As we step into the last month of the year, Whyville City Hall has many announcements to make!

First off, the Whyology Survey is wrapping up! Your chance to earn more than 300 clams will officially be over on December 16. That's 2 weeks from today. Don't miss out -- visit the Whyology Center at the Why House!

As the survey wraps up, a safari starts up. The 2001 Winter Solstice Safari is now open for sign-up! You can increase your salary up to 11 clams and earn bonuses to boot on this adventure. First come first serve; visit the Tiki Travel Agency to find out more.

And speaking of solstice, Whyville's having a first-ever Solstice Soiree, coming up on December 15. There'll be snow, music, and more. What's a soiree? Look it up!

If that's not enough, there's one more thing to announce: the Whyville Store is coming next week. Thinking about asking for a Whyville Pass for Christmas? You'll be able to get it in the form of a special Holiday Gift Certificate! Watch for it!

Keeping you up with the Times,
