**Welcome to Paradise!** **Nosy Be, meaning "big island" in the Malagasy language**, is a beachy paradise located 8 km off the northwestern coast of Madagascar. **It's in fact a volcanic archipelago with a** **warm tropical climate, pristine white-sand beaches, eleven crater lakes,** and habitats which are home to numerous endemic plant and animal species. At 320 square kilometers, Nosy Be is the **largest island of an archipelago**, and its several smaller neighbors nearby make it the ideal place for island hopping and sampling an array of picture-postcard beaches. One of the main attractions of the archipelago is its marine life, and waters surrounding many of the islets are **excellent spots for scuba diving and snorkelling**. The French colonized Nosy Be from 1840, founding an outpost named **Hell-Ville** which became an important trade harbor in the Mozambique Channel. Now the capital, the city offers French colonial buildings and a glimpse of day-to-day local life at its lively markets and craft centers. In the southeast of Nosy Be is its most famous attraction: **Lokobe National Park,** a 740-hectare sanctuary known for its rare panther chameleon population, black lemurs, geckos, frogs and much more. One of Madagascar's five Strict Nature Reserves, Lokobe encompasses **an old-growth forest with ancient endemic tree species** – the last remaining primary rainforest on the island. A wildlife-spotting trek through this lush coastal haven brimming with ylang-ylang, orchids, palm trees and ferns is an experience to remember. **Ready to explore the islands of your dreams? Let’s go!** **DAY 1 // ARRIVAL IN NOSY BE** Meet at DXB at 2am for a flight via Addis. Arrival, immigration procedure and one-hour drive to our beach-side hotel, where we’ll be based for the duration of the trip. We’ll settle in, indulge in the beautiful surroundings and head for a sunset to Sakatia. **Sunset at Sakatia** A short boat ride off the west coast of Nosy Be is Nosy Sakatia, a road-free island with picture-perfect beaches, rare birds and endemic flora. What it’s most known for, however, is its coral reef teeming with ocean life. With its marine ecosystem located inside a protected area, the island’s waters offer an unforgettable snorkelling or diving experience. **DAY 2 // HELL-VILLE & MONT PASSOT** We’ll enjoy a relaxing morning, with a trip to the local crafts market for those who are interested in purchasing a souvenir. After lunch at the seaside, we’ll drive about an hour to reach the highest viewpoint in Nosy Be – the dormant volcano Mount Passot. From more than 300m up, we’ll have a magnificent panoramic view of Nosy Be’s volcanic lakes, the surrounding islands, and the sparkling, multi-hued coastal waters. We’ll settle in and enjoy a beautiful sunset before heading back to the hotel. **DAY 3 // LOKOBE NATIONAL PARK** Early departure this morning as we embark on our first adventure, in Lokobe National Park. We’ll hit the road towards the southeast of the island, passing by the capital of Hell-Ville. After about an hour we’ll reach the village of Ambatozavavy, where we’ll pile into local fishing boats and make our way through dense mangrove forests to reach the park. Our 2-3 hour, ranger-led hike will take us through dense forest and lush greenery, where we’ll keep our eyes peeled to spot endemic wildlife and plants, including lemurs and rare chameleons. When we’ve had our fill of exploring, we’ll head back to our lodgings, stopping for lunch along the way. Afternoon at leisure for swimming and relaxing on the beach. **DAY 4 // NOSY ANTSOHA & NOSY IRANJA** Today we have another magical island excursion, taking in two of Nosy Be’s neighbors. First we’ll make a stop at tiny Nosy Antsoha, where a nature walk will bring us face-to-face with the three different species of lemurs which call the island home. We’ll continue on to Nosy Iranja, connected to Nosy Be by a sandbank that is covered during high tide and revealed during low tide. Its shores and shallow waters provide a habitat for sea turtles, hence its nickname of “Turtle Island”. In this beautiful, white sand paradise, the inviting waters appear in every shade of blue. We’ll tuck into a picnic lunch on a dreamy beach and enjoy our little piece of heaven. Return to our lodgings in the afternoon and evening at leisure. **DAY 5 // DEPARTURE** Morning time at leisure until we say goodbye to paradise and transfer back to the airport for our flight home. **Grade:** easy and relaxing tropical holidays. **Activities:** island hopping, trekking, sightseeing, beach strolling, boating. Optional diving. **Accommodation:** Beach side hotel and spa, shared rooms. Single room at extra cost, subject of availability at the time of booking. **Meals:** Lunches and dinners excluded. **Cost: 5,500 AED excl. flights.** Cost valid until **MAY 20th**.

