🎤 PITCH YOUR SINGLE FRIEND – A Fun, Slightly Chaotic Saturday Night ❤️ 📅 Saturday, April 18 ⏰ From 20:00 📍 Pub LOO-BLAH-NAH Center, Ljubljana 🎟️ Entry: Free Ljubljana! Forget the apps. Forget the "swipe left" fatigue. On Saturday, April 18th, we are bringing the most viral dating event in the world to Pub LOO-BLAH-NAH Center. THE CONCEPT: It’s part PowerPoint night, part comedy show, and 100% chaos. The rules are simple: You (the wingman/wingwoman) get 3-5 minutes on stage to "sell" your single best friend to the crowd. Tell us why they’re a catch, share their most embarrassing (but lovable) traits, and show us their best (and worst) photos. THE FLOW OF THE NIGHT: 🔥 20:00 – The Pitching War: Watch 8-10 brave friends pitch their single friends. 🎤 The Hot Seat: After each pitch, a 2-minute "Rapid Fire" Q&A where the audience grills the presenter. 🎉 21:00 – The Color-Coded Afterparty: Once the presentations are over, we transition into a massive international social. THE INTERACTIVE TWIST (wristbands): To make mingling 10x easier, we’re using a color-coded system: 🟢 GREEN: Single and ready to mingle. 🔴 RED: Taken, wingmanning, or just here for the chaos. PITCHERS WANTED! Want to get your friend off the market? Sign up to present below. Limited spots available! IMPORTANT FOR PITCHERS: Please prepare a short powerpoint presentation — the style is totally up to you (funny, cute, chaotic… get creative 😄). \* Duration: 3–5 minutes�• Before the event email us your presentation.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
