What we most need help with is staffing for events (taking entry fees, making drinks), but if you're interested in contributing in another way (eg. space maintenance, organizing events, fundraising) we welcome that all too. If you can't make it but want to help, feel free to message us directly.

The title "Chinese Taipei" was crafted in 1981 to protect the Nationalists' claim to the whole of China. Now, Taiwan cannot compete as Taiwan due to China's interference.
