After hosting successful events, I always think that we could have done better and relate it to our day to day life and make it educational. In this connection, I wanted to show off my investment and trade hat and organize series of Happy Hours around Investment & Trade. We will have speakers from different sectors and industries, at each Happy Hour. At this particular event, the speakers will discuss retirement savings with an overview of annuities and how they can be used in retirement. Topics will include: * Today’s retirement savings challenges and approaches * Sources of income in retirement * Annuities and how they can be utilized for retirement savings and income • RSVP is required. The address will be sent to members who RSVPed, before the Event. Enjoy!

**Curious about Bitcoin but tired of the hype, the jargon, and the noise?** Join us for the very first meetup of **Wealth Building and Alternative Investments** — an evening built for everyday investors who want to understand Bitcoin clearly and, just as importantly, learn how to hold it safely. Whether you already own some Bitcoin, are thinking about your first purchase, or just want to understand what all the fuss is about, this session meets you where you are. No prior experience needed. **What we'll cover:** * Why money keeps changing — and what inflation and rising debt mean for your savings * What actually makes Bitcoin different from the thousands of other "cryptos" out there * The crucial difference between *owning* Bitcoin and holding an IOU (the lesson FTX taught the hard way) * ETFs vs. true ownership — what you really have when you "own" Bitcoin * How to store and secure your Bitcoin so your keys are truly yours * Practical first steps you can take right away **About our speaker:** Niko Stines is a Bitcoin security consultant and the founder of Hard Block Consulting. Drawing on nearly a decade in the Bitcoin industry, he specializes in helping everyday investors understand and secure their Bitcoin — without the hype or the jargon. His work centers on a simple idea: self-custody is a skill anyone can learn, and owning your keys is the difference between holding Bitcoin and holding a promise. Come with your questions. Leave knowing more than most investors ever will. ☕ Free to attend · All experience levels welcome 🗓️ Tuesday, June 30, 2026 3 PM to 5 PM 📍 Perfect Office 14502 Greenview Dr. Suite 500, Laurel MD 20708

Most families work hard for years yet still struggle financially because they were never taught the principles of building, protecting, and transferring wealth. While schools teach people how to earn money, very few teach how to make money grow, protect income, reduce financial stress, and create long-term stability for future generations. In this exclusive Private Financial Blueprint Session, licensed financial professional Sandy Osei will walk attendees through practical financial concepts and strategies commonly used by financially successful families. This workshop is designed to help individuals and families better understand how money works and how to make smarter financial decisions in today’s economy. During this live online session, participants will learn: • The financial habits wealthy families teach their children early • Common money mistakes that keep families financially stuck • How to protect income and prepare for unexpected life events • Strategies to begin building long-term wealth and financial security • Ways to create more financial freedom, options, and stability for future generations • Important financial concepts many people were never taught in school This is not just another motivational webinar. The session is focused on education, real-life application, and actionable steps attendees can begin implementing immediately. Because this is a private session, seating is limited and available by application only. The workshop is open to serious applicants located in the United States and Canada who are ready to improve their financial future and gain valuable financial knowledge. Whether you are starting your financial journey, trying to break generational cycles, or looking for better strategies for your family’s future, this workshop was created to provide clarity, education, and empowerment.

Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/ ======================================= A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017
