Hi everyone,

Just a few days left until we start the summer badge event. According to the last mm, this year's theme is Cosmic Cleanup. Even if you are usually just a lurker, please feel free to post in club chat if you need help with a challenge. People are more than willing to buy from your shop if you drop in a 1 mp item and post in chat. If you have a rather full shop, it helps if the item is on the first page.

We also have Egg Extravaganza and Pride Week this month. Scroll down to the end to read information from last year about the June events. ATM wise, I am running a design a team banner and a Drew quest challenge to coincide with Pride Week.

Thanks to all who continue to donate items for the shop, swaps, quizzes, and raffles. I'm going to be pretty busy with family stuff the next couple weeks, so I have already changed over to June items. If you would like to help out, here is the June focus:

QUIZZES/RAFFLES:

Donut Day CryptogramGwylynnsgarden

June 7th until June 14th

June 7th is National Donut Day in the U.S. In honor of this awesome treat, here is a cryptogram for you to solve. Maramail me the answer after you have solved the puzzle. Since this one requires a little effort, everyone who enters will win 20,000 club points. All entrants will be entered into a lottery for the grand prize. The grand prize will be awarded using a random name generator.

Grand Prize: Donut Pinata + 75,000 Club Points

A cryptogram is a puzzle with an encrypted message, where each letter in the message has been substituted by another letter of the alphabet. As you guess each substitution, add the letter everywhere it occurs in the puzzle, and the message will start to reveal itself.

Hints for solving
* The most frequent letters in the English language are E, T, A, O, N, I, S.
* Short words are often easier to identify and solve first.
* As you decipher more letters and words, use the known letters and word patterns to deduce the meaning of the rest of the message.
*Sometimes, the code is more straightforward than you think, so don't hesitate to try common letter substitutions.
