# Notes

<div class="text-justify">
It is our duty to uphold our standard as quality curators and creators. Keeping that in mind as you read the rest of this, do remember that it is the engagement that makes us great and thrive as a community. Our strength is only as powerful as the community in its combined efforts to support each other. We're doing awesome, keep the consistency coming!
</div>

## Weekly Pow-Wow

<div class="text-justify">
I think starting the the 12th of this month (11/12/17) we will begin having weekly chat sessions. We will start at roughly 8 p.m. EST and go until whenever. The purpose would be to familiarize yourself more with your fellow allies and go over any changes or suggestions people may have. We're a family, and want you all to participate in the growth and steady flow of Allied activity.

# The Noted Ones

<div class="text-justify">
#thealliance tag is very useful to keep track of allied posts and give credit where credit is due. I'm sure there are some great posts that didn't use our tag, but since this is @thealliance... These next few posts were chosen based on the value they have provided to Steemit users and the platform as a whole. Thank you for writing them!
