Hi there lovely Bloom Community!

In our newsletter today, we'll be congratulating our referral code winners and announcing some awesome upcoming events in the Bay Area, SoCal, and NYC. For folks in the Bay, there'll also be some opportunities to meet the Bloom team this month to put on your radar (we're a hoot!). Hope you have a wonderful week :)

BLOOM NEWS: Announcing Sex Toy Winners!

Thank you all for participating in our latest referral challenge! We would like to congratulate our winners who received a free gender-inclusive toy from Cute Little Fuckers - and in particular Abby and Jenn for being the top members with most referrals. 

If you missed out on this challenge, don't worry — you can still refer a friend to receive a gold star on your profile to show everyone on Bloom that you are Community Builder! To refer a friend, share the referral link on your profile under "Be a Community Builder."
