Facebook gives us a chance to not only build friendships and thrive in the community but also enliven groups. As group admins, it’s we who open the virtual doors wide to extend a welcome to all those joining our online family. So, why settle for a mundane hello when we can drumroll, pop the confetti, and make their entry a joyous occasion?
