The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (July 6)
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!
(Thanks to @MeilleureAmie, here are our stars from last week!)

Fun fact, Lou made me a banner while I was helping them and I just wanted to share it because it made me so happy to see! I truly hope to become a Supporter of this group one day! 💜
Ohh! I also participated in an ice breaker. That was fun 😁
Sorry for how the first message looks. The format messed up a bit 😅
@MentalHealthMatters01 You're doing a fabulous job 👏! How sweet of Lou making the banner for you! Awww. You're utilizing your time well and making a big difference. ❤️
Thank you so much! Yeah, it was a very sweet gesture and I truly appreciate it ð¥°
I love Sharing Circle and giving support. It's one of the best things from here, imo. Thank you so much for your words! It means a lot to me ð¥°â¤ï¸

Hey @Amanda84 @Magicpawsoffuture I somehow missed your 7-day contribution because I'd already sent the final list to Heather and wasn't around when you posted it, so I couldn't update it. I have it noted, and will add as 7 stars to your total in next week's beacon 🤍
