We have already started transitioning into the May items. I am starting to put items into auctions. Keep checking in to see new items. Feel free to add your own items as well. i know all the club members appreciate it.

AUCTIONS RULES REMINDER
1. No sniping at the last second if you don't already have a history of bidding on the particular item.
2. No drastic upbids. (No more than 10,000MP upbids.)The club Auction items are priced low to be advantageous to all our members.
3. There is a temporary limit of only bidding on 10 Active Auctions. We are looking for increased Club Auction activity from other members. (This means you should only bid for 10 at a time, but once your auctions are over, you can bid on more. You can have 10 active ones at any time.)
We are aware that all mp functions in the club are not working, so Poppi changed the club shop to club points and we have started raffles with club points as well.
WAYS TO EARN CLUB POINTS THAT ARE WORKING
9 Points per post on Club Chat
9 Points per item donated to the Club
9 Points x rarity of item donated
9 Points every time you enter the Club Quiz
9 Points every time you enter the Club Raffle
And through club events & club chat events
All three events I am hosting will award club points for participating and as top prizes this month. I'm a little scared, but Ian has promised us big stuff for May.
"For centuries she slept. An ancient power wakes with the Solar Flare. Marada is about to change forever. Starting May 1st, a month (or more!) of incredible events, new discoveries, and surprises..."
Here is what we know about so far.

EVENTS
Starting Thursday May 1st and ending the 8th, I have another logic puzzle. Each club member who enters will be awarded 5000 club points to use towards the club shop or club raffles. All entrants who correctly answer will be entered into a lottery for the grand prize of 50,000 club points. The grand prize will be awarded using a random name generator. Gummgumm graciously made us another set of logic squares to help with solving the puzzle. If you've never solved one before, I linked a youtube video to help you out.
5/9-5/16 Starting on Lost Sock Awareness Day, I am hosting a Shusan Quest Challenge. We will all be questing for socks anyway, so everyone should enter.
Everyone who enters will win 10,000 club points. Winners will be awarded points in addition to the entry award. So for example if you come in 3rd place you win 50K + 10K = 60K
FIRST PLACE: 100,000 Club Points
SECOND PLACE: 75,000 Club Points
THIRD PLACE: 50,000 Club Points
FOURTH PLACE: 25,000 Club Points
FIFTH PLACE: 10,000 Club Points
5/17-5/24 May Scavenger Hunt
This is similar to the one we did at Valentine's. Find a Marapets item for each category and then Maramail me your completed list. Everyone who enters will win 10,000 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: 75,000 club points
Starting soon, Poppi will also be running "Heads or Tails" in club chat. When she posts "heads or tails" the 1st person to reply with an answer, she will google flip a coin. If you guess right you will be rewarded with club points. More info to come in club chat.
BANNERS
May doesn't really have a thematic holiday, so Sugarnuttyk23 designed us some non-holiday club banners. If you would like to design some more for club members, please mm/mt me the link and I will add them.
