Side Quest ๐ Friday Social in the City
**Come to London's largest expat community and make new international friends! What to expect at World Citizens:**
\- A warm\, inclusive\, conversation\-friendly group :\)
\- Decent\, well\-mannered people from around the world
\- A mix of casual/informal socializing and some optional group activities \(introductions \+ icebreakers\)
\- Nice venues with cozy and safe space :\)
**What is World Citizens?** London's top community for new-in-town, expats, travellers and third culture kids who want to meet in a safe, culturally enriching and thought-provoking space.
**How to participate?** You must enter our ticket lottery at [https://worldcitizenfridays.eventbrite.co.uk](https://worldcitizenfridays.eventbrite.co.uk)!
\- If you're picked\, you will receive an invitation email with the secret venue address on Thursday or Friday\.
\- The lottery helps us balance quantity and quality\, and gives everyone a chance to experience safe\, diverse and culturally enriching events\.
\- So expect *less* attendees than the number of RSVP, but *more* quality time connecting with everyone in a meaningful way!

Female-Only Lesbian Pool Night โ Relaxed & Social (9 SPOTS LEFT)
**What this is**
A relaxed, social pool night for lesbian and bisexual women.
You donโt need to be good at pool and itโs not competitive. Some women play properly, some mostly chat, some do a bit of both. Most women come on their own. Thatโs normal here, and it doesnโt feel awkward or cliquey once youโre there.
The games run for around an hour and a half, and most people stay on afterwards for drinks.
Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most weeks itโs a genuine mix of new faces and returning women.
If youโre feeling nervous, you wonโt be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first event and end up staying longer than they expected.
**Tickets**
ยฃ16 per person. Places are limited so the night stays calm and social.
If youโre planning to come, itโs best to book sooner rather than later.
Book your ticket here:
[www.thelcommunity.com/lesbian-pool-night/](https://thelcommunity.com/lesbian-pool-night/)
**Important**
This is a female-only lesbian space. That boundary is clear and upheld at events. If that doesnโt work for you, this wonโt be the right event.
**Meeting point**
Please come to the main bar or waiting area when you arrive. Weโll be there to greet you and get everyone settled before heading to the tables.
Please arrive five minutes before the event begins.
**WhatsApp Jenny**
WhatsApp only (calls or messages): **+44 7591 386019**
Normal calls or texts wonโt go through on this number.
**How to attend**
You must book a ticket in advance and RSVP on Meetup.

\- A long\, lovely descent through Sewardstone drops us out of the trees and into the Lee Valley: marshes\, lakes\, reedbeds\, and the calm of the Lee Navigation towpath all the way into Cheshunt\.

* **Chingford & Queen Elizabethโs Hunting Lodge:** 1543 Tudor grandstand on the edge of the Forest.

Let's Discuss... Life without religion
For most of human history, religion wasn't a lifestyle choice, it was part of life. It told you who you were, why you suffered, what death means, and how to live. Then science explained the sky, the earth, and everything around us, and we told ourselves we'd evolved past all that. But the meaninglessness of life was never explained. Millions of people are still medicated, addicted, and quietly lost, in the most comfortable civilisation that has ever existed. Maybe we just stopped feeding something that was never going to stop being hungry.
Can a life be meaningful without believing in anything bigger than yourself?
Can science tell you how to live?
Are the people replacing religion with politics, wellness culture, or ideology any less religious or just less honest about it?
Is dismissing religion a sign of progress, or are we just arrogant enough to think we don't need what every civilisation before us had?

COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
