The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (Week 8 / May 3)
Welcome to week SEVEN of The Weekly Beacon! For those who might be new to this initiative, The Weekly Beacon is our new tradition where we share simple, small ways you can lend a hand around 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!
After 7 weeks of successful growth, we saw our first group of All for ones! Swing by this post to give them some love!
Congratulations to everyone who has earned stars for their acts of community spirit! As always, if I am off count, PM me.
