## [Breaking records](https://wordpress.skilledup.life/2022/01/07/breaking-records/)

We were working extremely hard to break a record yesterday and we failed by 1 volunteer sign-up. Our previous record of welcoming 100 Volunteers in the shortest time was 3 days. We wanted to reduce this to 2 days. In the process, we came so close but were beaten by 1, i.e. we acquired 99.
