🐝 Recruitment 🐝

Our 2nd Anniversary recruitment officially wrapped up on Monday!

We've welcomed lots of New Bees into the hive over the last two weeks, and we're so happy to have you all here! 🎉

If you see one of our New Bees around Club Chat, make sure to say hello and help them feel at home!

🎤 How Do You Boo? 🎤

https://www.marapets.com/club.php?page5=1&id=187235

Don't forget about our recent event, How Do You Boo? 👀

Answer five questions about yourself and your Mara life, then MM your answers to Decadork with How I Boo as the subject!

Everyone who participates receives a Ball of Party Yarn 🧶 and every entry is automatically entered into our event raffle for a chance at Party and Doll Costumes!

How Do You Boo? ends September 30, so there's still plenty of time to join in!

🔨 Weekly Auctions 🔨

A quick reminder about our staff auction rules, especially for all of our New Bees!

You may only have one active bid on a staff auction at a time.

If someone outbids you, you're free to bid on another! Once you win a staff auction, you'll need to wait until the following week before bidding on another staff auction.

Member auctions don't count toward this rule!

🎟️ Weekly Raffle 🎟️

This week's raffle prize is an Enchanted Baby Gobble Plushie! 🎉

Make sure to get your entry in before the raffle closes!

That's all for this week's very fashionably late newsletter! 👀

Don't forget to get those Fashion Show entries in today, and have a great weekend, Boos! 👻

How Do You Boo? is all about getting to know the people behind the Boos! In the future your responses can be used as Member Spotlight/Member of the Month blurbs!

How to Enter: Answer five questions and MM 📩 your entries to me, Decadork with the subject line "How I Boo"!

🐝 Welcome to Boo Crew! 👻

Hi there! We're so excited to officially welcome you to Boo Crew!

Now that you're here, there are a few things we'd love to get you acquainted with as you settle into your new hive!

📖 How to Boo Guide

https://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=503545&id=5407679

All New Bees are required to read through the How to Boo Guide and leave a comment on the blog acknowledging that you've read it!

🐝 Meet Your Buddy

As a New Bee, you'll also be assigned a Boo Buddy!

Your Boo Buddy is one of our veteran members who volunteered to help you get settled into the club. They're your friendly face around Boo Crew while you're getting acquainted! Someone who can answer questions, help point you in the right direction, introduce you to some of the things we do around here, or just say hi when they see you in Club Chat!

You'll receive a separate MM introducing you to your Boo Buddy, so keep an eye out for that!
