- The Clubhouse
Bring a dish, bring an instrument, bring neither — just come. Acoustic sets and community casserole.
We're building a warm, creative, slightly weird place to gather, make things, learn stuff, work, host, and loiter with intent. Doors open soon. The glue is still drying.

the house rules
Come hang out. That's the whole idea. Bring a project, a puzzle, a casserole, or just yourself. The bar for entry is a pulse and a mild sense of curiosity.
Workshops, skill swaps, craft nights, and classes taught by neighbors who know things. If it involves glue, thread, solder, or dough, we're into it.
Normal is a setting on a dryer. Around here, your odd hobby, niche obsession, and loud laugh are the price of admission — and we're happy to take payment.
Not home, not work — the clubhouse. The kind of place where somebody learns your name by week two and saves you the good chair by week three.
HELP BUILD THE THING
CHIP IN
Not ready for a membership but still want to help the clubhouse exist? Every dollar turns into chairs, paint, glue sticks, and a place for somebody who needs one. No strings — all gratitude.

every dollar becomes a chair, a class, a coat of paint
THE GRAND TOUR (ABRIDGED)
Nine-ish rooms, nooks, and excuses to leave your house.
We're opening soon and the mailing list hears everything first: opening day, founding memberships, and whatever we build out of the leftover lumber.
cheap fun, expensive vibes
Memberships keep the lights on and the coffee hot. Founding rates vanish the day we open — like a casserole at a potluck.
fresh on the corkboard
Bring a dish, bring an instrument, bring neither — just come. Acoustic sets and community casserole.
Scissors, glue sticks, old magazines, strong opinions. Leave with a zine you made yourself.
Claim a SpotTour the clubhouse mid-renovation. Closed-toe shoes, open minds. Coffee and donuts on us.
Bulletin board rules: if it's happening at the clubhouse, it gets pinned here. Check back often — the calendar fills up the moment the paint dries.
Everything on this board is make-believe — sample happenings to show you the vibe. The real calendar drops when we open.
THE LILY PAD IDEA
DFW is full of people doing really cool things. The problem? We're all out on our own little lily pads trying to make it work.
Artists. Small businesses. Teachers. Makers. Community groups. Nonprofits. Organizers. Parents. People with good ideas and nowhere to put them.
The Clubhouse is where the lily pads meet. It's a place to share space, audiences, resources, ideas, skills, and momentum.
ROLL CALL — WE WANT LOCAL:
Propose a workshop, an event, a club, a pop-up, a class, a gathering, or a collaboration — if it brings people together, we want to hear it.

Tell Us EverythingWE DON'T BELIEVE IN THE KIDS TABLE
A healthy community isn't age-segregated. We believe kids and seniors both belong in the middle of community life, not tucked into separate corners of it. Both deserve our care, but just as importantly, both have things to teach us.
Panther City Clubhouse creates opportunities for generations to know one another: to make things, tell stories, learn skills, play games, share meals, solve problems, and simply spend time together.
Because community isn't just people our own age doing life beside us. It's children growing up surrounded by people who have lived a little, older adults remaining deeply woven into the world around them, and everyone in between learning from both.
Thriving communities don't warehouse generations. They weave them together.
all ages, one table
RADICAL FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY
Most places hope you never ask where the money goes. We put it on the corkboard. Panther City Clubhouse runs on a profit-sharing structure: when the clubhouse does well, the people who build it — the teachers, the resident partners, the humans stacking the chairs — share in it. Members get a plain-language look at the books: what came in, what went out, and what's getting fixed next. No black box, no mystery fees, no fine print doing push-ups. Just a clubhouse that pays its people and shows its work.
