The Dojo Repairs Done!
Hello Penguins!After all the mystery and excitement, The Dojo has finally been repaired and the Grand Opening has begun! We hope you have a chance to celebrate with your penguin friends this weekend! The grand opening celebration will be around all weekend and it includes a brand new room -- the one many of you have been helping to uncover over the past week. It's called the Courtyard! We would love to hear what you think about the grand opening, the new room, and all the creative things you and your friends have planned for the celebration!

Return of Coins For Change!
Hello Penguins!Because of the incredible response from so many penguins last year, because we heard from so many of you that you want to do it again, and because you guys worked hard to help change the world last Christmas, the Coins for Change campaign will return this year!
Coins for Change started with suggestions from many of you over the past couple years that you wanted to do something in Club Penguin to make a difference in the world. And this year it's going to happen again!
Starting December 12th, you'll have a chance to donate the coins you earn playing games in Club Penguin to three causes that will help make a difference in the world!
Like last year, a one million dollar donation will be shared between three organizations and the coolest part is you will be able to use your Club Penguin coins to decide how much of the one million dollars goes to each organization.
I'll have more details in the next couple weeks including information on the specific organizations you're coin donations will be able to support.
For now, it's a great time to start earning coins to change the world with!! If you want to see how your donations from last year are making a huge difference, go to Kids Helping Kids and watch the update video.
As always, we'd love to hear what you think about Coins for Change including any suggestions you have to make it even better than last year!
Until then...Waddle on!

The Dojo Needs Your Help!
Hello Penguins!The Dojo needs your help! Construction is currently underway after the big storm blew through during the Halloween Party. There's talk that it'll be fixed within the next few weeks. Be sure to climb the ladder, too--we're excited to hear what you think about what you find.
If you don't already have one, grab a construction hat so you can help out!! The only way to get to The Dojo is by clicking on your map and finding it on the mountain range.
As always, we want to hear what you and your penguin friends are up to all over the island - and what creative ways you find to help out at the Dojo.
Until then...Waddle On!

Toys: Mix & Match Figures!
Hello Penguins!Some of you have written to say that you think the 2" Mix & Match Figures are so much fun! We think they're awesome, too. I have the Space Alien and the Astronaut here, and it's cool to mix them up! We'd love to hear what your favorite Mix & Match Figures and combinations are...
The Mix & Match figures are available North American Toys"R"Us stores, Club Penguin Online Store, and Disney Stores and Theme Park locations across North America. Also, the Club Penguin Toys page has an update about the new Trading Cards. Visit www.clubpenguin.com/tradingcards/index.htm to take a look! Let us know what you think.
In Other News: I've been hearing from some of you that you've had a chance to meet Gary the Gadget Guy waddling around the island for the Halloween festivities. He's invented so many cool things in Club Penguin (like the Jet Pack and the Pizzatron 3000), but he's a bit shy of crowds sometimes. If you're wearing your Rad Scientist costume, it'll probably make him feel right at home! If you see him, say hello from me. Don't forget -- the Halloween Party comes down on Monday, so be sure and do the scavenger hunt if you haven't already!!
Until then...Waddle On!
