Featured New Member
As already mentioned when we did the introduction of this section that when we have new members we feature them first before continuing on our featured list for old members. We have two new members but will feature one today and another tomorrow and if we don’t have new member after them we continue with our list.

Next On The Featured Member List

You can send a summary of what your blog is all about in a memo to
Please members this is just another way of further helping ourselves to grow via promoting our own through upvotes, comments, resteem and anyway you feel you can impact positively on other members’ blog. It will be very nice if all members are showing solidarity with the member featured so that when it gets to your turn you receive similar support.
This will also help us know more about other members and learn/see what their blog is all about. This is a social platform and the more we engage with each other I think it should be the better for us all.
Thank you everyone as we continue to work together to grow because there is power in unity!
Note: This section may be reviewed as we move along to make it more effective as we continue to receive more feedback.
Leased SP Expiration & Extension
A 650 SP lease at minnowbooster will expire in 2 days time while another lease of 500 SP will expire in 3 days time. Our undelegated 400 SP to ub-sub1 will be returned to our account tomorrow.
I will personal add to what s left in our balance to extend the 650 SP lease by 1 week, I will allow the 500 SP to expire as our 400 SP is returned to our account. Power down should start tomorrow and in 7 days time we get the funding to lease longer term leases with the first batch of power down payout.
The intention is to transit to longer term leasing as the short term ones expire but in a manner that our SP is not heavily impacted so that members can continue enjoying better upvote rewards. So, I’ll personally fund any expiring SP for a short term of 1 week if it is helping to cover the gap while we move to longer term leasing.
Steem Basic Income (SBI) Shares
Members can also support us with Steem Basic Income (SBI) shares donation, SBI shares guarantees that the community post receives upvotes and the more SBI shares we have the higher the reward value we receive through upvotes. It is a very sustainable way of growing the community and Steem at large. You can read more about SBI in the link below:

We thank you all for your donations and really appreciate you.
Membership Upgrade
Some members have been kind enough to upgrade their membership by delegating additional SP to their current delegated SP. This is really helping to grow the community SP which in turn grows the value of our upvotes.
Membership SP delegation will help reduced our reliance on leasing SP. Help us grow this community to encourage the content creators that are poorly rewarded through the upvote value they receive. So we need the big time delegators to join us and reap the benefits available for all members.
