War. Inflation. Hacks - you need hardcore protection for your Bitcoin! The SeedSigner is a revolutionary way to protect your Bitcoin. This user-friendly hardware wallet is easy to use and still very safe because it is completely offline, so hackers can't steal it. It is a great tool because it’s an air-gapped, open source hardware wallet that generates and stores the seed phrase of your wallet offline. In a way, the SeedSigner lets you store your Bitcoin without using a computer and that is why it’s more safe than any other tool that runs with a regular computer or mobile phone. If you want to protect your future with Bitcoin, this is critical! Most people store their Bitcoin on exchanges or software wallets, which are constant targets for hackers and scams. If you understand Bitcoin (or want to learn more about it now) you are in it for the long run and not just for short gainZ. Over time, the probability of a security breach approaches 100%, meaning if you don't control your private keys with a device like a SeedSigner, you will almost certainly lose your Bitcoin eventually. You might not lose it today or tomorrow but who knows what is going to happen in 10 years or in 100 years when you want to pass on your Bitcoin. Join us if you want to learn about hardcore protection for everyone. \*no condom needed, the SeedSigner is safe Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/events/773449915623897](https://www.facebook.com/events/773449915623897) IG: [https://www.instagram.com/p/DWoCG_BjKSW](https://www.instagram.com/p/DWoCG_BjKSW) X: [https://x.com/cryptohubmalta/status/2039646887381233897](https://x.com/cryptohubmalta/status/2039646887381233897)

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.
