<h3 className="mb-4">July Recap: New Member Welcome!</h3>
60+
<p>
61+
We spent the month opening the space up to new members. Having an influx
62+
of new folks in the space keeps the community healthy, thriving, and
63+
moving forward. Cheers to all our new members!
64+
</p>
65+
66+
<h3 className="mb-4">August Challenge: Photography Challenge!</h3>
67+
<p>
68+
This challenge asks the community to get outside! Go out into the world,
69+
have some great moments and then bring them back to share with the
70+
community. We’re more than our times behind the desk and we want to see
71+
all the cool things our members get up to. So we’re asking everyone to
72+
share those moments of joy and fun and happiness with each other, and
73+
turn the space into a place of inspiration, wonderment, and beauty.
