NWI Monthly Update: June (2019)


New West Indies Monthly Update: June
Volume I, Issue IV


Welcome back to the Monthly Update

Hello again, nations of the New West Indies!

We've had quite the eventful summer. Coupled with unprecedented growth, and new nations entering the fold, our region has prospered more than ever before. It's a wonderful sight to see new members of our community.

If you haven't already, join our region's Linkdiscord! There, you can find the best our community has to offer – socializing, great memes, General Assembly discussions, vexillological work, and more!

We had our first official region-wide cultural event this month! It was a blast. See "Recent Activity" for more information.

Remember that the writing (unless stated otherwise) in these issues is the product of Karteria unless specified otherwise. Contact me if you have any comments, concerns, and/or suggestions for the next issue.

I am also making this update open for advertisements.
