Lady TeaL: This is a happy and poignant time for me as we close the ceremony
Lady TeaL: It is always great to have an event of this stature to bring the community together. I hope this year you enjoyed the expanded version of the awards with the nominee dance with the new sequences that improved the party.
Lady TeaL: We are thankful to PKToons for hosting the music that lasted for days and for their efforts at the CY Ball that starts in just a few minutes. I also want to take this time to thank all the presenters for a job well done.
Lady TeaL: I am so proud to be a citizen of active worlds. We thank you for your support each and every year. 10 years ago this was just a thought and now it is a major production that is just pure fun.
Lady TeaL: Now let's continue our fun by dancing the night away in the Ballroom Lets Party like it was 1998 again. WhooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooo.
Lady TeaL: Thank you all again and see you next year. Don't forget to check out the fireworks display 25.65S 8.32W 0.05a 176
