Globetrotters Weekly News — July 6

Welcoming our newest editor and our July monthly challenge

Hello Globetrotters!

Hope everyone is having a great week! 🙂💛⭐🎇

Considering the way we’ve been growing, it’s not at all crazy to expect that by next week Globetrotters will have well over 1,000 followers! Amazing! As of today we are at 953.

In roughly a month and a half’s time, more than 400 new followers have been added. Not sure where all this growth is coming from, but what does it really matter anyway. Glad that our little pub is doing so well!

A big thank you to Warren Patterson for providing us with such a great foundation from which to grow!

Other than that, the biggest news this week is that Anne Bonfert has officially joined Globetrotters as an editor. So glad to have her officially aboard!

July Monthly Challenge

Our July monthly challenge has begun. We are looking for stories about your adventures with celebrations around the world. This could involve various holiday celebrations as well as festivals and really any type of celebratory event.

Crystal A. Walker provided initial guidelines:

While Anne Bonfert led things off with her story of participating in a funeral celebration in Ghana:

I contributed my own story of how much the freedom to celebrate means to me:

Here are some past Globetrotter stories from which to also draw inspiration:
