Hi Everyone!

I am currently working on the hosting schedule for the Monthly Challenge for 2016.

If you have participated in several of the Monthly Challenges, have been a member of the RRRC for 6 months and would like to host a month next year, please send me a PM.

I am looking to fill the February, March and April slots.

Duties of the Host basically include sending me a draft of the challenge (based on an outline I will send you), posting the challenge by the 20th of the month before, answering any questions that may come up in the suggestions/questions thread, congratulating the finishers and posting encouraging remarks to participants during the month you are hosting.


If that sounds in any way fun to you, and I promise, it is, please message me :)

Thanks!
