Meet-ups mean a lot to Gazi. Beyond being a great way to communicate with and get to know other Local Guides, meet-ups are an opportunity to get out into the real world and make a difference for a community. This past year, Gazi hosted several meet-ups with other Local Guides to edit Maps and enhance local communities by planting trees.
