December: Welcome Committee Updates!

Erinik December 16th, 2015

Hey there you wonderful people! I come bearing news :)

Team update

I'm happy to announce @holly29 will be joining the leading team! She demonstrated exceptional dedication to the project and became interested in joining the team, and I'm sure she'll be a great asset as she has been until now :)

If you filled up the form to join the team don't worry! Holly is our first new member! But I'll be nominating more members to the team in the future :P

Don't forget to send this form if you're interested in becoming part of it!

Numbers and more numbers!

I just wanted to share with you that, since we rebooted the project, we got to welcome over 12.000 Listeners, if that's not amazing I don't know what is. You're all unique, and we're really changing 7CUPS a welcome at a time.

Listeners find themselves more guided through their first steps thanks to you guys, and that's priceless.

If you want to share some ideas or just feedback in general don't forget you can do that through this form!

Have you noticed Christmas is already here?

I'm proud to say we'll be joining the Celebrations Week (20 - 26th). So, it'll be awesome if our whole amazing team starts next week not only reaching out to welcome, but also to wish the most sincere and warm happy holidays we can give! As you sure know Christmas can be a challenging and time for loneliness to some people, and being the awesome team we are, we can fight against that!

Do you have any crazy idea to reach out even more? Share it with us <3

@Erinik I love all of this! First, our awesome team and all of the wonderful new listeners we have the honor of welcoming everyday! Second, the holidays are a difficult time for many people and I think it is important for us all to reach out and let people know they are appreciated, cared for and not alone especially here in our wonderful 7 cups family.

There is one important fact that I think we need account for, that is that not all people celebrate "Christmas!" If you think about the fact that we have listeners, guests and members from many different countries, religions and backgrounds who may not all be celebrating the same holidays. I think it is important to include everyone in their unique way as well as holidays they celebrate and some that don't celebrate anything at all.

I haven't really had a chance to come up with an idea as of yet. It occurred to me while reading this that we need to be thoughtful and sensitive to all of our 7 cups family! After all, Christmas isn't really my holiday either but it certainly has been a part of my life because it is just part of the world I live in. 💞❤️😊

@musicalMagic82 Wow! That's very thoughtful, and true! We should take into account the different backgrounds listeners and guests have! ;P

Wow.....12,000 is a big number. I am glad we were able to do this :)

I have a concern though: one of the new listeners I welcomed yesterday said that he didn't know a welcoming team even existed....is there anyway we can get ourselves out there? I was hoping that with many members we will be ab,e to welcome more new listeners...this place is growing very fastly:)

@dreamsallnight Agree! With all haha. I thought quite a lot of ways to get ourselves out to the whole community, and I think we could do events and challenges regarding that with our wonderful team. If you have any ideas please, don't even doubt in sharing them with us ;P
