July’s Hand Eye Society Staff is WORKING HARD Newsletter

Hey all! We’re hard at work at our various Hand Eye Society HQs putting in the work organizing the early stages of WordPlay 2021! Be on the lookout for updates on that very soon! Thanks again to all our current members and friends supporting us! We’ll make you proud! We promise!

We would love to welcome everyone to our official Hand Eye Society Discord channel! Join us! Hang out! Chat!

Note: Events may be cancelled, or change form, like a transformer, or like a popsicle in the sun.

Don’t forget, there’s Google Calendar, in which you can check out all of the events here in one handy, downloadable place!

You can also submit news about Toronto/GTA games and events to calendar@handeyesociety.com at any time before the month in which the event takes place (preferably with a week to spare), post to our Facebook Group (as long as it’s relevant to local games/playful media and doesn’t violate our Code of Conduct), or @ us on Twitter for a RT.
