Festival of Hospitality 2021 Week Schedule

[Stephanie]

Hi everyone, 

The time has come for our second Community Center Festival of Hospitality after several weeks of preparations by our community management team and our lovely members, alike. 

We’ve outdone ourselves this year and the positive response across our 7 languages here on the Community Center has been so incredible. From new members and our more veteran crew, you’ve managed to put enthusiasm, creativity and humour into your contributions despite this horrible past year. We have some amazing guides, tips and howtos to share with you as a result of those efforts.

If you missed out on writing an article this year, not to worry as you can still have a read of the week's content and share your thoughts and appreciation with the authors. 

Additionally, it’s not too late to take part in our Community Center video, too. It’s a quick capture of why hosting has taught you or why you love hosting! To find out more, view here. 

I hope you have an amazing week!

Stephanie, @Quincy , @Nick and @Liv

@Stephanie let the celebration begin the week is over. Great information, translations  from hosts from all over the world. The question is how are you going to dance?
