I hope you all enjoyed the June events. You have until July 15th to finish buying your items at the Event Shop. Pride Week continues through end of day July 4th. As you work on Drew quests, don't forget to enter our Drew Quest Contest. And starting tomorrow, bluetaz2001 is back with her Pop a Balloon Event followed by her Who Am I? trivia Event. I'm not sure about Recipe Revival and Gourmet Gala. They were on the calendar last year, but never actually happened. Most likely new microwave recipes and retired gourmet foods at the time machine.
Thanks to everyone who has been donating to help out fellow clubbies. If you would like to help out for July, here is our focus for the month:

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:
