I'd love to help. I'm very strong with spread sheets and Google docs... Happy to help moderate too.
I could do the copy cat matches perhaps? And i'm doing the Back<<< to the classics, but could do some other spreadsheet based challenges.
I could possibly do some penpal matching, not sure what you need doing there?

Yay, Jazzy! Thank you for heading up the Back to the Classics Challenge, that has been awesome! And for being able to do some other things too! So much opportunity! I'll message you with more thoughts!
I could do things like book discussions, or maybe matching if needed. I am very tech savvy, and can do google docs or spreadsheets. I am active, and would love to help!

THANK YOU Grace! And THANK YOU Nathan! I'm so excited to have your help! I can't wait to see all the new ideas and content in the group now with fresh faces!
If you still need some help just let me know I've got a ton of free time on my hands I'd love to help out :)

I've sent you a PM to chat more...
We welcome help in whatever capacity or commitment that works for you!
Below is a starting list of some of the things you could potentially take on. Some items would take just a small amount of time, others items could be more involved!
Monthly reads
- Help with the monthly reads process: creating posts for the nominations/polls/discussion threads etc. We typically have 1-2 themes/books per month, you could look after one theme or both. You could look after it monthly, or we could split the task and have two people do every other month!
PenPal Matching Challenges Helper
- Our matching challenges are popular, but they are time intensive to manage. Help Zoe execute these types of challenges quarterly (approximately)
Welcome Committee hello messages
- We have new members joining constantly! Help us in welcoming them, highlighting what's going on in the group, and connecting them with other members who they might have things in common with! We could have multiple people do this, rotating monthly.
Take on a 'Country' for the month
- we have a new country theme each month. Sponsor a country for the month (extra cool if it's your own country). As sponsor, you'd create the discussion thread and the mini-activity for that country for that month.
Upkeep of PenPal requests summary spreadsheet✔Thank You Sam!- (yup, we're behind and haven't added any of 2019 yet!). Experience/comfort working in a Google Spreadsheet would be helpful, but it's all set up, and just needs the content added, so super easy!
Lead the Scavenger hunt words challenge
- create a list of words and post in a thread seasonally/quarterly
ANY OTHER HELP or IDEAS are most welcome!
If you have an idea for an activity and would be interested to lead it, let us know! You can lead an activity on a one-time basis, or repeating monthly/quarterly/annually.
We're a growing group and would love to see increased participation, but we need some help to achieve this.
Please message me if you are interested. You can be an experienced member or new to the group, as long as you're keen to help and reliable for the follow-through.
