## 🎬 Stand By Me – 40th Anniversary Screening **Monday, March 30** 📍 Cineplex Yonge/Dundas (Toronto) 🕡 Meet at 6:45PM \| 🎥 Showtime 7:00PM Join us for a special 40th anniversary screening of **Stand by Me** on the big screen at Cineplex Yonge/Dundas! Look for **Nick and the Meetup sign outside the auditorium (14) before and after the movie.** As always, you’re welcome to just show up — no stress if your schedule is up in the air. 🎟 Event page & tickets: [https://www.cineplex.com/movie/stand-by-me-40th-anniversary](https://www.cineplex.com/movie/stand-by-me-40th-anniversary) ▶️ Watch the trailer on YouTube: [trailer here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UUcTNZKrks) *** ### About the Movie Directed by Rob Reiner and based on a novella by Stephen King, *Stand By Me* is a coming-of-age classic that follows four friends — Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern — on a summer adventure to find a missing boy. Set in the 1950s, it’s funny, heartfelt, and deeply nostalgic — a story about friendship, growing up, and the moment you realize childhood doesn’t last forever. ⏱ Runtime: **89 minutes** *** ### Why the 40th Anniversary Is So Special Forty years later, *Stand By Me* still resonates because it captures something universal: the intensity of childhood friendships and the bittersweet transition into adulthood. Seeing it on the big screen again gives the story the space it deserves — the Oregon landscapes, the unforgettable performances from a young cast, and the emotional depth that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Anniversary screenings aren’t just about nostalgia — they’re about sharing a timeless story with a room full of people who laugh, tear up, and remember their own childhood adventures at the same time. There’s something powerful about experiencing that together. If you’ve loved this movie for decades, or if you’ve somehow never seen it, this is the perfect way to experience it. Come walk the tracks with us. 🚂 \#\#\# ✅ **Before You Sign Up** * Please **buy your ticket first** — seating is limited! * When signing up, let us know your **seat number** so we can try to group everyone together. * You can still sign up or just **show up on the day** if you’re not sure you can make it — we’re flexible! 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:** [Click here to join](http:/#) 🎟️ **Join Cineplex’s CineClub for discounts**: [https://www.cineplex.com/cineclub](https://www.cineplex.com/cineclub) 🎁 **Get your SCENE Card** for free movies and points: [https://www.scene.ca](https://www.scene.ca/) \*\*\* \#\#\# 🎥 **A Quick Word About Movie Etiquette** We love a great film experience.

We will hike about 1.5 miles on a loop then reverse to get about 3 miles. The trail is flat but there are some roots etc. protruding so I’ll be using poles. There is an old homestead there that is interesting. I always feel as though this preserve reeks of peace and tranquility. We will hike at a pace of 3 to 3.5 mph (but you’re free to go faster if you’d like!) Optional lunch after if there is an interest

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