Neighboring nations **Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania** are three tiny, yet unique, countries tucked away in the Northeastern corner of Europe. All having suffered turbulent journeys to achieve independence from Soviet rule, they offer an intriguing glimpse into the shared history of the Baltic region. Today, the Baltic Republics remain somewhat **under-the-radar gems, with all the ingredients for a picture-perfect, old-world adventure**. From stunning beaches to enchanting forests, historic villages to buzzing cities with Polish, Danish, and Swedish architectural influences, the states lining the Baltic coast brings **just the right blend of history, culture, and natural beauty**. This trip taking in their three capital cities will show us their highlights and showcase what makes each nation unique. First, Estonia brings **a story of modern-day innovation told against a backdrop of medieval history**. Today’s culture of start-ups and entrepreneurship thrives amid the fairytale-esq Old Town of its capital Tallinn, with its cobbled streets, medieval walls, soaring church spires and the iconic Toompea Hill. Then onto Latvia’s capital, Riga, where a tapestry of **rich history, stunning Art Nouveau architecture, Europe’s largest market and bazaar**, and an extraordinary vibe await. The city is a major cultural hub, from contemporary art to the many celebrations of local heritage, such as choral singing, storytelling, folk dances and traditional music. We end our adventure with Lithuania’s cultural gems, visiting the 15th century Trakai Castle, then making our way through the capital of Vilnius, with its **UNESCO-listed historic centre with origins dating to the Neolithic period**. Through key landmarks like St Anna’s Church, Cathedral Square and the Gate of Dawn, we’ll **journey through the ages with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture**. All the while, we’ll **take in scenic landscapes, savour the warm local hospitality and indulge in delicious cuisines**, capturing a taste of the true Baltic spirit. **Let's go!** **Day 1 // TUE :: Arrival in Riga (Latvia)** Meeting at DXB at 15:30 for a direct flight to Riga. Once we clear immigration we’ll head out for our first quick glimpse of the city before we head to the hotel for overnight. **Day 2 // WED :: Riga** For our city tour of Riga, our day starts in the Art Nouveau district, famous for its stunning facades and intricate architectural details. We will then explore the Old Town, visiting landmarks such as the Three Brothers, House of Blackheads, and St. Peter’s Church. We will end at the famous Riga Central Market, where we’ll browse the offerings such as smoked meats, cheese, pastries, fish, seasonal produce and sweets, and have the chance to taste local specialties. **Later on, we’ll set off for Estonia**, crossing the border and heading towards the capital of Tallinn. Once there, we should have enough time for a quick look at the Old Square near City Hall, before turning in for the night. **Day 3 // THU :: Tallinn (Estonia)** Our exploration of Tallinn will take in both the modern and historical parts of the city. We will drive through the Kadriorg district, home to a beautiful baroque palace and gardens, and continue to the coastal Pirita area, known for its song festivals, a key part of Estonian national identity. Next, we will stroll through the UNESCO-listed Old Town, visiting landmarks such as Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Toompea Hill, offering stunning views of the city. In the evening we’ll head put for a quick glimpse on a night life. **Day 4 // FRI :: Vilnius (Lithuania)** **In the morning short flight Tallinn - Vilnius.** Today we will spend discovering Vilnius and its surroundings. Our city tour will begin with the Gate of Dawn, St. Anne’s Church, and Cathedral Square, and include a visit to the Paneriai Memorial Museum, commemorating the tragic events of WWII. **Day 5 // SAT :: Trakai Castle** Our last day is dedicated to Trakai Castle, a picturesque medieval fortress on Lake Galve.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal. And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck. Private lenders are more cautious. Partners are asking better questions.

You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help** Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals. **The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)** Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems.

We will cover how to think through inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels, how to choose the right channel for your goals, how to run the numbers before you spend, how to allocate the right budget, how to launch the campaign correctly, and how to evaluate and track performance so you can make better decisions moving forward. **SCALE Framework:** **S –** Select the right channel **C –** Calculate the numbers **A –** Allocate the budget **L –** Launch the campaign **E –** Evaluate and track it **What We’ll Cover** * How to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing * How to stop guessing and start reverse engineering your marketing * The difference between inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels * How to choose the right channel for your business and market * How to calculate the numbers before launching * How to allocate a budget based on goals, not emotion * How to launch and track a campaign the right way * How to create more consistent and predictable deal flow **Date:** May 28, 2026 (Thursday) **Time:** 6 - 8pm EST **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company, 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Save Your Seat** → https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp **FREE DRINKS & FOOD PROVIDED!** **About Columbus Investors Club** The Columbus Investors Club is a local meetup for real estate investors, aspiring investors, contractors, vendors, lenders, realtors, and other professionals who want to grow in the Columbus market.
