Tabletop Role Playing and Board Games

This is a time where players of all ages, and skill levels can gather and enjoy a nice Sunday full of Chess!

Let's check out the Maker's Market in German Village, a large outdoor Artisan Market, featuring over 65 Makers, Goods, Art and Delicious Food Trucks! Admission is FREE! [GVMM](https://www.gv-mm.com/) Let's get outside and enjoy the New Spring Season and Warm Weather! We will meet at Stauf's Coffee Roasters in German Village on South 3rd Street at Noon, 12 PM and then take a brisk walk to the Maker's Market, just south of Schiller Park. We can initially get coffee at Stauf's Coffee Roasters, if anyone may want to do so. Parking is widely available at Schiller Park and surrounding side streets. Thanks and hope to see you come out!

This month we’ll be reading Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett. Feel free to come and chat even if you don’t finish the book!

This event is hosted by Circleville Boardgaming Group. They meet every Sunday from Noon to 6 PM. Feel free to drop in anytime.

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 another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Our monthly meeting will be Sunday May 17th 1-4 PM This will be held at 4049 Garrett W Dr, Columbus, 43214 This is off of Olentangy River Rd, north of Riverside Hospital.

**🦋 Speed Dating Live on Zoom for Vancouver Locals Host Guided — Personality First** Joining means you'll spend your time in brief timed Zoom sessions with Vancouver locals paired by quiz results and age range, while a live host keeps things smooth throughout. Before the event, you take a quick personality and preferences survey — we use those answers to pair you with compatible Vancouver locals, so your conversations have a better chance of going somewhere. After the night, mutual match details are distributed — shared only when both sides chose each other — and what happens next is entirely up to you. **Sign up below — pick your age range:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Do not skip this:** An rsvp here alone does not secure your place, so select your age range link above, fill in the registration, and answer the personality quiz — capacity is restricted so act soon, and RSVP plus full registration is what holds your seat. --- **Quick Details** - **Format:** Host-managed in a hosted Zoom session built around structured one-on-one video dates, compatibility-matched within your age range. - **Where:** At-home — from your desktop laptop or phone, just a webcam and a good internet connection, and any location with good Wi-Fi and a camera works perfectly. - **Host:** A real human host ensures the rounds flow naturally and without awkwardness, which means nothing technical or logistical is on your plate — every transition and every call to move on is handled. - **Vibe:** Casual speed dating sessions with Vancouver singles who are here for the same reason you are, and the whole thing is better than you would expect. - **Duration:** Usually 60-90 minutes all in, though it always seems to go faster. **Great for:** - Professionals from Vancouver who have had enough of digital dating that never converts to anything real and want actual face-to-face conversation. - Returners near Vancouver done with swiping left and right with no results and want to talk to real people tonight. - Someone who live in Vancouver wanting to escape matches that ghost after two messages and prefer structure over ambiguity. - People who live in Vancouver done with matches that ghost after two messages and are after something more than a swipe can offer. **How the night runs** 1. **Start here** – through the link corresponding to your age range, then finish the personality questionnaire, because this is the only way to be confirmed. 2. **Enter the Zoom room** – by opening the Zoom link at the event start, any device works and no download is required, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely. 3. **Meet your matches** – timed one-on-one speed dates with personality-matched Vancouver locals in your group, with the host managing every round transition, because no round here is random — everyone was selected. 4. **Discover your matches** – mutual matches are shared post-event with your info staying private otherwise, since only mutual matches exchange details and everything else stays private, and from there you follow up at whatever pace suits you. ⭐ *"The host made everything comfortable — the personality matching really works"* – returning Vancouver attendee 💡 **Pre-event tip:** close unnecessary browser tabs before the event, so the rounds feel natural from the very start, since a short check now means no issues at the worst moment. --- ✨ One Zoom call, real conversations, real matches — grab your spot above and the host takes it from there in this batch. The rounds are better than you think. 🪷 ✨
