**Closed** Week 27 - Pay It Forward Curation Contest

Couple quick announcements before we get into the contest.

First on a really good note, we have had a few @pifc members recently become minnows! @trincowski, @brittandjosie, and @viking-ventures. It's exciting to see great people continue to grow and look forward to seeing each of your reach Dolphin!

Speaking of becoming a Minnow...Last week we allowed each entry to make suggestions for redfish which will be supported in the MinnowBuilder Program. There were some great suggestions and those who are part of the pifc family will get priority. Currently @minnowbuilder3 is in it's first round of share sales.

The last announcement is more somber, but at the same time an amazing reminder of the relationships we build here on steemit. I know that many already know this, but one of our own needs all the good vibes, prayers, or whatever you believe in sent his way. @wolfhart is battling cancer and starts his chemo treatments on Tuesday (today by the time this goes live). So for our friend and mentor to many in the @pifc family lets keep him in our thoughts today as he needs all the help he can get.

Now because the show must go on...not kidding @wolfhart made me promise to keep this going...lets get to week 27.

No changes of note so for the regulars go start curating and those of you who are here for the first time welcome and read below for the rules.

As always check back to this post often and scroll to the end to see a list of this week's curation entries!
