@Kate
Hii I have a suggestion given how last month's event panned out. Would it be possible if events that are centered around the same awareness or are using the same badge (ex: fall events) be better coordinated so there is one masterpost / alert vs multiple alerts. I don't know off the top of my head how this coordination would look, but if it could be something we strive toward little by little (these threads are a great start!) that would be beneficial I think.
@MonBon That makes sense. With the new alerts feature we can edit alerts as well so seems smart.
@Kate
HI Kate Mindfulness Tea, is working on activities and writen discussions

@SoulfullyAButterfly Oooh! Good finds! These sound fun!
@Kate @MonBon - exactly! hope everyone can come up with cool ideas for these.
Fun month! @Kate
I'm excited for the Kindness Day!

@RaCat
I'm not sure if general support has anything planned this month. We might just join in on the cupsgiving activites and try to help there where we can. Tagging our events team @Imogene and @radiantrey
@MonBon @radiantrey
I'll try and come up with something for World Kindness Day but it's likely to be something small like passing an act of kindness forward, nothing big like a forum hunt or something - hopefully that's okay!
@Imogene
I'm fine with that haha. I could use a break from big planning :P
@MonBon @Imogene Let
@Kate @MelAllyouneedislove
I'm going to be working on National Sundae Day (November 11th) and National Absurdity Day (November 20th) for TOZ! Anyone that wants to help is more than welcome to.
I don't believe ED has anything planned this month - but I will edit this if this changes! With Adoption Day - yay this is the day I've been waiting for!
@MistyMagic - Would you like to collaborate with us to do something with families going from foster care to adoption? I can message you more about this - and maybe we could get some plans together? I'd love to see if we could create something unique and special in time for the day
@Jill7Cups - Is there an option to do an event with the parenting sub-community?
Although Foster Care is a specific subject in its own, it would be silly to disregard the link it has with adoption - and the fact that many individuals who are waiting to be or have been, adopted - would have been in Foster Care. Therefore I think National Adoption Day is a great day for our Sub-Community to start events and celebrate the day! 
Exciting Days ahead - i'm looking forward to seeing all the events planned!
@emsworld I think that would be great to highlight Foster Care! Hoping Jill has some ideas too!
@emsworld Yes parenting would LOVE to collab!
Hey! Student Support is working on planning Graduation parties and Class pep rallies. Pep rally mostly for the teen side unless Adult Side wants to have pep rallies too.
