```text
Hi friends!
We're looking for suggestions and support on the monthly challenge team, especially next month.

If you're up for supporting next month's challenge, please let us know, and we'll add you.

Here's what we're specifically working on right now:
1. Do we want to use the [challenge name] challenge again?
2. Is there anything you want to see differently? What updates should we make for this challenge?
3. Does anyone want to write a blog post for Virtual Coffee on Dev for this month's challenge?
```

- If anyone agrees to mentor or support a monthly challenge, add them to the `#vc-monthly-challenge-team` channel for team communication.

#### Update the Challenge Page on the Website

⏳ **Timeline**: Anytime before the challenge starts.

✅ **Tasks**:

- Change and adjust the challenge page on the website to the current challenge and create a PR.

### The First Day of the Month

#### Update the `monthly-challenge` Channel on Slack

✅ **Tasks**:

- Change the `#monthly-challenge` channel topic and description in Slack.
- Give a brief description of the challenge.

#### Make an Announcement for a New Challenge

✅ **Tasks**:

- Announce the challenge in the `#announcements` channel and crosspost it to the `#monthly-challenge` channel on Slack.

📝 **Notes**:

Script templates are provided in each challenge file.

#### Blog Post

✅ **Tasks**:

- Drop the blog post about the challenge at [DEV](https://dev.to/virtualcoffee). Blog posts can be scheduled in advance.

📝 **Notes**:

A blog post is optional. However, introducing and promoting our challenges to the public and our members through blog posts is one of the good ways to engage folks to do the challenge with us.
