Winter Fundraiser Exceeds Expectations!

We’re excited to share that the Jail & Bail Winter Fundraiser hosted by Tres Naughty was an overwhelming success!

From the lively “inmates” to the generous “bail donors,” every moment reflected the heart and humor of our community. A heartfelt thank-you to Tres Naughty owners Cal & Coco Beaumont, along with our dedicated volunteers and allies, for making this unforgettable event possible. Together, we’ve raised the bar on what’s possible when we unite in support of our vision.

As winter’s chill blankets our days and festive lights brighten our nights, we embrace the magic of the season! It’s a time for connection, celebration, and looking ahead with excitement. In this edition, we share highlights from our community and updates to inspire and energize us as we step into a new year together!

Happy New Year from Femdom Community Connections

MELD Community Center Launches!

FCC has had an eventful final quarter of 2024! Inspired by feedback from our community following the MELD Annual Femdom Convention in September, we’re excited to announce the launch of the MELD Community Center (MCC).

MCC is a compact extension of the annual MELD event that will be available year-round and open-to-all. It is a collaborative space where Femdom and Femdom-friendly affiliates as well as individual community members can host educational and social events with the goal of promoting the community and growing and supporting members in their lifestyle journey–building up individuals, relationships, and community. In the month of January, stop by FCC’s Open House on Saturday’s at 3:30 pm SLT for Q&A sessions about the MELD Community Center or direct your questions to any FCC Admin or Ambassador.

→ MCC Policies https://bit.ly/MCC-Policies

We welcome facilitators who can present information responsibly and entertainers who want to share their talent.

Our First MELD 2025 Diamond Sponsor!

A huge thank you to our First Diamond Sponsor, Tres Naughty! We’re thrilled to have you on board as our first Diamond Sponsor of the MELD 2025 season and can’t wait for your exciting fundraiser event (see below). Your generosity truly makes a difference in our community.

SAVE THE DATE: Jail & Bail Fundraiser!

Saturday, February 15, 4-6 pm SLT

Get ready to lock up the fun or bail out your favorite "criminal" at Tres Naughty’s Jail & Bail fundraiser! The Jail & Bail is a fun fundraising event where community members can "arrest" others and "bail" them out for donations. Have someone "arrested" for fun charges like "being a sassy brat" or "making terrible coffee." Once jailed, their friends and admirers can pay to bail them out—or pay extra to keep them in longer!

Submissives might have to beg or offer playful promises for their release, while Dominants could find themselves locked up with their freedom hanging on the generosity (or mischief) of others. It’s all in good fun, with a set time limit for each "sentence."

All funds raised will support MELD 2025, so come join the excitement and make a difference! For details, watch FCC group notices or check our events calendar.

MELD 2025 Diamond Sponsorship

Throughout the year, FCC invites our affiliated venues to host fundraising events in support of The MELD Annual Femdom Convention. In 2024, participating venues raised over L$50,000. FCC Affiliates who host a fundraising event earn the Diamond Sponsor designation, which is displayed at your venue's ad board in the FCC in-world advertising kiosk and in the FCC Smartphone HUD. Only three Diamond Sponsorship positions are available each year, and two spots remain open. If you're interested in having your venue host a fundraising event for MELD 2025, please reach out to a member of FCC's administration team (contact details below).

If you’re interested in being on the team that helps shape the next MELD annual event, make sure you're a member of the Femdom Community Connections inworld group. Keep an eye on group notices for MELD Committee invitations, which will be sent out in mid to late Spring 2025.

October 2024 Edition

FCC Quarterly Community Newsletter

Introduction

As the leaves transform into warm shades and the air takes on a refreshing crispness, we welcome the vibrant season of fall! It’s a time for reflection, gratitude, and coming together. In this edition, we celebrate our community spirit and share highlights from an exciting third quarter below!

Second Annual MELD Femdom Convention

The Second Annual MELD FemDom Convention was an even bigger success this year! Spanning ten days and featuring over 55 events, it offered an incredible lineup.

Attendees enjoyed a bustling shopping area with 25+ vendors, many of whom provided exclusive items and complimentary gifts, along with performances by over 30 talented community members, including live singers, DJs, facilitators & hosts.

The convention also featured educational workshops and valuable resources, creating a space where the community could come together to celebrate, learn, and showcase the essence of female dominance.

For more pictures of the event, visit our Flickr. Also, be sure to check out the event brochure online!

The MELD is brought to you by FCC, its community volunteers & allies. Without the generous support of time, energy and donations this event would not be possible. FCC is deeply grateful for our community's participation–a showcase of skills and talent that helps bring this event to life–for the community, by the community.

MELD 2024 Feedback Results

FCC appreciates everyone who has taken the time to provide feedback about their experience at The MELD. It has been overwhelmingly supportive–including the feedback that alerted us to areas where we can improve. We continue to learn so much from the community while hosting this event each year. Our goal is to continue to refine The MELD and make it an event where YOU feel represented. 

Here is a snapshot of the feedback responses for MELD 2024.
