Happy Friday, Community Builders,

We have a packed newsletter, but let’s talk about what matters first, alright?

Many of you know our beloved Jenny Weigle-Bonds. She is an incredible contributor to the community industry, recently married, and a victim of the LA wildfires. πŸ˜₯ 

A GoFundMe campaign has been enabled to help Jenny and John through this. If you have anything in your piggy bank, please contribute. Community Builders support community builders at their best.

On the positive side, we announced the Celebration for Community Manager Appreciation day yesterday by running local meetups worldwide. This is an incredible collaboration between Led by Community and the Community Collective, with Paz Pisarski as a facilitator to make this happen.

I built a site to show all our scheduled meetups. Visit the site, find your city, and RSVP! If there is no meetup in your city, no problem! If you want to host one and have it featured on our site, reply, and let’s make it happen ASAP.

We invite everyone to support local meetups and submit events for the cities where one is yet to be planned.

Francisco, Paola, Ismot & The Led by Community Volunteers!
