Happy 5th Birthday Dear Connect!!!
It is an eminence pleasure to celebrate the 5th birthday of my favorite platform Connect Forum. Yes, this year is exceptional, no physical celebration, no physical meetup, but still, I am in celebration mode.
I have attended two special meetups organized by @ShahMdSultan from Bangladesh (Let’s Celebrate Connect’s 5th Birthday ) and @PritishB from India(50th Meetup (virtual) of West Bengal Local Guides & Connect’s 5th Birthday celebration ). It was a wonderful meetup and we celebrated our own way!!!
Local Guides connect forum is such a place where I got many friends from around the world. I get to know the different culture, cuisine, places through this platform. It is an amazing platform to browse variety of things and locations. As well as I love the challenges given by the Google Moderators and Connect Moderators from time to time. Though it has been only 1.5 years for me in connect forum, but I feel that I was always been a part of the connect.
Thanks Connect !!!
I had planned to organize a physical Meetup on the occasion of the 5th year celebration. But the current covid situation in my country, it is hardly possible to make such arrangement. I really hope that when this pandemic end, we will celebrate connect ’s birthday!!!
On this occasion, we made a Special 5th year celebration T-shirt and MASK. It was really tough to make this thing in covid 19 situation. Most of the manufacturing garments are almost closed and the delivery process is slow in certain areas. After a great hurdle, I could arrange the special T-shirt and Mask. I wish that someday I will wear this T-shirt with our local guides in future meetup!!!
Happy guiding
Happy Birthday Connect!!!
