<h2 className="my-5">💡 What's happening at Virtual Coffee</h2>
<h3 className="mb-4">August Recap: Photography Challenge!</h3>
<p>
The August challenge asked the community to get outside! Go out into the
world, have some great moments and then bring them back to share with
the community. We’re more than our times behind the desk and we wanted
to see all the cool things our members get up to. We asked everyone to
share those moments of joy and fun and happiness with each other, and
turn the space into a place of inspiration, wonderment, and beauty.
</p>
<p>
Also, pets! We asked the community to flood our challenge channels with
pics of their lovely pets and boy did they deliver! It was absolutely
lovely and probably a much needed fun time for the team.
