SPC is now on Discord!

In response to feedback received in our 2024 club survey, we have a new place to socialize online! Our very own Discord server is up and running. This is in addition to our Facebook group, which isn't going anywhere. And, of course, our in-person meetings are still going strong.

If you'd like to join the Discord server, you may use the Contact Us form to request the link. Or, if you're part of our Facebook group, the link has been shared there. You're also welcome to ask for the link during an in-person meeting.

Many thanks to volunteers Tad and A. Takahashi for setting up the server; Casey, Nicole, and A. Takahashi for serving as moderators; and Alicia for serving as initial coordinator.

Are you new to Discord and curious to learn more? It's available as both an app and a website, and it's essentially chat rooms organized into semi-private, specialized communities called servers. Only people with a direct URL to a community can join, hence why the link to join the SPC server is not publicly posted. Our volunteers are working on a Pen Club-specific guide and hope to offer live orientation events in the future. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, a general how-to guide is available.
