Coins for Change fills the Lighthouse! HAPPY New Year!

…Old News…LOL the Coins are already removed! GOAL REACHED Coins for Change 2011 :)

Coins for Change fills the Lighthouse!
The Lighthouse is filled to the brim, and the counting has begun! It’s official—the Lighthouse is absolutely full of coins! This year’s Coins For Change has ended, and donators are celebrating. “This was our goal from the start,” said one volunteer. “We worked together, and we did it!”

Filling the Lighthouse with donations has become an annual event, but that doesn’t make it easy. Volunteers raced, surfed and worked their hearts out. “At one point I was a little nervous,” said another volunteer. “The Lighthouse is a lot bigger than it looks. But there are TONS of generous penguins out there!” Now the counting begins! Penguins and puffles alike will spend the next week counting up the donations. Results will be posted at the Beach, and in the newspaper. “Thanks to everyone who donated,” said a proud penguin. “It was so amazing. You guys are the best. You really have made the world a better place.”

Happy New Year!
Head to the ‘Berg to celebrate the coming of 2012. Fireworks are filling the skies above the island this week. The year 2012 is here, and many are celebrating at the Iceberg. A reporter dropped by to ask party goers about their favorite parts of 2011. “Earth Day Party, no doubt!” a construction worker told us. “I loved the egg hunt, and dressing up as a Snow Leopard. Plus we were helping out a good cause!” “I really enjoyed The Fair,” a baker said. The games and prizes were sweet. And I got to meet Rockhopper!” “The things I like best are surprises,” a ninja commented. “Like discovering new parts of the island, and new abilities.” “This year was full of them! I bet there are tons of surprises in store next year.” 2012 is certain to be an eventful year— and the Club Penguin Times will be there for every scoop. Happy New Year!

NASH TALGIC
Dear Aunt Arctic,What was your favorite part of 2011?–Nash Talgic
Dear Nash Talgic,
Picking my favorite part of 2011 was terribly difficult. There were so many surprises and celebrations, I couldn’t narrow it down to just one thing. So I didn’t—and I chose everything last year having to do with puffles! 2011 was a wonderful year for puffles and puffle fans. It began with the discovery of the brown puffle all the way back in January. Then the Pet Shop was upgraded with a new puffle personality test to help find your perfect pet. Next thing I know, there were all kinds of hats to dress them up with! And finally, two new puffle games came out—Puffle Launch and Pufflescape. I do hope there’s lots more puffle-excitement coming up in 2012. 2011 will certainly be hard to top!
Aunt Arctic wants to learn the best ways to decorate her igloo in 2012.
GNU YEAR
Dear Aunt Arctic,
What are your New Year’s resolutions?–Gnu Year
Dear Gnu Year,
Thank you for asking—I do look forward each year to making my resolutions. They’re a good way to set goals, and learn new things. For those interested, last year my resolution was to earn as many Stamps as I could. Though I did not earn all of them, I am proud to say I managed to add over a hundred new Stamps to my book. Not too bad, if I do say so myself. This year, I want to do something different. In fact, I thought of it just last week—when I started going through the Holiday Igloo Contest submissions. Over the years I’ve seen many amazing igloo designs—some which took my breath away! So this year, that’s my resolution. I wish to learn the best ways to decorate my igloo. I’ll make sure to let everyone know how it goes. Take care, and Happy New Year!

Secrets Classified Migrator in the Telescope :)
Rockhopper always sails to and from Club Penguin in the same direction—and you can watch! Head to the Beacon, and click on the telescope. It’s a great way to see if the Captain is on his way—or to wish him a final bon voyage.
