Vic Park Community Games Night - Christmas edition

==== Christmas edition ====

Our last board games night of the year at the Victoria Park Community Centre is one week earlier than our usual 4th Saturday of the month schedule. We will be buying fruit mince pies to share with you all for this occasion. Feel free to bring some Christmas goodies.

==== Cashless sales ====

From November onwards, we won’t be accepting cash sales from our regular members for the board games night. This is to reduce the admin of going to the bank. We have a square reader, which accepts EFTPOS sales at $7.20 each ($7 sale plus fees).

==== Changes to Meetup fees ====

Meetup has now changed its relationship with PayPal and how they collect money for events. As such, the total cost for purchasing a ticket via PayPal or credit card is $9.13, of which we get $7.06 that covers the entry to the games night.

If you want to pay $7.20 by credit card instead of $9.13, please email hello@activatemh.com.au to receive a secure link via square.

==== About the board games night ====

2 weeks into the establishment of Activate Mental Health, group founder Rahul Seth pitched at a local crowdfunding dinner in Victoria Park that was hosted by the Vic Park Collective. Rahul won $890 from that night and donated a quarter of those funds to another mental health charity, but with the remaining funds purchased board games to start a monthly board games night. The nights have been running at the Victoria Park Community Centre since August 2016.

We provide share packets of chips and biscuits for you through the night, which are available from the kitchen. If you have the ability to pay a donation, such as loose change, we would be highly appreciative of a contribution. There is a money box available next to the snacks. Any excess donations will be spent on more snacks such as chocolates on future games nights.
