MCRC Discord Channel
In an effort to create more options for our members to connect and get answers to tech questions, we've set up a Discord channel for member communications. Discord is an online text forum & voice chat application for your computer or phone. It's a great place to get club announcements and tech help in a chat format.
If you're already a user of Discord, or brand new to it, you can use this link to request access to the MCRC group: request member access to MCRC Discord Channel

Supporting the National MS Society Cause
Steven Phares, one of our own members, is riding in the "2026 Bike MS Bay to Bay" ride from Irvine to San Diego with Team Disney. The ride is a fundraiser charity for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This will be Steven's 21st year in a row riding for the MS Society.
The National MS Society makes a real difference in the lives of people affected by multiple sclerosis. This year Steven is aiming to raise $1,000 to support vital research, programs, and services that help people living with MS live their best lives. We encounrage MCRC members to assist him in reaching his goal!
