Teen Fandom Club
Every 4th Wednesday of the month at 4:30 PM
Whether you're into fantasy, gaming, anime, sci-fi, mystery, or something totally different, this is your space to nerd out without judgment. Each month you and your fellow club members get to vote on a brand-new theme, so the fun never looks the same twice, one month it might be a cozy fantasy, the next could be retro video games. You'll have a say in where the club goes next.
