The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (July 20)
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 the lovely @MeilleureAmie for counting stars!)

The beauty of this community is everyone has so many different talents they benefit the whole community, some people work to keep cups safe, others pick up constant chats and actively listen, other post great , informative and fun threads, others keep the forums seen and active and vibrant. Others keep the sharing circle active, while others are the heart of the listener support room, whatever the role, member or listener and wherever you prefer to be, thank you all for keeping cups thriving ⭐😊🩷
