Handmade Cards

**A social night where talking to anyone feels easy.** Your friends are great. You just don't see them enough anymore. This is a place to meet new people without networking, small talk, or having to impress anyone. Most people come on their own. **How it works** Everyone gets a card tied to a local Toronto spot. You spend the night trading with people for one you want more. That's your reason to walk up to anyone in the room. Near the end, names are drawn and about 1 in 3 people win the real gift card. **Details** Saturday, April 25 · 7–10 PM Liberty Village · 75 East Liberty St Around 60–80 people **Get your ticket here:** [https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1983744005722?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1983744005722?aff=oddtdtcreator)

Hi Wonderful Ladies, Come join us for Brunch on **Saturday**, April 25th, 2026 at 11:00 AM at Hoyra Gastrobar in the west end near High Park. The restaurant offers an excellent dining experience with thoughtfully crafted brunch options. The menu features delicious, traditional Ukrainian dishes as well as Eastern European cuisine. There are vegan options too. Come relax and enjoy great food and excellent service. Click [here](https://www.eathoyra.com/menu) for a link to the menu. Meet friends and make some new ones while enjoying a lovely Brunch. Each participant will cover their own food and drink costs. **There is a non-refundable / non-transferable $5.00 cover fee** to attend this group event. This charge will reserve your spot, help with group costs and hopefully minimize no shows. **Payment of the $5 cover charge is due by FRIDAY, APRIL 17th, 2026.** After this date, non payment of the cover fee will result in the Member's name being moved to the "not going" list so that those "waitlisted" have an opportunity to attend the Brunch. In consideration of others, if you are not able to attend, please advise 48 hours prior to the event to allow other people on the waitlist to have your spot. No shows and less than 48 hours notice of non-attendance will be noted. 2 or more such occurrences will unfortunately lead to removal from the group. Thank you all for your understanding and consideration. Looking forward to connecting soon! Here are the details for the $5.00 e-transfer - E-mail - [weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com](http://weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com/), Security Question - What is the time of the event? **Eleven** Hope to see you there!

Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
