My
Mail Out Don’t Lie
Welcome
to the first mail out from our new office, which came complete with its own
Mail Out Wing, where our crack team of Mail Out Monks can train their mail out
skills in the Mail Out gym, relax in the Mail Out healing lounge and carefully
hone and craft each Mail Out individually on the Mail Out assembly line. If you
have an item for the Mail Out Monks to engineer into the next update, please
send it to the Mail Out sensei at Jack.Kirby@DofE.org.
We
have moved to a new office! Our new address is
