So we've got another Gaming and Health Day completed successfully, with exciting news on the horizon for our next event.  We will be continuing our partnership with the Westmoreland County Community College Gaming and Anime Clubs.  We're changing our location, however, in the hopes of providing a more convenient location for a larger audience.  The Courtyard Marriott in Greensburg (sits behind the Smokey Bones, and next to the Wal-Mart) has agreed to host us, which will put us conveniently on Route 30 for much easier access.  We're also switching the day to Saturday to allow for easier attendance from the public.  The goal will be to make the event more "Con" feeling, and with that in mind we're working hard to add to our list of sponsors and collaborators to bring more activities to the event.  That in mind, we're requesting a $5 donation (free to children under 12) for entrance to help to grow this event.  All donations and any money raised on our part will go right back into the Alliance which will help to defer the cost for future event attendance for us (which leads to more research opportunities) as well as directly into our gaming research, and our future educational outreach and programming opportunities.  Keep your eyes posted to our Facebook page, Twitter, and this webpage for more information as it rolls out.  We're all really excited.

As well, we're starting to partner up with Twitch.  This is a direct connection with our attendance at PAX East in March.  Look for weekly live streams to become regular events, as well as some scheduled charity streams throughout the summer as a kickoff to what we hope will be a year of interacting with our supporters across the country.  Additionally you should see some new headings on the webpage as we really start to develop our educational services in the coming month.

It's looking to be an exciting summer at Alliance HQ.  Please make sure to sign up for our newsletter, and check out our social media pages as we continue to keep you all up to date with what we're doing in the community and online. 

All the best,
- Steve
