Hot off the press: From RAOK:

The generous hosts of the "RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group"  have decided to gift 3 month upgrades instead of 2 months to candidates who qualify, as long as funds are present! *Heart*

*Questionp* Did you know you can ask for assistance yourself or for someone else who needs or deserves an upgrade, at "Request An Upgrade From RAOK" ?
As long as you have 10 reviews over 3 months, 8 items in your port, and your account expiration is two weeks away, you qualify!
The rules are clear so read and take advantage of this option if you are in need. *Heart*

"Here's another nice advertising avenue: "Community Spotlight" . Thank you for mentioning "Invalid Item" . I am always on the lookout for new contests, challenges, and fundraisers to add but my eyes can't be everywhere! People should feel free to drop me an email to let me know about a contest, challenge, or fundraiser they are opening so I can add it to the list."
