What comes to mind when you hear the words “love”, “solidarity”, “support”, “fellowship” ? Christmas? Of course not! Diplomacy! The season reaches its festive finale on Saturday, 27/12/2025 at 12:00 at Crystal Lotus Cafe. Last chance to settle scores, take revenge on two-faced “allies” from previous games, finally give that supply center that “I promise to give you on a next game”, test that wild alliance you thought up in the shower, write your own story that we’ll be talking about for years to come. *** Τι σας έρχεται στο μυαλό όταν ακούτε τις λέξεις “αγάπη”, “αλληλεγγύη”, “συμπαράσταση”, “συναδέλφωση”; Τα Χριστούγεννα; Όχι βέβαια! το Diplomacy! Η σεζόν φτάνει στο εορταστικό της φινάλε το Σάββατο, 27/12/2025 στις 12:00 στο Crystal Lotus Cafe. Τελευταία ευκαιρία να κλείσετε λογαριασμούς, να εκδικηθείτε διπρόσωπους “συμμάχους” από προηγούμενα παιχνίδια, να δώσετε επιτέλους εκείνο το support center που “θα σου δώσω σε ένα επόμενο παιχνίδι”, να δοκιμάσετε την απίθανη συμμαχία που κάποια στιγμή σκεφτήκατε στο ντους, να γράψετε τη δική σας ιστορία που θα συζητάμε στο μέλλον.

Λοιπόν, για όσους πρόκειται να μείνουν στην Αθήνα για τις γιορτές, θα δοκιμάσουμε να κάνουμε μια πρώτη συνάντηση. Θα αφορά ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου επιτραπέζια, το Concordia. Αν σκοπεύετε να έρθετε, φροντίστε να έχετε σίγουρα ένα τρίωρο στην διάθεσή σας. Θα μας χρειαστεί (συστάσεις + εξήγηση κανόνων + παιχνίδι) **Πληροφορίες για το Concordia:** https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/124361/concordia **Βίντεο κανόνων** (υπάρχουν και άλλα) **:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CGPwFMEkK0

After a long time, we’re happy to organise a city hike MeetUp again. We’ll meet at 2:00 pm in front of the Acropolis Museum and start our walk towards the main entrance of Filopappou Hill. We'll visit the Philopappou Monument and several other historical sites. This green hill in the heart of Athens hides (and shows) a rich collection of Greek history, spanning from around 500 BC to the 19th century. Democracy was born here. We can still visit its cradle. Every step unfolds a new breathtaking view on the Acropolis, the entire city of Athens, and her surroundings. The pace will be relaxed, with time to look around and talk. After the walk, those who wish can join us for coffee at Brysaki: [https://share.google/kGFKketE0d4LFuJ7X](https://share.google/kGFKketE0d4LFuJ7X)

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant. Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'! Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life. Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio. Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision. Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA).

It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge. Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason (ColumbusCoR.org).
