Avengers’ Saturday Cafe for the Homeless

Note: You may be removed from the attendance list if you've participated in the previous week's event. This allows for more people to experience this Meetup. Avengers put your costumes on and let’s go and save the world!
Well we can’t save the world (yet), but we aim to try to play a small part in the lives of those experiencing homelessness by making their day a bit better!
Description: Before the event the organizer will post a list in the comment section of the attendees and what they are responsible to bring (food/drink, kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies). We normally ask each attending member to bring approximately $15-20 worth of ingredients/supplies to our event. We will use the items to prepare and serve food/drink at The Meeting Place.
Timeline: We will meet on location at 11:00 am, with lunch served between 12:30-1:00 pm.
Membership Dues: Membership dues are $2.00 for the calendar year. Membership dues go towards paying for food/supplies incurred by no-shows. Membership dues are due at the first meetup of the year that you attend.
No Shows/Late Un-RSVP: We’re relying on members who RSVP to bring key ingredients for recipes! Please try your best to show-up or alternatively change your RSVP early so another member may fill the empty spot.

Sunset at Sunnyside Boardwalk 🌅

Sunset at Sunnyside Boardwalk 🌅 Our last sunset event at Riverdale Park was such a wonderful experience that I've decided to make sunset gatherings a recurring event throughout the summer! Our next destination is Sunnyside Boardwalk in Sunnyside Park. This spot offers a beautiful sunset over the lake, peaceful waterfront views, and the perfect place to slow down after a busy day. If you're looking for an evening where you can simply sit, enjoy the sunset, and be surrounded by people who are also seeking a quiet moment of peace and genuine human connection, we'd love to have you join us. Meeting Location: Colborne Lodge I will be waiting at the meeting area starting at 7:15 PM to welcome everyone. At 7:30 PM, we'll leave together and walk down to our sunset spot by the water, where we'll settle in to enjoy the evening. Feel free to bring: • A blanket or something comfortable to sit on • A jacket because it might get cold by the lake • Water or your favorite drink • Snacks (optional) • Anything you'd like to read, draw, or simply enjoy while watching the sunset Looking forward to sharing another beautiful summer evening with you all!

Mob Programming at Mofer Coffee

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/xwjDdVSw3E **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.
