Playtesting at LFG Con in Burbank (and potential indie selling)

Hey everyone! The SECOND LFG Con will be occurring August 13-16 at the Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel, and we have been invited to participate! Last year was a small but mighty event and incredibly fun, we strongly recommend checking it out! Learn more about the event here- [LFG CON](https://www.lfg-con.com/) Please note if you are interested in participating you **MUST** sign up via the below form, RSVPing to the event on Meetup is not enough. **Public playtesting** ***Friday, August 14th, Saturday, August 15th and Sunday, August 16th 10am-5:30pm*** This will be an Unpub-esque event where con goers can peruse the tables and sit down to playtest games. Any genre and length of game welcome! There will be room for 5-8 games to run at a time, depending on table space required. If you are interested in running a game, please apply to do so here- [https://tinyurl.com/lfgplaytesting](https://tinyurl.com/lfgplaytesting) (**Participating designers will receive a free day-badge** for running two time slots on either day, or a full con badge for running at least two time slots on 2 days. *IF you have a spouse/assistant who wants to come* and you would like a free badge for them, please sign up for at least 4 timeslots. Otherwise, we request that they purchase their own badge. Thanks for understanding!) **Indie Game Night Market** ***TBD*** This is an event for designers to sell games **that have no other channel for purchase**. These should be games that have not been widely published, and have no intention of crowdfunding or releasing in the near future. Your product must be a game, however it can take any form- a handcrafted work of art, a janky limited print run, or a grab-bag of dollar store items with a stapled together instruction manual for how to use them. If you are interested in selling a game, **please email Cassandra directly at cassandra@ixiongameworks.com**. (Participating designers will receive a free day-badge for Saturday.) Please reach out to cassandra@ixiongameworks.com if you have any questions. Hope to see many of you there!

Discussion and mutual support regarding divorce and separation.

Going through a divorce is most often a very challenging process - financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Your way of life may change dramatically as you are faced with legal and relationship conflicts, endless discussions, heated arguments, complicated negotiations, and a myriad of choices and decisions to make. Communication between you and your spouse, often difficult under any circumstances, may become excruciatingly painful as you argue about the custody and care of your children, how much time you'll each have with them, and who is going to pay for what. While you're in the divorcing process it is hard to be vulnerable and attempt to heal and complete the past. You are angry, your spouse is angry and fighting comes all too easy. And yet, just as you must resolve your legal issues, healing and completing is exactly what can and should take place. At this time it is important to have a positive support network - good friends, family and professionals who will listen patiently and give sound advice sparingly. You do not need someone egging you on with unrealistic expectations and hurtful strategies of punishment and revenge. The Marina del Rey Divorce, Separation and Mediation Group is a resource for support as you go through this challenging life transition. The group is facilitated by Dennis A. Cohen an attorney and mediator. Using a combination of education, exercises, group encouragement and sharing, participants receive support in coping with the divorce process, learning about the law, improving communication skills, and getting the perspective of others who are also going, through the challenging process of ending a marriage. Come join us.

Forte Animal Rescue Volunteer Orientation

Attention all dog lovers! If you’re interested in volunteering with an animal rescue organization, please consider Forte Animal Rescue, a 100% volunteer group. We need volunteers to help with our weekly adoption event, dog walking and dog transportation. We also need fosters for our dogs, so they don’t have to stay in a kennel until they’re adopted. We’re also looking for an experienced Grant Writer and a Videographer who can video and post our dogs on social media. And, of course, we're always looking for fresh fundraising ideas, too. Our volunteers are asked to attend an orientation on the west side of LA before they can volunteer with us. Orientations are held the second Saturday of each month from 12 to 4pm. If you think you’d be interested in helping us, please send an email to volunteer@FARescue.org for the application form and more details. You will also need a photocopy of your driver's license or other government issued identification. http://farescue.org
