The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (August 24)
Welcome to this week's Community Beacon! For those who might be new to this initiative, The Weekly Beacon is our new tradition in which we share simple, small ways you can lend a hand in the community. The heart of 7 Cups has always been the people in it, and you do not need official badges, special training, or hours of free time to make a difference in someone else's day.
🌟 The Recognition Board 🌟
Every day you reply to these weekly threads to let us know you completed one of the tasks, you earn a star. You can earn up to 7 each week for each day of the week (1 day = 1 star). Once you earn 30 stars, you will receive the exclusive "All for one" badge!
Congratulations to everyone who has earned stars for their acts of community spirit!

I forgot to say I have shared 2 guides yesterday
Today: I hosted a session in the LCR.
I did check around the world community as a mentor ( did some edits... )
Shared the member best practice guide and the listener guide.
I applied for to become a quality mentor. I want to become a chat supporter too. It's funny that i have been providing quality mentorship and chat support to listeners without realizing that those are roles and called 'quality mentor' and 'chat suuport' 😂🤣. I was sure it's something but I didn't know what they are called. Just realized that yesterday hahaha. I think i am doing some listener coaching too. I need those badges 😂
Today i applied for another leadership role. 😊
