best wishes as they build amazing aid and activism efforts inworld. We will continue to be active scouts and offer you AMO Island as a resort alternative for visionary communities in development around the world.

AMO Island is opening next week to the public with many project areas in development including an Integral Commons, a yoga and meditation center, life science studies on brain and heart, the Amoration Amphitheatre, the Nexus Dance community, art by Alex Grey, Cristina McAllister, DanCoyote Antonelli and a handful of amazing RL to SL visionary artists. As we build you are welcome to join us; speak with In Kenzo directly regarding skylabs and other spheres at AMO.

NETSQUARED INNOVATION AWARDS
Thanks to all of you who are voting this week to support amazing innovation efforts! Over the last two years the ManorMeta/Amoration team has worked with over two dozen nonprofit organizations by directly helping these groups grow on the web, with constituents and in the virtual world of Second Life. A handful of the great groups we have worked with are also featured in this award process and we encourage you to get out and vote your passion!

A bit about ManorMeta's new opening on AMO Island in Second Life: we have been busily building a new integrated learning center for many different types of visionary groups to come together and experiment in the 3D collaborative world. Our work is very much in bridgebuilding as we gather a consortium of leaders from all disciplines with a common goal to share stories and solutions for complex world problems. ManorMeta is our living learning lab, but it's also a very complex real world networking system that provides space for innovators to connect. We thank you for giving us this role in your lives and hope you will get out there and vote for some of our partners and friends this week here at NetSquared!

So here's my slate for the voting process:

First Choice: ManorMeta (disclaimer, this is Amoration's project)
Second Choice: HOOZE and WAGN
Third Choice: Global Lives Project
Fourth Choice: Anti-Genocide Community
Fifth Choice: Building a Community of Modern Abolitionists
Sixth Choice: SE Learning Games
Seventh Choice: Games for Change
Eighth Choice: Targeted development for social empowerment
Ninth Choice: SourceTree Commons
Tenth Choice: Grassroots.org toolbox

We have personally worked or supported all of these efforts and can say that these leaders are on the right path! Unfortunately you cannot vote for 20 or more as there are many other great efforts here that deserve shoutouts too. Go to http://www.netsquared.org/projects/vote today and vote for the SL Relay for Life, Avatar Action Center, Info Island and many other amazing virtual world projects too.

Best wishes and happy voting.
In Kenzo (Evonne Heyning) for Amoration
