Winter is tough. It’s cold, wet, and gloomy. Lean into it. Get cozy with a cup of tea. Watch some feel good TV. Hang some fairy lights. Play some board games with friends. Summer will come back, so enjoy the peace and tranquility.

SEA-PAH Annual General Meeting
AWROO! It's that time of year again when SEA-PAH holds its annual general meeting! This is when we discuss the highlights of the year, go over plans for the future, hear reports from the current Board of Directors, and announce the winners of the election for members of the board and our annual beneficiary.
At this meeting, there is no Board. All attendees are MEMBERS of the organization and we all speak on equal footing. We hope you'll join us and let your voice be heard, make recommendations for the incoming board of directors, and work together to move the community forward!
This is a MEMBERS ONLY event. In order to attend, you MUST be a CURRENT member of SEA-PAH.
This meeting will be both IN-PERSON and on Zoom. A Zoom link will be provided on the day of the meeting.
Where? All Pilgrims Church. 500 Broadway E. Seattle WA, 98102
When? Saturday, January 13th. 5pm - 7pm

Dungeons & Doggies
The Tabletop RPG Night, Dungeons & Doggies, is here to stay as a monthly event! Have you ever seen games like Dungeons & Dragons and wanted to play, but been too intimidated to learn or struggled to find a group? Well on Saturday, January 20th at 2:30pm meet up with Asher & other folks at Phoenix Comics and Games to be walked through creating a character for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition or Pathfinder 2nd Edition, & then learn to play that character & the game in a short single session adventure!
The first hour of this event is dedicated to character creation, so if you have already made a character come by around 3:30-4pm to hop into a one-shot, or come by at 2:30pm to help people make characters or play short board games while you wait!
