If you are interested in hosting either the Pick-It-For-Me or Monthly Challenge for one month, during early 2015 (February-April), please send a private message (PM) to either Fran (for the Monthly) or MountainKat (for the PIFM).
They will give you all of the rules and guidelines for hosting and let you know about availability. If you would like to host a month later in the year, don't worry, there will be another opportunity to volunteer in a few months.
Don't be shy! If you have been an active member of the RRRC for six months or more, have participated at least three times in the challenge you would like to host, why not see if hosting is something else you might like? It can be as addicting as the challenges themselves!
