Chapter status deadline nudge

Hi [NAME], ![👋][image1]

We're writing to check in on the status of your Proudly Serving chapter. We're excited to have you as a contributor, but we also need to keep the momentum going with both the chapter and the overall project.

Questions for you:

• Are you able to complete your chapter by Wednesday?
• If yes, how can we support you?
• Do you need to schedule a call or discuss via Slack?

If not, that's completely understandable. We'll just need to move your chapter to the backlog and promote the topic to others.

Thank you again for taking an interest in this!
