This is a casual meet & greet for healthcare practice owners, administrators, and revenue cycle leaders from new or growing practices who want to connect with peers facing similar growth challenges. The goal of this event is simple - build genuine connections with peers navigating practice growth, operations, billing, and administrative challenges.

**Please note new start time of 6:30!** We will start promptly at 6:30 pm. *Rain is possible all week. If we get significant rain, we may have to shorten the walk due to the road construction that has detoured the path off of the concrete onto a sloped dirt path that could be treacherous.* This is a dog friendly event. We stay on the deck at Red Horn so the fur babies can hangout with us! The route is an out and back. We will have a turnaround spot at 1.5 miles but anyone needing to turn back sooner is welcome to! No special shoes required. Bringing water is highly recommended. Afterward, all will be encouraged to hang out and have your preferred recovery beverage and/or food! I hope to see you there! Mike

Come out for a casual evening bike ride along Brushy Creek Trail East. We roll at 6:05pm and plan to ride for about an hour. Distance is flexible depending on the group's pace. The trail is fully paved, so any type of bike works. Road bike, mountain bike, hybrid, whatever you've got. All skill levels welcome. Bring water and lights just in case we're out past sunset.

Join us for a 30-minute **ONLINE Zoom** session ([Zoom link](https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82483940620?pwd=AKmYOoKbsHH5YMCRUOVVFmY8NCIFZS.1)) to learn how you can make a direct, lasting impact on foster and unhoused youth in Williamson and Travis counties. Our Program Manager will walk through what Learning Bridge does, how our tutoring model works, and why one hour a week can change the entire trajectory of a student’s life from uncertainty to thriving. You’ll hear how volunteers just like you have already helped hundreds of local students raise their grades, rebuild confidence, stay on track for high school graduation, and feel supported by a consistent adult who shows up for them. We’ll cover the weekly commitment, in-person and virtual options, and the real outcomes our students experience when they have someone in their corner. If you want your time to matter and you’re looking for a meaningful way to support your community, this short session will show you exactly how to get started with Learning Bridge. \*ONLINE EVENT\* Thurs, 4/16 @12pm Join on the [Zoom link](https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82483940620?pwd=AKmYOoKbsHH5YMCRUOVVFmY8NCIFZS.1) [Learning Bridge](https://learningbridgetx.org/?utm_source=meetup&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=meetup-apr) matches tutors with foster care and unhoused youth to give them the educational support they need to stay in school, improve academic performance, and achieve greater success later in life.

**\*\*\*RSVP ON MEETUP ALONE DOES NOT RESERVE A SPOT ON THE TRIP\*\*\*** **[About the Park](https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/caprock-canyons)** If you're looking for a stunning outdoor adventure, Caprock Canyons State Park in the Texas Panhandle is an absolute gem! This sprawling 15,000-acre park showcases gorgeous, rugged canyons shaped over time by wind and water, creating some truly breathtaking scenery. One of the coolest features? It's home to the official Texas State Bison Herd – you will spot these majestic animals roaming the landscape! With over 90 miles of trails, there's plenty to explore whether you're into hiking, biking, or horseback riding. The park also features prairie dog towns, camping options ranging from primitive sites to convenient drive-up spots, and spectacular viewpoints like Holmes Creek Canyon. Don't miss the Folsom Historic Site, a beautiful natural bridge, and the intriguing Fern Cave – they all add to your visit! **About the Work** The park rangers would like us to do trailway bridge work along with brushing trails. **About Transportation** Participants are responsible for their own transportation. Carpooling is encouraged; please contact other attendees on this trip to arrange your carpool. **About Lodging** We will be tent camping within the state park, at the South Prong area (no electrical or water). Participants are responsible for bringing their own camping equipment. **About Meals** Participants bring their own breakfasts and lunches. For evening meals, you and your cooking group (TBA) will feed the entire group one evening - this includes bringing and preparing the food, as well as dish patrol (washing pots/pans/etc.) **About Our Day Off** Sunday April 19 is our day to enjoy the park- participants can decide what they want to do during this day. There are usually hikes or other outings organized within the group. ***But wait - there’s more!*** On Saturday April 18, (after Palo Duro SP, and before Caprock Canyons SP) we get to check out a huge area nearby that is not open to the public, and won’t be for at least three years! The [Cross Bar Special Recreation Management Area](https://friendsofcrossbarsrma.org) is big - 11,883 acres. It is the only BLM land in Texas. We have received special permission to have them guide us across private property to get to the preserve. They are meeting us at the gate at 10:30am on Saturday April 18. It is about an hour drive from Palo Duro. The gate’s address is 9610 Brickplant Road, Amarillo, TX. After exploring the Cross Bar, many of us will proceed to Caprock Canyons State Park (2 hour drive) for another week long service project. **TO SIGN UP FOR CAPROCK CANYONS SP SERVICE PROJECT:** 1. **RSVP on Meetup.** The Meetup may show as full, but if you want to come, please sign up.

Dinner and dancing

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back 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!
