The New Year Ghost’s Embrace Unity Gala

By Aspen Cartwright September 21st, 2018

The New York Ghost’s biennial gala is upon us once again, the theme of the event this year is ‘Embrace Unity’. It will be a night to celebrate and embrace the differences we each have. Like each year the event will feature a keynote speaker, dinner, and silent auction. This year instead of auctioning off prized artifacts, and rare magical objects. Attendees will instead have the opportunity to bid on some of the wizarding communities most eligible singles. In order to keep things more interesting, as well on theme each auction slow shall be kept anonymous save for a few key components about the date you’ll be bidding on.

Invites to the gala have been personally mailed out by Ms. Wilkinson-Stone to New York Elite, press, and ministry officials, and as always a limited number of invites set aside for the general public to be obtained on a first come first served basis. The NYG Gala to date remains New York’s most prestigious event, in which guests are expected to dress to nines. In the past guests who have arrived dressed down have been turned away at the door.

The venue theme and other details as usual will be a surprise. We’ll be there to bring you all the exclusives.

OOC Information

The event will run from Saturday, June 2nd at 5:00 PM CST to Friday, June 8th at 11:59 PM CST. IN CHARACTER the event will be held on the evening of SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2018.

                                                                                                       mcusahq presents                                              THE TOWN HALL

The Wizarding community has expressed their concerns over the current ruling to toughen the laws concerning the families of the American Non-Magic born wizards. In an attempt to quell public uneasiness many of MCUSA’s elected officials have decided to come together to talk about what it means and why it is important for wizarding kind. All citizens are encouraged to attend the town hall, and if you are unable to attend, you are encouraged to send owls with your thoughts. 

The New York Ghost will be giving the real unfiltered conversations between the public and our elected officials. They will have their top reporters covering the story and promise to report the facts. 

Because of the delicate situation, the Department for Magical Security and Department of Magical Law Enforcement are coming together to ensure that both our elected officials and the public are protected. 

MCUSAHQ MINI EVENT KARAOKE NIGHT AT TAQUERIA MUCHO

Hey Everyone! One part of MCUSAHQ's month-long Halloween celebration is going to be an anonymous auction to raise scholarship funds for The Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts (WADA). Any and all wixen are welcome to put themselves up for bid, and those who do will get special VIP treatment at our final Halloween event, which they will share with their date. The twist is that no one will know who's been voted on until that evening! 

More information about the final, week 4 event is soon to come, but in the meantime we'd like to explain exactly how the auction will work. As of today, June 11th, you can send the names and descriptions of participating characters to @fidelius-x, NOT the main blog. (The reason for this is so that only one admin will have the event info spoiled for them, and the others can participate like everyone else.) You can include any info you like in your description (without giving too much away!), but some ideas are your character's age, gender, sexual oriententation, appearance, likes, hobbies, etc. It should look something like this:

CHARACTER NAME (Remember, those who are bidding will not be able to see it!) I'm a female in my twenties who you've probably seen on social media! I love music, animals, and the outdoors, and my hobbies include gardening, travel, and drinking way too much coffee. I'm generally a positive person and I love to get to know people, so please don't be shy! (And forgive me if I talk too much.)

One week 3 of the event we'll post a list of everyone who has volunteered to be auctioned off, in a numbered list without their names. You'll have one week to bid, and then at our final Halloween event, we'll reveal everyone's mystery date! Please note that you're encouraged to participate, but it is by no means required. Please send all your questions and character names + descriptions to @fidelius-x. Again, NOT the main. We're really looking forward to it!
