How it works:
1. I will post below the name of someone I'm sending 1 bean to and what prompted me in choosing them. Once I've confirmed my posting was successful I'll submit that person their bean!
2. Whoever responds next (this may be anyone and does not have to be the person I've chosen) will pick another individual to mention and send them 2 beans
3. The next person will send 3 beans
4. Then 4 beans
5. And so on!
[ you get the idea ^_~ ]
Confirming your post before giving helps double check how many beans you're responsible for as well as make sure you've claimed a spot in the thread without any glitches. If someone else participates simultaneously as you and their post is showing up first claiming the same number, go ahead and "Edit" your post with a +1 to your bean count before submitting the gift to your chosen buddy.
You may contribute as many times as you like, as well as repeat someone previously mentioned. The goal is to see how high we can cultivate our Beanstalk together before Autumn semester officially picks back up in September at the start of the 2020/2021 term. This means we have two whole months of Summer from July 1 to August 31st at 11:59pm (HOL-time) to make as much progress as we can. Along the way, you never know when a notification and/or special mention could be the brightening point of someone's day or spark up conversation between new and old friends alike!
If you've never used the "send beans" option before on someone else's Member Profile through the main HOL site, the icon is demonstrated in the following image which showcases two horizontal arrows pointing away from each other (the top one going right, the bottom going left).
While we would love, Love, LOVE to hear any special reasons for who you'll be sending beans to at any given time —whether they've helped out somewhere or brightened your day(s) in even the smallest of meaningful ways— please, at minimum, include in your post the chosen person's Name and the Number of Beans you are sending them as a reflection of how big our collective Stalk is growing (i.e. "Sindor Aloyarc - 1")
Regardless of how high the total number gets, we'd like to make this as inclusive as possible for anyone who may not have had the opportunity to earn enough beans to participate. If you are interested in Volunteering to be listed as a Bean Donor, please respond or send a message giving me a heads up that you are open to being contacted for this as needs arise.
If you do not currently have enough beans yourself to contribute to the person of your choosing but would like to get involved, please feel more than encouraged to touch base with any of the following volunteers who will be happy to spot you some, if not all of whatever you need!
BEAN DONORS:
Sindor Aloyarc
