Comment: Added discord invite / blurb

...

There are several mailing lists associated with the club. I've added you to tech-squares, which is our main announcement list.  We also have:

tech-squares-rounds@mit.edu
for news about round dance stuff, like organizing early rounds before a Saturday dance

tech-squares-discuss@mit.edu
Where there are sometimes discussions and/or flame wars about club policy

tech-squares-social@mit.edu
where people advertise parties, stuff they are in (like plays or singing groups) and occasionally look for room mates, jobs, and homes for their used stuff.

a1-dancers@mit.edu, a2-dancers@mit.edu, c1-dancers@mit.edu, etc.
where people advertise dances at other levels that might be of interest to Tech Squares dancers, or try to organize a group to attend an event, etc. (We generally ask people to sign up for the highest level they are interested in, and all the levels below that, so there's never a need to advertise a given dance on more than one list.)

challenge-discuss@mit.edu
Where dancers chat about whether some piece of choreography is legal, how to interpret some weird stacked concept they ran into, why a call is defined the way it is, and that sort of thing.

You can add yourself to any of these lists by going to http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tech-squares , replacing tech-squares with the name of the list you'd like to subscribe to, or by letting us know.

You can also join our Discord using the following link: <link here>.The Discord is limited to club members, so please don't share this link with anyone. If someone wants to join but doesn't have the link, they are welcome to email us. The discord contains various channels with many of the functions of the above email lists (socializing, advertising other dances or fun events, organizing administrivia within the club, etc).  

You should also be aware that Tech Squares has a Safer Dances Policy. If you have concerns about anybody's behavior (inappropriate physical contact, unwanted sexual attention, etc.), we encourage you to reach out to a safer dances coordinator (safer-squares AT mit.edu or in person) or another officer.

We have a wiki with lots of information on it. To access the wiki, go to https://wikis.mit.edu/confluence/display/techsquares.

Since you've attended at least 4 of the last 15 dances, you're now also a voting member, and can vote during elections.  For more information about voting membership and elections, you can refer to our constitution at http://www.mit.edu/~tech-squares/govdocs/

If you have any questions or need to contact the officers for any reason, you can contact us at squares@mit.edu, or you can refer to the specific officers at http://www.mit.edu/~tech-squares/officers.html .

Welcome again, and we're glad to have you with us!
