Khobar English Book Club — The Pearl (Session 2 of 2)
📚 Khobar English Book Club — Meetup #3
Every week at Khobar English Book Club, our members meet to discuss a piece of literature that we are all reading - the description for this week's meetup is below.
📖 Current Read: *The Pearl*, John Steinbeck
A fable of hope, greed, and human nature, The Pearl tells the story of a poor pearl diver whose life is forever changed by a single discovery. What begins as a dream of opportunity gradually becomes a powerful exploration of ambition, social inequality, and the price we pay for pursuing our desires.
Beautifully written and deceptively simple, Steinbeck's classic novella invites readers to reflect on wealth, destiny, family, and what it means to live a good life. A short book with big ideas.. and plenty to discuss.
🗓 Meetup Details
**Date:** Saturday, 04 July at 11:00am
**Reading Goal:** Before the meetup, please read the second half of the novella (Chapters 4, 5, and 6)
**Location:** SA'AH Cafe
🔍 Where to Find the Book
The novella is widely available online as a PDF and can also be ordered online in physical format. You may also find copies at Jarir Bookstore.
💬 What to Expect
This is not a super structured event, but generally we’ll chat about:
• the book — parts of the story/ideas/characters/writing that we found interesting, meaningful, funny, thought-provoking etc. Also, aspects of the book that maybe we didn't like!
• books, literature, reading in general.
If you feel inclined, you can bring:
• specific passages you liked
• questions or discussion prompts
• suggestions for the next book
🤝 A Quick Note on RSVP
These events are **free and informa**l, but **spots are limited**
In the spirit of community and courtesy, if you’ve clicked "Going" but can’t make it anymore, please switch to "Not Going" so someone else can take your spot.
📞 Questions?
If you have any questions about the book, the meetup, or the book club in general, feel free to contact me via WhatsApp: **+966 50 477 7522**
ورشة كتابة - اكتب قصتك / أحمد المرزوقي
عندما يثقل الماضي أرواحنا، تصبح الكتابة مساحة للبوح، ووسيلة لفهم ما نعجز أحيانًا عن قوله.
في هذا اللقاء التفاعلي، نستكشف معًا كيف يمكن للكلمات أن تخفف من وطأة الذكريات، وتمنحنا منظورًا جديدًا لتجاربنا الإنسانية.
🔹 هل ما يوجعنا هو مشاعرنا أم أفكارنا؟
🔹 كيف نكتب عن حدث مؤلم دون أن نغرق فيه؟
🔹 لماذا نلجأ إلى الكتابة في أوقات الألم؟
**ورشة تفاعلية تجمع بين التأمل والكتابة والحوار، لنخوض تجربة عملية في تحويل المشاعر والتجارب إلى نصوص ذات معنى.**
🎙️ يقدم الورشة:
***أحمد المرزوقي***
***مدرب في الكتابة الإبداعية***
نلتقي لنكتب، ونتأمل، ونكتشف كيف يمكن للكلمات أن تكون بداية للتصالح مع ذواتنا.
**ملاحظات مهمة : 📝**
اللقاء للجنسين ✨
يلزم التسجيل واظهار الباركود عند الحضور
الاعتذار من خلال meet up في حال تعذر حضورك لاتاحة المجال لاخرين ..
يتم توثيق اللقاء لاغراض النشر في المنصات وعدم اظهار وجوه الجمهور اطلاقاً بدون اخذ الاذن بذلك 📸
نود التذكير بأهمية إحضار الدفتر والاقلام الخاصة بكم لتدوين الملاحظات والأفكار والتمارين المصاحبة للورشة
نتطلع إلى لقائكم ومشاركة رحلة الكتابة معكم.📝

Learn to Play Pickleball: beginner & Intermediate drills
Want to learn pickleball in a fun, low-pressure setting? I’m hosting a free beginner-friendly meetup at Olentangy Parklands to help new players learn the basics and get comfortable on the court.
I’m a pretty skilled player and will walk everyone through the essentials, including rules, scoring, serving, basic strategy, and how to start playing real games. No experience needed.
We’ll meet on the upper courts.
Bring a pickleball paddle if you have one. If not, no problem, I’ll have some extras available for people to use.
This event is meant for beginners and anyone curious about trying pickleball for the first time. Come ready to move, learn, and have fun.

& every single person in Columbus is invited.
We're talking leis, tropical drink specials, a private rooftop, and a whole lot of people who are just as ready as you are to actually meet someone IRL.
[Save your spot linked here! ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/single-in-the-summer-a-rooftop-luau-social-tickets-1991416103172?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true)
This one's for the person who's over the apps. Who just moved to Columbus and doesn't really know anyone yet. Whose entire friend group somehow got married overnight. Who works from home and can't figure out how to meet people without it feeling completely weird. We know. We get it. We've literally been there — it's a big part of why we started DateColumbus in the first place.
So come as you are. No agenda, no pressure. Just good people, good drinks, and rooftop vibes that feel like a mini summer escape right here in Columbus.
We've got the **Paddle Club** all to ourselves — a massive private rooftop bar with giant Connect Four, plenty of tables, and cozy lounge seating. It's the perfect setup to grab a tropical drink, throw on your lei, and see who you meet.
🌺 Lei included with every ticket
🍹 Tropical drink specials all night
Private rooftop — just our group
☀️ Good vibes only
