Save the Hurricane, Save the World

All right, little ones. The Cyclone called on you to raise money for an ad in the Hillcrest Hurricane, and you met the challenge. To be honest, we were shocked. However, a wrench was thrown in that plan recently, as word has leaked out that there won't be a final Hurricane issue, mainly because about no one on the Hurricane staff got their stories in on time.

Needless to say we at the Cyclone were disappointed. While we are no doubt the number one news source in the world, let alone Hillcrest, we thrive off competition. And we're on Hurricane staff, so that's a factor as well. What this means for the First Annual Hillcrest Cyclone FUN-Raiser is unclear, and we're open to feedback from people who donated to our worthy cause.

There are several options: refund the money; use it for another equally awesome purpose; or save the Hurricane issue and thus save our ad.

It's up to you, Cyclone readers. J-Dav, EIC of the Hurricane, is already pretty stretched thin as it is, and we're not sure if the rest of the staff of the Hurricane wants to do another issue, or needs to do another issue. All we're saying is, if you really want to read the Hurricane/see our ad, then go up to your friendly neighborhood Hurricane staff writer and politely ask them, "Staff writer, I would like to inquire as to WHY THE HELL YOU DIDN'T FINISH YOUR STORY ON TIME?!! I WANT MY CYCLONE AD!!!" (Note: I [Jeff] didn't have a story this issue, so don't do this to me. Erik, on the other hand...)

The decision is yours.

And because I don't think Erik's awake to update after our playoff game, your weekly weekend sendoff, this time striking a little closer to home.

UPDATE: Hillcrest Cyclone FUN-raiser

WE HAVE DONE IT!!!!! $90 has been raised through charitable donation, and you shall see a Hillcrest Cyclone advertisement in the final issue of the 2009 Hillcrest Hurricane.

Hillcrest Cyclone 1st Annual FUN-raiser (lulz)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another week load of spine-melting news coverage.


Now let's begin. Although The Cyclone grosses over $450,000 daily, we would love to entertain your support of our "news source." In the upcoming Hillcrest Hurricane (our "official" school newspaper), The Cyclone would love to to place an advertisement. This is totally up to our readership, but let's make this something more than a cult-following. The advertisement costs $90 and you can contact us at hillcrest.cyclone@gmail.com or in P-5 during all of 4th period. Pitch in for a good laugh. If you want to.

Happy Monday.

UPDATE: Grand total of $7. We're on pace!
Donations may range from $1 to $978. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thank you for your continued support of The Cyclone.
