2022
Introduction :
Happy fourth Connect anniversary to all my fellow Local Guides.
On 15th July, we are going to celebrate the 4th anniversary of LocalGuidesConnect (LGC) that we all love to bits. It’s incredible to see how LGC started, evolved, and became an important part of our lives.
On one hand, we are proud #LocalGuides who love to help millions around the globe with our contributions to Google Maps.
On the other, we love helping our #LocalGuides family members here on LGC.
Today, we would like to present an idea again which is the sequel of our I and my Co-host @OmerAli 's last year's campaign [Call for Meetup Leaders] – Unofficial LocalGuidesConnect Worldwide 3rd Anniversary Celebrations 20...
to show our love for:
*LocalGuidesConnect Platform.
*LGC Family, and its extended members.
*Googlers and every member of their team who keeps this platform up and running.
Idea :
So, what are we going to do?
We’ll do what we do the best, and by that, I mean adding quality contributions to the Google Maps as well as hosting knowledgeable meet-ups to transfer the skills that we garnered over these years.
Let’s show our support and love by organizing worldwide meet-ups to have a month-long #LocalGuides style anniversary celebration (Meet-ups to be held from 1st July 2020 to 31st July 2020).
As many of us are now allowed to step out of our homes, it is very important to follow the movement restriction orders and social distancing practices in your local areas.
We can contribute in so many ways and some of them are:
*Map editing walk (Solo or small groups)
*Geo walk (Solo or small groups)
*Photo walk (Solo or small groups)
*Food Crawl (Solo or small groups)
*Accessibility walk (Solo or small groups)
*Environmental meet-up (clean the world or plantation) (Solo or Small group)
*Knowledge Sharing Meet-up (Virtual)
and last but not least,
* Virtual meet-ups to share skills and knowledge to help our Local businesses during corona pandemic period, Accessibility, Travel, Google Maps Contributions and any topic you want to host.
Impact :
Let’s keep it simple. Shall we?
- Encourage newcomers on LGC to host their first meet-up or at least join one.
- Show our support and never-ending during the meet-up.
- Make only quality contributions to Google Maps and spread the never-ending love.
Act :
Sounds fun? Let’s get started.
Call for Leaders to host ‘Unofficial LocalGuidesConnect Worldwide Anniversary Celebration Meet-ups’ is now open.
Register your meet-up and give us a shout and we’ll update this post for others to see and follow.
Once, the Anniversary celebrations meet-ups are over and you have made your great Recap post, we will sum everything up with our LGC family.
