WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD? - Light rain is not a problem, only very heavy rain will lead to a postponement.

**Spring is in the air and to mark the occasion, as always - we'll be following tradition and hosting our 5th annual Easter Egg Hunt, exclusively for 20s and 30s.** Yep that's right - since 2022, we've hosted this yearly hunt across in Regent’s Park which combines a traditional treasure hunt with clues, a mix of fun, challenges and of course, plenty of chocolate. Over the afternoon - you’ll be working in teams to decrypt a series of clues that will lead to a number of secret locations across the park where we've hidden a number of eggs 🥚 Within each egg, you'll find a hidden task or challenge you must complete as a team - designed to test your ingenuity, creativity, bravery and team work. **Each successful challenge completed will earn you points and the team with the most points at the end of the hunt, will be crowned the champions 🏆** However, that's not all... as to hinder you and add an extra element of fun to proceedings – there’ll also be some Easter Dinosaurs roaming in the park, who'll be seeking to trying to hunt you down. If they catch you - you'll be at risk of losing points, so you'll need your wits about you to evade and escape their clutches 🦖 And of course - no Easter celebration would be complete without a trip to the pub - where you’ll be able to grab a drink and share experiences with those you’ve met along the way, after the hunt is over. It's always one of our most special occasions of the year and definitely one not to be missed this Easter! **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **ATTENDANCE FEE** Due to high demand, we're replacing the waitlist with a small £3.50 attendance fee to secure your spot.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
