I hope you are all doing well. It looks like last June's Planet Patrol team winners should be announced shortly - check out the new prizes in the wishlist. May is a fairly quiet month in Mara's calendar. I only see Lost Sock Awareness Day and Battle Booster. This would probably be a good time to work on Drew quests and build up your vouchers for Pride Week coming up the end of June.
