Do you want to help a fellow WikiTreer increase their CC7?

As part of our 15th Anniversary celebration in 2023, we're holding a series of "We Will RAWK You" events.  It's a lot like the WikiTree Challenge except that we work on the branches of five fellow WikiTree members.

RAWK stands for Random Acts of WikiTreer Kindness.

For our first We Will RAWK You in March, we worked on the branches of Gill Whitehouse, Cindy Cooper, B.W.J. Molier, Gaile Connolly, and Erin Robertson.  Over the course of a month, our zealous team of RAWKERS increased the collective CC7 of these five WikiTreers by 1,659!  We are currently wrapping up the second We Will RAWK You event in which we're helping Jutta Beer, John Tyner, Donna Lancaster, Nancy Wilson and Kathy Nava. So far, we've increased their combined connections by 2,035.  What will we be able to accomplish for our third event?

How it works:

There are three more We Will RAWK You events planned for 2023: August, October and December. 

A month before each of these events, we will put out a call in G2G for RAWK nominations. This is your opportunity to nominate another WikiTreer to be a potential participant in the We Will RAWK You Event.

After nominations close, the WikiTree Events Committee will randomly pick five of the nominated WikiTreers who will then get to be RAWKED. 

A month prior to each event, we will also put out a call in G2G for RAWKERS, WikiTreers who would like to help work on the lines of the 5 participants.  That's what this post is for!

On the 1st of August, we'll kick off the next We Will RAWK You Event. Everyone who signed up to help with research will have one month to work to see how much they can increase the CC7 numbers for the five nominated WikiTreers.

There are stickers for those who are RAWKED and for the RAWKERS.

Please click ANSWER to this G2G post by July 31, 2023 if you'd like to be part of the RAWKERS team for August.  

If you'd like to nominate someone to be RAWKED, please post an answer HERE.

Hi Betsy

Sorry but I did not see this post until now - is it too late to sign up for the August event as a RAWKer ?  

We had a death in the family in the middle of  June as I may have told you so were swamped with things that had to be done - but quieter now and I assume August will be the same.

Also, was there a G2G post about the June event ?  I never saw anything either.  Only saw that  Kathy Nava was the WTer of the week today and that led me to this G2G.

Please sign me up for August if still available

Hi Chet,

You're absolutely in time to join us for the August RAWK event.  I have you on the list.

The June event was in G2G here.  Just make sure that you're following the WikiTree_Events tag and you'll be in the loop.

I'm so glad that you'll be joining us again.  I know that it's been a difficult summer for you and your family and I hope that time on WikiTree can give you some respite and distraction.

Betsy

Hi - Thanks for your answer but I cannot find the "here" with no link about the "June 2023 RAWK event wrap up" - I see the March 2023 one but not june.  Can you please reply with the proper G2G Link as I am interested.

About Wikitree_Events I do not want to know all of them so I will sign up for "Wikitree_Love" as I see it includes the RAWK posts on G2G.

About this summer, despite our Record Heat Wave now in place for who knows how long, we are surviving and will get thru the rest of 2023 I am sure.  Thanks for your kind words.

Chet
Hi Chet,

There was no wrap up for June on G2G, but we did a livecast last Saturday.  Here's the YouTube link:

If you were looking for something besides this, let me know!

Betsy
I just reviewed the video and enjoyed "meeting" the RAWKEEs for June  - Thank you for the link, Betsy.  Looking forward to the August RAWK event.  See you in the forest, then.

Best

Chet
