It was Bowl America, then Bowlero, and now Lucky Strike, also the name of an old cigarette that plays a big role on "Mad Men." But they still have good specials, like $20 for shoes and unlimited bowling several days of the week, so let's take advantage of it and get acquainted as we hurl balls down the lanes! And please, don't worry about your bowling skills or lack thereof. I seriously have lost track of how many times I've hosted a bowling meetup and someone's showed up saying "I haven't bowled in a while, I'm not very good..." and then gets the highest score. But it's not a contest, it's about having fun. See you there! The address is 1101 Clopper Rd, Gaithersburg MD.

Join us for unlimited bowling night! 🎟️ $17.99/person—includes shoe rental! 🎉 Let’s bowl! Join us for a fun, relaxed unlimited bowling night. 🔔 If plans change, please make sure to update your RSVP Look forward to a fun night out!

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
