Find Your Personality Match - Make Friends (Age group: 25-45))
π **A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience**
Many of you have been asking about structured events and if Iβd ever bring them back.
Well⦠here it is - a new version, more intentional, and built around something I care about : **matching people based on personality.**
Over the years, Iβve seen how hard it can be to find people you truly click with as adults. Small talk goes nowhere, and most events donβt give you the space for real conversation.
π« **What to Expect**
This is not speed dating, and itβs not a big mixer.
Itβs a curated, one-on-one connection experience where youβll meet a few people whoβve been matched to you based on personality and vibe.
Expect:
* A cosy, comfortable venue
* A hosted structure so youβre never left awkwardly standing around
* A series of guided one-on-one conversations
* A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself
* This is not dating focused event, there will be a seperate one for dating
Each conversation is designed to feel natural β because the match is based on compatibility
Get your tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1986746381910?aff=oddtdtcreator
π§ **Before the Event**
Once you get your Eventbrite ticket, youβll receive a **short personality test (If you have already taken the test at a previous event you don't need to do it again)**.
It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors.
This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event.
πΏ **Come Join Us**
If youβre tired of small talk and ready to meet people who truly fit your personality, this is for you.
A warm, intentional space created for deeper conversations and genuine chemistry - whether it becomes friendship, something romantic, or just a surprisingly great chat.
RSVP now β spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
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, weβll help βcreate a better worldβ by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION β 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 β 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 youβll 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 another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
