Do you live in the Southern suburbs? Want to explore what the Southern suburbs has to offer? Or are you just interested to catch-up with like-minded people? Once a month Steph hosts our Southern socials. It is a great opportunity to meet others. Our emphasis is on fun whilst helping and supporting each other. The socials include drinks and chats, casual coffees, dinners and other activities suggested by members from time to time. Our socials are informal and open to all. We pay for own food and drinks individually and there is no charge for the organisation of the events. We hope to see you!

The hilarious Birdman Rally is a long-held Moomba tradition that sees competitors hurtle themselves off a platform over the Yarra River to see who can fly the furthest before splashing down. The rally runs from 11 am to 12 pm on Sunday, 8th March, and the platform is usually on the North side/City side of the Yarra, so it's best photographed from the south side. Our meeting point will be behind the Alexandra Gardens Skate Park on Boathouse Drive at 10:30 am.

Hi guys, Bit of a last minute thing but if any of you would like to come along to the Mommba Parade, feel free to come along and join Christian Gatherings. The Moomba Parade is one of the highlights of the Moomba Festival. It features a massive array of floats, dance troupes, community performance groups. The Parade starts at the Shrine of Remembrance, runs along Birdwood Avenue and finishes at Linlithgow Avenue. We’ll meet at the Australian in front of the Australian Hellenic Memorial at 10:10am (Look for a very tall man in with a dark blue hat and head down to get our positions to watch the parade at around 10:30am. We’ll watch the parade (about 1 hour) before heading down to the Southgate food court for a casual lunch at around midday. As it the custom with Christian Gatherings, at the lunch, we will have a short conversation with a Christian theme. Given that this is Labour day (celebration of the 38-hour work week), I thought we would have a conversation about work and rest. So the topic is: “What do you feel about work and rest? What do you feel is the role of work in our lives and the role of rest in our lives?” What to bring: · hat/sunscreen (weather prediction is warm, shade is limited whilst watching the parade) · snacks/drink/water etc. for yourselves whilst watching the parade · money etc. to buy your lunch (optional) at Southgate food court

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

We will have our certified mediums available and you can receive 3 10-minute readings for $20. To keep you safe, we will be following all CDC and Health Dept. guidelines at our psychic fair today. Sitters and readers required to wear a mask. We will maintain a minimum of 6 foot physical distance during readings. Please, if you can, bring your own portable chair to use during your readings.
