It does not feel like a year of #CoSocialCa - congrats to all CoSocialists! It’s been great to welcome a bunch of new members recently, and I look forward to having everyone work together on more things this year. Thanks @evan for the rallying cry of “we should do this” and everyone that got involved to get it going. https://cosocial.ca/@coop/111853592388866131
