Cave Expedition
Hello Penguins!
There's something behind the rubble!! Looks like all your hard work helping to clear the rocks at the Mine has paid off! We've already seen tons of you with your construction hats and shovels exploring the Mine Cave! Here are a few hints:
- Throw snowballs at the generator to keep the lights going
- Dig to find 4 pieces of a really special pin
- If you don't get the pieces right away, keep trying...
The word around the island is that these rooms will be closed soon so check them out now! We really want to know how the exploration's going - let us know what you're finding!
Until then...Waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
We've spotted tons of construction penguins helping in the Mine! Last week we asked your favorite way to help out when something like this happens, and Iceiceice said:
My favorite job is bringing pizza and other refreshments around to workers! I really like it because it is really good excersise and i love the look on all the penguin's faces when they eat my pizzas, it's a great sence of accomplishment! Waddle on CP!
And speaking of helping, since the recent earthquake in Haiti, we've heard from many of you about how you want to help. We wanted to let you know that through Coins For Change you helped donate $322,500 to help kids in the areas affected. Your compassion and generosity toward others is inspiring and is making a difference -- and for this week's question we'd really like to hear ways that you've been able to help others in need.

Until then...Waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
Last week we asked what you thought the ultimate igloo furniture item would be. Yodalaheehoo said:
The ultimate furniture item would be a flying carpet!!!! When you walk over it, it would rise up and fly around your igloo! That would be so awesome!!!!!! And you could pick the color and pattern!!! Haha- A penguin can dream of flying in the own comfort of its home, can't it? You rock Club Penguin! Waddle on!
Thanks for all your cool ideas - I'll pass them on to the team!
In other news, there's been a rockslide in the Mine and lots of you are helping dig away the rubble. So this week, we want to know your favorite way to help out when something like this happens on the island. Do you like jackhammering? Supervising penguins? Bringing pizzas around? Or something else? Let us know.

Happy77 asks about Cart Surfer
Greetings Penguins -
Looks like lots of penguins - including construction workers and rescue squad - have headed down to the Mine to check out what's going on. Don't forget that the Cart Surfer game's right there!
If you need extra coins for the igloo and furniture catalogs that are coming soon, why not give it a shot? I polled a couple of experts around here and got some tips for the game:
Expert #1 - "Do lotsa backflips!"
Expert #2 - "Grind all the corners."
Expert #3 - "Crash on purpose to buy more time! Seriously!"
I tried 'em out! I even managed to get a couple of hundred coins in one game... Still, I think I can safely say one of my faves still is making dessert pizzas on the Pizzatron 3000. What's your high score? Let me know - and share any tips you've got.
Until then...Waddle (and surf) on!

There might be a few Yeti caves around the island soon...
Speaking of caves, have you been down to the Mine lately? I've heard that lots of penguins are rushing down there in their construction hats. What do you think is up? Let us know in the comments.
Until next time... Waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
Last week we asked about your favorite play at the Stage: My favorite play is The Penguins That Time Forgot. I love the special FX and the costumes. And the script is really good too. And last I like acting in the play with my buddies and having fun! I hope if it returns everyone has as much fun as I did. Waddle On!
Thanks, Odnan. Next Friday's Better Igloos catalog might take you back in time too - I hear there are lots of cave items! Speaking of igloo items, we'd love to hear what you think the ultimate furniture item would be!
