Andrew's Room and the Story of Surge-Man
Andrew is a dedicated SURGE fan who had a very busy week! He submitted some great photos of his SURGE-decorated room which includes a 6-foot tall "Surge-Man" made entirely out of cans. He then gave us the story behind Surge-Man, found time to confirm that the Burger King in Palatine, IL still serves SURGE and reported a new Sighting in Ephrata, PA! Oh yeah, he also added two letters to our Letter Archive as well.

We encourage all SURGE fans to check out Andrew's additions to the site, he did an excellent job! Thanks Andrew!!!

A Friend in Norway
This week we heard from Roger who is from Norway and is a big fan of URGE. He found SaveSURGE.org by chance and was kind enough to send us a photo of his URGE collection. Roger also informed us URGE is currently only available in 0.5 liter bottles and is usually found only in large chain stores.

Anyone who is at least a little bit curious about SURGE's Norwegian equivalent won't want to miss Roger's contribution to our For the Love of SURGE section. Thank you Roger!

Great Ways to Help SURGE
Have you ever asked yourself, "What can I do to help bring SURGE back?". There are several ways you can help bring SURGE back to your town. Our How You Can Help section makes it easy to pitch in:

Write Your Local Bottler: Provides a way for you to find your local Coca-Cola bottler and even provides you with a form letter. All you have to do is print, sign and mail!

Download and Distribute the Flyer: Our flyer is a great way to spread the word. Print it out, make copies, then post them on bulletin boards, hand them out at events, send them to Coca-Cola bottlers and before you know it you've made an impact.

Sign the Petition: SaveSURGE.org Hall of Famer Timb the Enchanter started the Save Surge! Petition and it has now grown to over 3,300 signatures! The more people sign, the more attention that is drawn SURGE's way.

Letter Archive: Want to write a letter to your Coca-Cola bottler but need some inspiration first? We've posted some of the best letters written by SURGE fans to help you out.

These are just a few simple ways to help. Just think, if every SURGE fan does just one of the above, WE CAN BRING IT BACK!
