FCC Quarterly Community Newsletter
Introduction
May has already started with many exciting milestones for FCC, and there are a few more very close around the corner. The most notable, thus far, has been the launch of the FCC HUD!!
The FCC HUD
The FCC HUD is a wonderful advancement for FCC and the Femdom community. With this HUD, community members will be able to access up to date information on all FCC affiliated venues and stores, find events in the FCC calendar, teleport directly to the venues, stores and events. The HUD includes functions to browse the venues and stores by category to help you find what you are looking for in our ever-growing community, provides direct access via web link to FCC resources and much much more. Be sure to get your hands on a copy of the FCC HUD through the FCC group notices or at the FCC Information Kiosk. We encourage everyone to pass the HUD to any friends or community members as a way of linking them in with information about the Femdom community in SL. This is also a great way to support the venues and stores who provide so much for us all.
As we introduce the FCC HUD you will notice some significant changes to the newsletter format. We will no longer list affiliate venues and their information in text via SL notecard. We are instead now able to deliver all that same information, and more, through the HUD. One of the greatest advantages of this upgrade is that we will now be able to provide you updates on a weekly basis. When new venues and stores come on board, or an affiliate updates their details, we will send out the update directly to the users.
We would like to offer our gratitude to those in the Femdom community, and our friends in the wider BDSM community, who assisted in bringing this HUD into being. It has taken us over 8 months, and countless hours, but we are delivering, with the help of:
Ashe (Astarteh Mysterious) - Project Manager
Michael (bubblesort.triskaidekaphobia) - HUD Developer #superstar
Rick Gearbox (concept design) and Chris Banner (cuffhound) (scripting assist)
James Griffin (jamesgriphon), Soen Ember, Thrall magic, Persephone Whitesong, ღJαℳεε Sαȿȿαƒґαȿღ (jameesassafras), luanamae Heartsong, Lady Leigh (leigh.huet), QUEEN DELORES (delores.beaumont), Nemesys Graves (oONemesysOo), -SouL- (soul.evergarden) , Les Kira, ally Nova, LB Hush, Thandi Rhiadra, Cash Nova (cybertankgirl), Tayler Raynier, Adius Curzi (adiabatic) and the FCC Staff (Nalla, Val, Tenderly and Tall) - All showed up in various ways throughout the process to help make this happen.
FCC Information Kiosk Move
This month we will also be moving and updating the FCC Information Kiosk. This move is reflective of the growth we are seeing in our community through 'The MELD' project (more below). We have been welcoming new venues and stores, along with seeing an increasing number of community members volunteering their time to help create The MELD. The move of the FCC Information Kiosk brings space for this expansion as well as a modernizing of the appearance and functionality.
Alongside the move in location, you will also begin to see a refresh of the FCC branding. The cosmetic change to the logo is cleaner and more modern, but has kept the original color scheme. FCC information resources will move to the web and will be accessible through links provided in the HUD, at the FCC Information Kiosk, and in a reduced set of notecards in SL. With all these upgrades happening we want to reassure the community that the core goals and vision of FCC remains unchanged. We are still committed and focused on connecting the Femdom community members with venues, events and resources in SL to express their lifestyle, enhance their experience and grow as individuals. We are here to assist our affiliate venues and stores with advertising and networking, aiming to see them grow and flourish. We are all one community, supporting each other.
Meld News
Planning for The MELD this coming September is well underway. We have 4 Committees working on the social and educational events, creating the sim location, and liaising with our network of affiliates on their participation and advertising. At every meeting we feel the excitement building as the vision for this community event takes form. These teams are having a great experience sharing their skills and learning, meeting new people and building connections, and we are having a good amount of fun as a group too. There is still an opportunity to join a committee for the MELD 2023. Collect an application form from The MELD advertising board located at the FCC Kiosk. This board also supplies you with information about the event, a group joiner link, information on creating a profile pick to assist with advertising The MELD, and a link to make a donation. We are greatly appreciative of all those who are contributing their time, skills, money and resources to make this event happen. This is the community's event, so feel free to get involved. We will ...... 'See you at The MELD!'

She has taken on the role of Calendar Manager and is working closely with the Venue Owners to keep this resource up to date. Val has become an integral part of the FCC team, bringing in a wide range of useful skills, innovative ideas and an enthusiasm that translates into action. We are very pleased to welcome her as one of the FCC Administrators.
Conclusion
We encourage you to use the FCC HUD to find those venues and stores that suit you. Visit a new place, explore, shop, try something new, meet some new people, learn, dance, have fun, but most importantly …. be a part of your community!
Remember to join the 'Femdom Community Connections' group in SL to receive notifications of events from our affiliated venues. And refer other community members to FCC by offering them a copy of the HUD and an invitation to the group.
Our continued thanks to our affiliates, their owners and staff, and the Femdom community for your support. Your participation is vital in helping us provide this resource and nurture unity in our Femdom community. We thank you!
