Hello everyone, Join us for an afternoon of quiet reading at MagNet Community House. We've reserved a private space so we can read without any pressure to buy things – just bring your book and settle in. **🗓️ Schedule** * 14:00 \- 14:30 \| Arrive & Settle In * 14:30 \- 15:30 \| Silent Reading Hour * 15:30 \- 16:30 \| Chat & Discussion **📍 How to Find Us** Enter MagNet House, turn left by the elevators, walk through the inner garden, and look for the corner with bookshelves (Könyvkuckó). You can also ask reception for the "Book Club" or "Kids Room." **A note on this week's space:** We have the Kids Room + Book Nook combo. The book nook is great for reading, but with a bigger group some of us might spill into the kids room (expect some colorful cuteness! 🧸). We'll probably do the discussion there too. It's cozy and works – just a bit different from usual! **✨ Voluntary Contributions** Booking our own space costs 8250 HUF.

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
