💔 This group is for anyone with a broken heart.
While many of our members are going through divorce, separation, or the end of a long-term relationship, you do not have to be going through a divorce to join us. If your heart is broken for any reason—loss, betrayal, confusion, or emotional exhaustion—you are welcome here. This is a place for healing, connection, and hope.
💔 Este grupo es para cualquier persona con el corazón roto.
Aunque muchos de nuestros miembros están atravesando un divorcio, separación o el fin de una relación, no es necesario estar divorciándose para unirte.

🧭 If you are facing the end of a relationship...
Whether you’re navigating a divorce, a difficult separation, or feel your relationship may be heading in that direction, you’ve come to the right place. These meetings offer a powerful kind of support that traditional friendships and family circles often can’t provide. By hearing from others who are walking a similar path, you’ll gain clarity, perspective, and strength. Over time, the chaos begins to make sense and the pain becomes more manageable.
🧭 Si estás enfrentando el final de una relación...
Ya sea que estés atravesando un divorcio, una separación difícil o sientas que tu relación va en esa dirección, estás en el lugar correcto. Estas reuniones ofrecen un tipo de apoyo que muchas veces amigos y familiares no pueden brindar. Al escuchar a otros en un camino similar, encontrarás claridad, perspectiva y fortaleza. Poco a poco, la confusión disminuye y el dolor se vuelve más manejable.

Judgement of Paris - House Wine
This is the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris. Significantly, in 1976, California wines unexpectedly outperformed French wines in a blind tasting with nine French judges, challenging the perception that only French wines were of the highest quality. This event helped elevate the status of California wines on the global stage and is considered a pivotal moment in wine history.
House Wine, in Worthington, modestly, recreates that moment in history with a tasting both American and French wines in a fun, casual atmosphere. Come at 6:45, pay your fee at the register and join your friends for this "Judgey" tasting. https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine/the-judgment-of-paris-turns-40/
Arrive when you can and we'll have a table for gathering. Feel free to bring your own food as it is welcomed at this local gem or order from the newly opened Worthington Inn, or local favorites such as Dewey's, Everest, Jet, Worthington Tavern and The Whitney. Each person pays their tasting fee, typically $15, and gets their wine glass, then approximately five pours of the wines being served.
**Parking is tough**. Try the second lot behind House Wine accessed by the land by the back parking lot or the municipal lot one block north of House Wine.
**Waiver and Liability and Attendance Policy.** Participation by you and your guests means you agree to the Waiver of Liability and Attendance Policies on our Group Page. People who have two more or Attendance policy violations are subject to removal from the group.

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.
And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up.
That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now.
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.
This is where connections turn into action.
This meeting is for serious real estate investors nationwide, and we’re known for our high-content, real-life education and our nationwide community of dealmakers.
Members and non-members at all levels are welcome.
