New Board Member
Welcome to our newest Board member, Teeebone! You might know him as a DJ at PPMT, a tech host for one of our many online events, the writer of the long-running newsletter column dedicated to CSPC history, or one of the many other ways he has contributed to the CSPC community over the years. As a member of the CSPC for over 18 years, Teeebone has served in every in-person event-facing role including party champion, setup/strike, cashier/registration, party ambassador, DJ, monitor, host, tech host, and EC. He has also served behind the scenes designing event posters, writing for the newsletter, developing the new party guide program, and supporting major events like Pride and the Frolic. His deep historical knowledge of the CSPC, his experience in building and supporting volunteer teams to ensure long term success, and his willingness to devote his energy to the growth and evolution of the CSPC will make him a strong team member on the Board. Please join us in offering him a huge welcome as he takes on yet another volunteer role supporting the CSPC!
Volunteers Make the Hotness Happen!
The CSPC needs you! Volunteers run all our sexy events and take on all the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our community running smoothly. As the number of events we offer grows, so does our need for more volunteers who can share the load–many hands make light work! Whether you want to join a team that works behind the scenes, become a regular volunteer at a specific event, or pick up occasional last-minute party shifts when a regular volunteer calls in sick, there’s a volunteer role just right for you! Give back to your sex-positive community and get free entry to events you work (pre-purchased tickets can be moved to a future event if you take a last-minute party shift). See our Volunteering web page for the simple steps to become a volunteer today!
Volunteer Appreciation!
Volunteers create all our fun parties, keep our events safe and even take out the trash and clean the floors. Without you, none of this kinky fun would be possible!
As a “Thank you!” for all your hard work, the Board is putting together a day of fun in the sun on Sunday, July 23 from 12 to 6 p.m. Current CSPC volunteers with active Volgistics accounts (as well as up to two guests) are invited to this free, outdoor play party. (As this is outdoors, masks are optional.) Come on out for socializing, home cooked food, a swag raffle, lots of play time, and a pile of thank you's.
Our outdoor venue is located in Snohomish; address will be provided via email after registration. Register here today! Please consider carpooling as parking will be limited. Carpooling can be arranged on Discord or through the Volunteer Google Group. Please note any dietary restrictions during registration.
Thank you so much for all you do for the CSPC family! We'll see you on the 23rd for a big ol' Smack on the Back!
Advanced Volunteer Training
Ready to up your volunteering game? Join us online July 24 for advanced volunteer training! From 7-8 p.m. there will be Registration training for anyone interested in facilitating our front-of-house operations. If you have experience in customer service and like the idea of greeting our partygoers while smoothing their way to kinky enjoyment, this could be a great opportunity.
From 8-9 p.m. we'll have a Monitor training classroom. Monitors are a key component of our mission. If you're passionate about consent culture, responsible kink, and just plain helping your fellow community members, please consider becoming one of our Monitors by taking this first step.
To sign up, simply follow these steps:
Log into Volgistics (if you haven't already created an account, use the new volunteer steps here to get started)
Select the “My Schedule” tab/menu item, then navigate to July 24
Use the “Schedule me” buttons to sign up for each class you plan to attend
A shortened link to the Zoom meeting is included in the shift information. Signing up in Volgistics for the classes will help us update accounts more quickly after each class as well as letting the team know you plan on attending (in case of any technical difficulties or similar, we can send a note to let you know what's going on).
If you have opted in for 'Schedule Reminder' communications, you will also receive the link via email 2 days before the training.
A couple of notes on training:
Monitor class attendees will have completed the first step on the path for monitoring. You'll work with monitorlead@thecspc.org to schedule shadow shifts for training with a monitor at events before you will be able to sign up for monitoring on your own.
Registration class attendees should be ready for shifts right away (please allow up to 1 week for Volgistics to be updated after class)
If you have any questions please send emails to eventsdirector@thecspc.org.
Hope to see you there!
Frolic Stewardship Day
Join us for the Frolic Stewardship opportunity in Buckley at Grove Getaways on Saturday, August 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and they will feed us! Please register here to receive all the necessary information and so we can tell them how many to expect so they have enough food to feed everyone.
This is outdoor work: cleaning, landscaping, building etc., to each person's capacity. Bring gloves, a water bottle, and wear "get dirty" clothes (not that kind, the other kind). The event starts around 9:30–10 a.m. Stay as long as you are able. Feel free to bring your own tools, but make sure they have your name on them.
These are amazing people and you are sure to have a good time. You will leave tired in body but reenergized in spirit!
Sign up today!
