Active Singles 40s - 50s

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott

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.

**🪷 Speed Dating Live on Zoom for Singles near Surrey** You get to cycle through rapid one-on-one Zoom dates with Surrey singles matched by age and personality, while the host manages transitions so you can focus on the person in front of you. As part of the process, a two-minute quiz captures your personality — those details are used to identify compatible Surrey singles for your rounds, so the format works harder than any dating app. Once it is wrapped up, we send mutual match results — with nothing shared unless both parties agreed — and you are in control of what happens next. **Your age group, your link:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Required step:** This rsvp does not equal a reserved seat, so select your age range link above, fill in the registration, and answer the personality quiz — capacity is intentionally small so get in early, and your place is confirmed only once you have done both. --- **Your evening, step by step** 1. **Claim your spot** – by tapping the link for your age group, then finish the compatibility quiz, as the quiz plus registration is what counts. 2. **Jump on Zoom** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, zero setup is required — just open the link, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely. 3. **Have your dates** – short one-on-one rounds with personality-matched Surrey locals in your group, as the host signals each transition calmly and clearly, and the people in your rounds were sorted specifically for you. 4. **Find your matches** – mutual matches are sent to you privately after the event ends, since non-mutual choices are never shared with either party, and once you have it you decide how and when to connect. **Who shows up:** - Members from Surrey bored of dating apps that go nowhere and want to meet real locals without the faff. - First-timers from around Surrey looking beyond the app treadmill that goes in circles and are serious about meeting someone. - Individuals across Surrey getting away from apps that waste evenings for no return and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Residents from around Surrey looking beyond swiping with nothing to show for it and prefer meeting people in person first. - Locals calling Surrey home getting away from dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for a genuine first impression. **About the Event** - **Format:** Dedicated and hosted via Zoom with back-to-back private rounds per pair, sorted by personality quiz and age for every round. - **Where:** At-home — on any internet-connected device, no special equipment — just a device with a camera and internet, and couch desk or spare room are all equally valid spots. - **Host:** A supportive host guides every round from start to finish, so the evening runs without a hitch — not a single logistical thing is left for you to manage. - **Vibe:** Comfortable video rounds with Surrey singles who are here for the same reason you are, and the host keeps everything comfortable throughout. - **Duration:** Usually sixty to ninety minutes from round one onwards, though times can vary slightly. ⭐ *"Better than expected — way better than anything I have tried before"* – Surrey local, first event 💡 **Worth knowing:** put your phone on silent before joining, and the host takes care of everything else from there, since small prep leads to a noticeably better experience. --- ✨ Done with apps — start here — grab your place above before it goes and we sort the rest this time. See you in the first round. 💕 ✨

**🌟 One-on-One Speed Dating Online for Richmond Singles on Zoom** Each evening, you'll experience brief timed Zoom sessions with age-matched personality-sorted Richmond locals, as a friendly host guides every transition. As you finalise your spot, you complete a brief compatibility form — we use those answers to put the right Richmond singles in front of you, so every round is informed by more than just looks. Once it is wrapped up, mutual connections are confirmed and shared — contact details flow only on mutual selection — and from there you take it forward at your own pace. **Pick your age group and register:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Two steps needed:** Clicking rsvp here is not the same as registering, so register through the age group link, complete the form, and take the two-minute personality quiz — spots fill quickly so do not leave it too long, and the quiz plus registration together hold your place. --- **What to do** 1. **Book your spot** – via your age group registration link, then answer the personality questions, as without this your RSVP holds nothing. 2. **Open the call** – at the event start time via your Zoom link, works anywhere with a camera and internet, and round management is all on the host from there. 3. **Connect** – timed one-on-one speed dates with compatible Richmond singles in your bracket, while the host runs the clock so you can focus on the conversation, as the quiz results already did the work of choosing who you meet. 4. **Check your results** – we reveal mutual matches once the session ends, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and you reach out whenever you feel ready. **Best suited to:** - Those throughout Richmond bored of shallow connections that never lead anywhere and want to try something that actually works. - Someone from Richmond moving beyond matches that ghost after two messages and want real chemistry over profile photos. - Professionals throughout Richmond done with matches that fade out before meeting and need a better way to meet people. - Locals from Richmond who are tired of dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for a genuine first impression. - Anyone at all who live in Richmond who are tired of profiles instead of real people and want to try something that actually works. 💡 **Setup tip:** run a quick Zoom test the day before, because background and lighting matter more than you would think, as the host manages the rest and all you need is working tech. --- ✨ Done with apps — start here — book your spot above and everything from there is on us before spots go. Real connection starts here. 🎯 ✨
