2019: Month of Celebration Lineup

[Stephanie]

Hiya everyone,

Our Month of Celebration has kicked off in style - we'll be keeping track of all the articles and their authors here so you won't miss out!

To recap, to those of you who are just hearing about this event here in the Community Center. Each day throughout December, a different community member will start a new topic about something positive. It will be on a huge range of things, both hosting and non-hosting related. We might hear stories, experiences, tips, milestones, traditions, fun facts, all kinds of things. :) This is the 3rd year we have run this annual event and it's growing exponentially with each year!

[Lizzie]

Just wanted to add a few words too, to say an additional thanks for all the amazing stories shared throughout December and all the time and effort you have spent sharing these. I have definitely felt all the emotions through reading each of the wonderful discussions. I hope you have enjoyed taking part.

I always feel a little sad though, every year as the Month of Celebration comes to an end, but I know I shouldn't because what really shines through with all the pieces shared, is the amazing community spirit we have here in the CC which isn't just for a month, it's an integral part of our daily interactions here and the friendships we have. 

A big thank you to @Stephanie for keeping us all on track throughout the month. 

Here's to even stronger friendships and more fun and enjoyment in 2020. :)

Thanks again,

Lizzie
