<h2>Hey Friends!</h2>
<LeadText>
<p>
After a month of welcoming new community, we’re decided to take some
time outside! As programmers, we spend all day in front of the screen.
Let's get folks out and about!

<h2 className="my-5">💡 What's happening at Virtual Coffee</h2>
<h3 className="mb-4">July Recap: New Member Welcome!</h3>
<p>
We spent the month opening the space up to new members. Having an influx
of new folks in the space keeps the community healthy, thriving, and
moving forward. Cheers to all our new members!
</p>

<h3 className="mb-4">August Challenge: Photography Challenge!</h3>
<p>
This challenge asks 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 want to see
all the cool things our members get up to. So we’re asking 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.
