Schedule for Round 3
It seemed like just yesterday Round 2 Posting Claims were starting and now it's almost time for Round 3 to begin. As you can see from the schedule we've got a lot planned with more to come for Round 3. Like last year all check-ins will be optional.
The Monthly Events/Challenges will be a mix of short and long challenges. Hopefully everyone will have fun with them.
