Dry January is a month when many people voluntarily stop drinking alcohol after the excesses of the holidays & start the new year on a sober, clearer, more refreshed & healthy note. Throughout January are you taking the opportunity to explore different habits & activities to add to your self-care routine? Do you like supporting small businesses? Have you ever wanted to try "alcohol free" spirits? If so, I’ve got the venue for you! **Come check-out [Binge](https://www.instagram.com/bingebardc/) with me.** **Please be mindful of the start and end times (6:30-9:30 pm) of this meetup.** Please RSVP to indicate your attendance. If your plans change & you are unable to attend, please update your RSVP. Regular no-show or late notices may get you dropped from the group. It is important that we are able to provide an accurate count to the venue (really important for this meetup since it's our 2nd time there) and that all people who want to AND are able to attend are able to do so. If something comes up at the last minute, please reach out to us. **We ask all attendees to pay $1 to participate in the meetup.** This money helps maintain our meetup membership & cover various meetup costs that arise. You can pay $1 on Venmo @amanda-uherek, via Pay-Pal, or in-person (please choose paying friend/family not a business, good or service). *REMINDER:* everyone is responsible for their own tabs. If you have questions / comments / suggestions please message us. We will have hand sanitizer & decks of cards on hand, you bring the talent & trash talk! Hope to see some of you. Amanda

We have taken more than a year off due to the pandemic. Our old favorite cafe in Bethesda is now closed so lets try the Panera Bread down the street on Wisconsin Ave. Please come and join us for some double deck pinochle, assuming (of course) that you have been inoculated for Covid-19 and you are willing to follow the current guidelines of the business on mask wearing. We will start the first game about 6 pm. We play 300 point games so the second game will likely start just after 7 pm, and we will rotate tables if we have more than 4 players. Card players of all level are welcome. We play primarily 4-handed double deck Pinochle but other variants are have been tried on occasion. Games go from 6 pm until Panera closes, which currently is 9 pm. This event is scheduled to repeat every other Wednesday night. Please don't wait until the last minute to RSVP.

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott
