Howdy Squad! I made a video but I'll wrap it all up nicely here. 1. Congrats @Caroline Blanchard for being the winner of the June raffle! Because you signed up for Slik Skool in June, you were automatically placed in a raffle to win a copy of Rebel School of Wine! You rule :) 2. The July Leaderboard winner will win a bottle of Austrian Gruner Veltliner! This is a pretty little summer number that falls into the "new wines to love" category. All you have to do is Like, Comment, and Share posts and you'll rack up points. This means winning the equivalent of your monthly membership in one go, just by interacting with the chatroom! The winner will be announced on August 1st. Easy Peasy 3. I have noticed that the Q&As have been a little slow, and that could mean people are busy with their summer plans. I want to make sure that everyone gets a chance to talk with me every month, so I will open my Clanedly to you guys! Pick one, 30-minute session and we can talk about Slik Skool or answer any questions you have! This data will also help me pick the best times to host open Q&A. Sign up here > https://calendly.com/slikwines/30-min Y'all rule. Let me know if you have any questions. <3 Marie

Hello Squad! Something I liked about Skool was this 'gamification' aspect to get people interacting with the rest of the Squad. They let me give fun names to every level and originally I had Level 1 as Slik Squad, cause everyone is Slik Squad. I just changed it to Slik Scout. A scout is like a detective, and that's how I feel people are when they first come to a new space. They keep on the down low, they poke around to see if the coast is clear and people are legit. That is FAIR but I want people to be rewarded for interacting more! If you haven't noticed the more likes and comments you get, the higher of a score you get on your profile and you'll eventually be able to level up. You'll get access to certain things at certain levels. Right now you just get full access to On Wine Online if you reach Level 2 (pretty easy!) but at higher levels, I'll have access to giveaways, free in-person events, and some TOP SECRET stuff 👀 So let's get everyone up to Level 2! Introduce yourselves, say what you're goals or fears for wine are (even if you've already taken the course ;)), and give us your death row meal. I'll go first: - Marie "Danger" Cheslik - I would like to get more in-depth with winemaking! It's quite intimidating to me but it's also v interesting! - My death-row meal is a giant Korean fried chicken with kimchi cabbage and radish along with some french fries and a baller bottle of grower Champagne (maybe Jacques Selosse?)🍾 YOUR TURN!!
