Subj: Another Bicentennial Event
In Lupar, that's seven months from now, the Department of History will hold a Sentinel history quiz (it will start at 7 pm GMT on Saturday, September 17th). The quiz will cover all sorts of historical information from our founding to present day. I'm giving everyone plenty of time to prepare because it's going to be hard, yes even for those of you who are nearing your own bicentennial! (In other words, those of you who are in the prime of life).
If you want a hint on what to study, I suggest looking over our news posts and reading up on events concerning nature.
The winner will receive a fairly large credit prize and there may be prizes for other participants as well.
I hope to see you there!
