The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (July 27)
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!)

@Heather225 Hey everyone! If any star counts are off, or seem incorrect in the future, feel free to drop me a message. I do my best to make sure everything is accurate, but mistakes can happen from time to time. If you notice one, I'd really appreciate a kind and warm approach, even if it's caused you some frustration 🫠 Thank you for your understanding 🤍
Also, just a little reminder: I send the final list to Heather by 6:00 pm Pakistan time every Monday. Any contributions posted after that won't be reflected in that week's thread. If you'd like your contribution to be included, please post it before then.
If you didn't get a chance to post by then, no worries! I'll add it to my running list when I see it, so your star won't be lost either way!
@MeilleureAmie
