Forum Event: Recovery Month
Hi everyone! September is Recovery month. We were planning on hosting an event in general support, but given the fact that there are many issues we support on this site deal with the topic of recovery, we wanted to open it up to the whole community!
However, we are mindful that we are all volunteers and we don't want to overload everyone with a super labor intensive event like the 7 cups birthday, so we are opening up this thread for ideas! A few less labor intensive examples I was thinking of:
-- Forum Hunts - these are fairly easy on the organization side as it just requires gathering appropriate threads and letting those involved find their way through
-- Reply challenges - reply challenges usually consist of "answer 5 needs reply" or "reply to someone in x community." These are also fairly easy on the organization side as we just set up the challenges and direct others to complete them.
If there is something else you can think of to involve the whole community in recovery month, please let us know! The more cross-pollination between communities, the better!
