ππHAPPY BIRTHDAY COMMUNITY!!ππ
My how the time flies when youβre having fun! Hard to believe our little Community is already turning 5, ainβt it? It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the launch of our first forum, and now look at us!
Weβre more than just numbers though! Letβs take a moment to reflect on the many great memories weβve made together over the past year, like sharing Two Twosday Tips to celebrate our first and last (until 2422, that is π) 2-22-22 Tuesday, or reveling in the satisfaction of a mess of cables put to right in our Spring Cleaning contest. We welcomed two new members to our Community team (hi! π), added a Service Notices board to keep you informed, and shared stories of sustainability for Earth Day.
This next year is sure to bring even more great times together.
Let's party!
We are honored to be celebrating our birthday with all of you. If you havenβt already, be sure to sign the Communityβs birthday card. Take a moment to read through all of the great stories youβve shared in our Community Memories contest as well!
Finally, what kind of birthday would this be without presents? You canβt attend a party without getting a little treat of your own. As a token of our appreciation for helping us ring in our fifth year, members who log in on August 21st will receive a special badge.
Stay tuned! Badges will be applied later this month.
Year 5 Awards
Weβd also like to commemorate some of our standout members for their dedication and hard work through the years. Award winners will also be recognized with a special badge and swag of their own, so stay tuned for more info! I will be reaching out later about that.
π MVP π
@PhilipDAth is a legend here in the Meraki Community. If you read through the discussions here, you wonβt be able to miss his influence on our members. Philipβs been with us since the very beginning, and in five years, he has amassed nearly 12,000 posts (thatβs more than 6 a day!!!), 9,500 kudos, and 900 solutions. Letβs give a standing ovation to Philip who has generously lent his time and expertise to all of us here. πππ
π Rookie of the Year π
@speakerfritz stood out quickly for his contributions since joining the Community only a few short months ago. He wasted no time diving right into discussions and hasnβt shied away from helping his fellow community members, either! In three months, he has managed to average one post every 2 days (!!) and provide more solutions than anyone else who joined this year. Thank you for your outstanding participation!

π MVMs π
Of course, weβd be remiss if we failed to recognize the amazing contributions of our many fellow Merakians here in the community. It takes a village, and our little olβ community team could certainly not do it all by ourselves.

THANK YOU to every single one of our members for making the Meraki Community not only possible, but one of the best communities around.
