The .918 Club has announced that, three years after leaving its former campus, it has the opportunity to establish a permanent home on donated land in Willow Street. While the club has continued without a physical building, the growing demand for its workshops and collections has led it to seek a permanent facility. The new, purpose-built facility will allow the club to expand education and apprenticeship programs; provide safe, accessible spaces for demonstrations and events; preserve letterpress equipment and archives; and invite more students and printmakers to experience the living craft.

The .918 Club aims to raise $250,000 in donations and pledges to finance construction. As of May 11, from an online community of nearly 1,200 people, the club has received donations from 55 people, totaling more than $66,000. To donate, visit https://tinyurl.com/918Donate.

The .918 Club has also posted upcoming events. Its board of directors will meet on Wednesday, June 10, at 7 p.m. at Graphic Crafts, 300 Beaver Valley Pike, Willow Street. The club's membership meeting on Wednesday, May 27, has been canceled.

Letterpress enthusiasts will gather for fellowship and lunch on the first and/or third Mondays at the Dragon Hibachi & Sushi Buffet, 1858 Fruitville Pike, Lancaster. Attendees will meet in the lobby at 12:15 p.m.
