$500 Goal Reached!

 

Fillies and gentlecolts! Everypony and creature! And to all inanimate objects with faces drawn upon them! I stand before you today with the honor to announce that thanks to your wonderful generosity, we have met and passed the $500 goal for this year's Making Christmas Merrier charity event!

As of making this announcement, the amount raised currently stands at $541!

So definitely a big thank you to all those who have donated so far for this event. The Element of Generosity is strong with you all! Praise be to the fashion horse! And also a big thank you in advance to those who do intend to donate in the coming days and weeks to help us reach the next goals ahead!

And for those that cannot donate this year for various reasons, a big thank you to you as well for being here at this time of year to support this good cause with your presence.

Seriously. As an Event Coordinator that has only been on the job for less than a week, this is an amazing first post as an official staff member to be making.

...

Well. That's it!

Announcement done!

Time for me to go and find another juice box somewhere.

Flowers to have staring contests with.

Apples to be pilfered from that stetson wearing pony.

Absolutely nothing else to be said!

…

Oh wait a minute...

Yes there is!

Now on to the next part of this announcement!

$500 Goal Present Opened!

“What has reaching this noble $500 goal unlocked?” I hear you ask!

A very good question that shall now be answered!

 

It's an old favourite of Making Christmas Merrier. One I'm sure older members know very well.

Several staff members have bravely volunteered to go into an active volcano full of traps and trials to obtain a staff of power that will allow them to claim dominion over the realm! Let us cheer them on as they undertake this endeavour for supremacy!

Wait... That's something entirely different... Was it that one thingy with the manticores? No that's not it...

Oh! I remember now!

Like I said. It's an old favourite.

$500 goal has unlocked:

A Staff Member Shall Sing!

 

That's right! A member of our wonderful staff will unleash their inner Pipp Petals and perform a song from a list of MLP greatest hits. But who will the lucky victim, er volunteer be? And what song will they be singing?

This shall be decided in two seperate polls by you lovely folks!

At the top of this announcement, you will find a list of staff members in a poll who have bravely put themselves forward to sing. All you lovely ponies and creatures have to do is vote for which staff member you want to hear sing. The poll will be open for one week. When the poll closes, we should have our lucky staff member selected and they will be forbbiden from taking part in any Turkey Call contests to preserve their singing voice.

Once we know which staff member will be moving you to tears with their singing, a second poll will be set up where you will then choose which song you would like them to sing.

So get voting for the staff member you wish to hear sing! Easy!

Go do it!

Now!

...

There's cookies and punch by the door.

Smiley face =)

The memes this morning in staff chat inspired me to make a quick comic about this that I must post here later on 

[Felis Amafeles 341]

I voted for Sir @Hugs SilkALot to sing whatever he wanted to ...
But it looks like @Captain of Fun will be the singer in the end

[EpicEnergy 22,086]

@Captain of Fun I will vote for you because it sounds like you would have so much fun and so would we when we hear you sing! Imagine all the fun that will be had, you must really love fun to call yourself the captain of fun!

I want to hear this XD. Would "totally" vote for you if you sang the Friday shuffle! And I would give you a pizza slice if you posted it on Friday. But Friday shuffle is not a Christmas song, it is a Friday song.

[Samurai Equine 45,917]

The world isn't ready to hear my voice.
It would shatter monitors, blow out speakers, melt hearts and faces, and confuse even the most genius of minds. 

[Reiki Knight 13 1,461]

Random horrible singing to help all the nervous staff posed to sing feel better about themselves.

[TheRockARooster 47,311]

We need to choose the most fun song imaginable. 

[Reiki Knight 13 1,461]

Why vote for just ONE to sing. I say you all sing in the spirit of harmony and friendship.

Also Santa clause says you get on good list if you do.

[Astralshy 23,574]

Hay yay!
Ive been waiting for this. We gonna merrier this christmas to the max 

But I'm also sorry .. as much as I want to vote for my friend @Captain of Fun to bring fun to him .. my true rival is somepony else. Right @Aticus the Adequate   ?

[Cash In 21,517]

You will rue the day you voted for me.
