One Year Anniversary - a Posting Contest

_{Img Src}

Hello Everyone,
It's been a highly caffeinated year on the blockchain, as today, February 6, marks the one-year anniversary of Cinnamon Cup Coffee community.
I wish to express sincere appreciation to all community members, and other contributors to the community, for helping us to grow, and continue to thrive.

Cinnamon Cup Coffee started out as an independent community, with a handful of members who have remained loyal. Thank you to all #subscribers and #loyalty-members who continue to abide by community rules, in an attempt to keep the standards of the community, and the blockchain high.
Over time, our active presence, and reputation as being a friendly, social hub on the blockchain, garnered the support of OCD Communities Incubation Program, which has facilitated exponential growth of the community.

The community continues to curate quality coffee posts with a weekly compilation post, and we host occasional Coffee Writing Contest to boost community spirit and participation through our creative writing spillthebeans series.
