Greetings Stackers!

I have a few things bouncing around in my brain today. Where to begin?

First off, Happy Canada Day (almost) and Happy Independence Day (almost) to our stacking fam in Canada and the USA. I hope you all have some fun holiday celebrations lined up (or a least a bit of rest and relaxation). The weather in my corner of the USA is mighty fine, and I am looking forward to a weekend and week ahead of red, white and blue snacks. :)

^{I make this cake every year.}

Back to Canada... did you see this post from @fat-elvis?
Looks like there is talk of shenanigans in Vancouver, BC in September. Being not too far from the border myself, I am already looking at room options. Fingers crossed the stars align.

Membership

In other news, let's welcome a new member!

@mraggaj has been nominated into the community by @buggedout with a seconds from @welshstacker and @kerrislravenhill. I see him commenting on posts all the time, which is fantastic. He is a self-proclaimed "gardener and smoke connoisseur". If you visit is his profile you will see his current posting interests include silver coins, hydroponic vegetable harvests and cannabis. Welcome officially to the community!

Current Member List

Below is the up to date list of our current members. You will notice a few on this list have a number of years listed next to their user names. Every so often I like to check to see who is still on Hive. These folks have not posted nor commented anywhere on Hive in one year or more. In the interest of keeping our list reflective of who is still on the blockchain, I would like to remove these folks from the membership rolls. We've done this before, and everyone would be welcomed back if they return. It just seems funny to me to list folks who are long gone. If you are one of these people and have been lurking without posting... let me know. :) We miss you!

If you have questions about precious metals or just want to shoot the breeze, please join us on our Discord

On the blockchain, the Silver Gold Stackers community provides support to DELEGATING MEMBERS (who post about precious metals using the tag #silvergoldstackers) through the @ssg-community account. This account is run on both Hive and Steem. If you have questions about delegating, subscriptions via liquid hive or steem or have "missed a vote", please reach out directly to @buggedout (Hive) or @welshstacker (Steem) on discord. In order to promote interest in the community, the @ssg-community account will occasionally support others on the blockchain sharing about precious metals

The @myprecious account supports all members without a delegation or tag requirement.

And this brings another membership post to its conclusion. Have a fantastic weekend friends! Thank you for being apart of the Silver Gold Stacker community!

Cheers,

@dfinney
