The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (Oct 12)
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!

Not sure if the math is mathing, but I have a total of 88 stars. 
@MentalHealthMatters01
@Amanda84
Thank you! :)
Week that started in september 21: I made 3 stars (The numbers went to 78)
The next week that started in september 28: I made 6 stars, that goes up to 84 stars
Week that started in october 5: I made 3 stars, but one counts as two stars (World Mental Health day), so instead of 3, it’s 4 stars? That goes up to 88 stars
Those are my notes, let me know if you have any doubts :)
@MentalHealthMatters01 Your total is 89. The 3 stars earned in the week of Oct 5 haven't been added to the total yet. The 2 bonus stars have already been added to the previous totals. That's why it's written this way, 3 (the stars you earned in the most recent week) > 86 (the total from all previous weeks), making it 3 + 86 = 89.
It's the format I've been following all along, and I've explained it a few times before too :)
And if you're saying that the previous total is incorrect, could you explain how? I've cross-checked it again, and it's correct as per my understanding 🫠
@MentalHealthMatters01 💖
Aww, thank you! Love you, too! 💜
@MentalHealthMatters01 Regardless of 🌟 count, one thing is for sure-- you're going freakin' amazing! Great job! ✔️
Aww! You're always so sweet, thank you! 💜
