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!)

@Heather225 Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up! I'll be sharing this week's beacon list (and all future ones) at 6:00pm (Pakistan time) every Monday. So, please post your 7-day contribution accordingly. If you can't make it by then and end up posting later, no worries! I'll add it to the list I'm keeping and update your total accordingly in the following week's beacon 🤍
