Hello Penguins!
We know it’s a bit early, but we wanted to make sure we were the first to wish everyone a “Happy New Year!” Today launched a few fun additions to the party to help celebrate so be sure to check it out.
Also, the Coins for Change project was a huge success. Over 2 billion coins were donated and here is the breakdown of how much real money goes to each cause and the charitable organization it represents:
- $394,000 will go to kids who are sick (The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation)
- $330,000 will go to the environment (World Wildlife Fund)

Yahoo Accounts Not Getting Email
Hello everyone!
It's been a while since you've heard from me, but I wanted to give you a quick update that I hope you will find helpful.
Some of you have not been receiving important emails from us and that's because we are currently experiencing difficulty sending email to people using Yahoo accounts. If you've been waiting for an activation email or a lost password email and you use a Yahoo account, it could be because of this. I'm sorry for any difficulty this causes you guys!
We are working with Yahoo to solve the issue as quickly as possible. Until we find the solution, we appreciate everyone's patience.
Thanks!

Christmas Party!!!
Hello Penguins!
I hope you’re all enjoying this years Christmas party! We had a lot of fun using your ideas to make this one of the best! My favorite part is the trains in the Forest, but as always, we would love to hear about your favorite part!
Some of you have been asking why we didn’t do the Christmas tree decoration like last year. We decided to replace that with the “Coins for Change” project this year, which is going great thanks to you! Lets try to make this the best time of year in Club Penguin by being as friendly and helpful as possible. You all are what makes Club Penguin so much fun!
Also, be sure to check back into the party next week, because we might have one more “Christmas item” for everyone!
Until then... Waddle On and Merry Christmas!

Tour Guides Needed! (and a Filter Update!)
Hello Penguins!
As many of you have seen, there are a lot of new penguins waddling around these days and we need your help to show them around! All of us were new at one time and I’m sure you remember what it felt like to have had an empty buddy list and not know where things are. Please do whatever you can to make Club Penguin a welcome place and maybe give someone a tour. I’m sure they will thank you for it!
In other news: We’ve made some big steps lately as we continue to improve the filter to let more of the good stuff through. If you used to feel like it was hard to chat because of the filters, I recommend you try it again. Moderators are working harder than ever to help make sure the community remains a safe place to hang out with friends. We still have to block numbers because of phone numbers and addresses, but other than that, you should be able to talk more than before! We’ve even seen some penguins singing Christmas carols around Club Penguin which would have never worked with the old filter. We will keep working on it to keep it just as safe while making it easier to hang out with your friends!
Until then... Waddle on!

New Stage and New Furniture!!
Hello Penguins!
Hopefully you’re all enjoying the new show at The Stage. Many of you asked for a “Shakespeare” theme and we listened! If you don’t know who Shakespeare is, be sure to ask your parent or teacher. We’re still looking for ideas for future shows, and we would love to hear your ideas!
In other news: The new furniture catalog was launched today and judges are starting to look through igloos to find a winner for the igloo contest! You could win 10,000 coins to use for whatever you want. If you’re looking for ideas, I would recommend giving some of them to charity through the “Coins for Change” project which also starts today!
Until then... Waddle on!

Start Saving Your Coins!!
Hello Penguins!
I just wanted to tell you to save your coins because we’ve got some really cool stuff coming up over the next few weeks. First off, the “Coins for Change” project starts on Friday which allows you to give your coins to help three different charities. Once you’ve given away some coins, you’ll want some coins for the new furniture catalog coming out this week. Try your best to decorate your igloo for the Holiday igloo contest and you could win 10,000 more coins!
Along with that, a new show starts at the Stage on Friday so you’ll want to pick up a few costumes and join in or take a seat and watch the production. I will give you a hint about this new theme and say it's something many of you have asked for. I can also tell you it's not a Christmas theme. We thought with the upcoming Christmas party, it would be neat to have something different for the Stage.
In other news: Be sure to check out the new comic in the “fun stuff” section of the website and let us know what you think!
Until then... Waddle on!

New Christmas Clothing!!
Hello Penguins!
We launched the new clothing catalog today and we hope it starts to get you in the Christmas spirit! We’ve got some really fun stuff planned to help celebrate the holiday season and this is just the beginning! I really like the “Long Johns,” but as always, we’d love to hear what you think!
Also, the new emotes are on their way, we're just fixing a couple bugs we found before we launch them.
In other news: Many of you have noticed that we added “Walt Disney” to our logo. For those of you who are wondering, Club Penguin as a game will not change and it will continue to be ad free. We are really excited about being a part of Disney and there are a lot of things we’re working on together to make the Club Penguin experience even better. I wish I could share all of them, but they will have to be a surprise for now...
Until then... Waddle on!

New Emotes!!
Hello Penguins!
Many of you have been wondering what happened to the “heart” and “skull” emote and I apologize for not giving you the heads up. We got a lot of comments from kids and parents that didn’t like those emotes for various reasons and so we decided to replace them with brand new ones. We know that some of you really liked them and we took a lot of time to think about it before we changed it. The brand new emotes will be launched this Friday along with bringing the “flower” emote back to the menu.Hopefully you like the new ones as much as the old ones. We’ll try to add some more in the future!
In other news: We’re launching the first Christmas and winter themed stuff this weekend so be sure to check out the new clothing catalog on Friday! It is going to be a lot of fun!
Until then... Waddle on!
