Did you complete the 15 for 15, 30 for 15 or 45 for 15 mission and need a sticker?

Question

Did you participate in our 15 For 15 mission and reach one of the milestones?

If so, please answer below and let us know if you achieved the 15 for 15, 30 for 15 or 45 for 15 so we can get you the appropriate sticker. 

Thanks for participating and congratulations on hitting a milestone!

Comments

Yep, I would count that.

---

Do the Thank you's automatically record or do we have to track them ourselves?

---

Well I somehow had these replies go to a Spam folder (still no idea why some WikiTree emails end there but most go to the inbox) and thought no one ever followed up. I had an ongoing log after I completed the initial 15 but never posted to get a sticker because, again, I was unsure if the activities were applicable (instead of "counted" since the word appears the confusing culprit  :) ]

 Is this still something available to note- and the place where I need to post what I did for finishing the 30 and 45?

   Cheers! Becky Elizabeth (Simmons-11603)

@Alice: Thank-yous do not track automatically. We need to record them on our own.

Since this is "do 15 of these in every month of the year," it would be very difficult to qualify if you  haven't started logging  thank-yous before now.

---

Am I too late to work on completing 15 missions for 2023?

---

Ellen is it to later for me to complete 15 missions for 2023?

---

Not too late at all! Most of the missions are not dependent on doing something every month of the year.

You may have completed some of the missions already, based on your edits and other activities since January 1st. :-)

---

Ellen thank you for mentioning that. I will have to go back and see what actually I have done since January.  What a wonderful suggestion.

---

@Matthew and anyone else keeping track, it's not difficult to create a free space page to track your 15, 30, 45. A lot of WTers have done this, and then you've also created a free-space page, which you may be able to count against that mission. So what you would do is copy the list of all the missions from the January post, then edit it with the items you've completed. I enjoyed doing this because it was my first effort at creating a free-space page, and great for learning.
