ACX Meetups Everywhere: Fall Edition!

Scott is asking anyone who is interested in his blog to come out and meet in person!

What to Expect:
We have rented out a large event space and will be providing vegan food. This will be a mostly open ended meet-up with couches, chatting, games, drinks, and cool people. The "PEAR" sign will be outside of the building, but please call Sam at 513-432-3310 if you can't find it.
Please feel free to come, even if, like many of us, you feel awkward about it, feel that you're not the typical rationalist or effective altruist, are completely new to either community, or worry that people won't like you, etc.

Lightning Events:
If you would like to volunteer to help or give a lightning talk at the event, please fill out this form or text Sam at 513-432-3310.

Finding Us:
The "PEAR" A-Frame sign will be outside of the building, but please call Sam at 513-432-3310 if you can't find it.
There is lots of free parking 'behind' the Encorepeneur Cafe building near the residential area. Just put in directions to 1568 NE 16th Ave, park there, then walk two minutes to the original address of the event space.

Donations:
PEAR is going community funded! If you would like to support us and events like this, or even get involved in the organization of PEAR please consider one of the following donation amounts below:

\\0: \This is right amount for you if you are new to PEAR, if you are having any financial difficulty, if your donations are more effective spent elsewhere, or any other reason! You are super welcome!
\ \Attender 15: \This about covers the cost of your attendance at the event.
\\ Spotter 25: \This about covers the cost of you and a mysterious stranger's attendance at the event. Thanks, says the stranger!
\ \Core Member 60: \This covers the cost of your attendance at all 4 events in a year! Hola.
\\ Super Supporter 100: \This covers the cost of you and another PEARs attendance at all 4 events in a year! Super nice.
\ \Committee Member 250+: \You really think PEAR is a good place to be for its impact on Portland's intellectual development, social epistemology, and community! Practically this will give us some creative runway for events like Solstice, outreach, or other programs or reduce our need to ask for donations. There will be a dedicated discord chat for members in this level and we will get feedback from them on event ideas.
\\ Volunteero: \Volunteering to help out at any event is a good alternative to donation. Reach out to Sam (513-432-3310) before an event to work out logistics. (If you have the time for it and know the community well, consider joining the leadership team!)

To donate, you can use this Venmo QR code (Please state this is for PEAR in the tagline) linked directly to PEAR's bank account, otherwise there will be a QR code in the photos for this event and at the event you can scan.
