Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

**Lunch before Musical!** **All are welcome 😊**

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott

**🌸 Curated Speed Dating on Zoom for Richmond Locals Host Guided** During the session, you'll work through short one-on-one Zoom rounds with Richmond locals paired by quiz results and age range, with someone hosting live from start to finish. Ahead of joining, you complete a short personality quiz — quiz results from that step to build your personal lineup of Richmond locals, meaning your rounds are curated and not random. When the last round finishes, we send mutual match results — only when the interest is confirmed mutual — and there is no pressure on timing. **Age group links — pick yours below:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=18-32&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=30-46&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=40-58&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=55+&face_v=5.0) **⚠️ Quick note:** This rsvp does not equal a reserved seat, so complete registration via your age bracket link and finish the short personality quiz — places close once the group is full so sign up early, and this is not optional — both steps are required. --- **Perfect for:** - Singles locally in Richmond wanting to escape swiping with nothing to show for it and prefer meeting people in person first. - Members from Richmond who no longer want digital dating that never converts to anything real and want actual face-to-face conversation. - Individuals throughout Richmond who have given up on endless scrolling and zero real dates and value real conversation over curated profiles. - People from around Richmond done with matches that fade out before meeting and need a better way to meet people. **How it unfolds** 1. **Lock in your place** – through the age group link above, then answer the personality questions, because registration and quiz together hold your seat. 2. **Click into Zoom** – at the scheduled time using your Zoom link, phone computer or tablet — whatever you prefer, and a host is live and will walk you through everything. 3. **Enjoy the rounds** – private video rounds with personality-matched Richmond locals in your group, as the host keeps everything smooth and well-timed, as each round is with a Richmond local matched to your profile. 4. **Receive your matches** – once it wraps we notify both sides of any mutual selection, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and once you have it you decide how and when to connect. ⭐ *"The format is brilliant — the whole thing was well-run and fun"* – Richmond local who came back twice 💡 **Good to know:** prepare one or two opening questions, which means you can focus entirely on the conversation, and a few minutes of prep makes a big difference to the whole evening. --- ✨ Richmond singles worth meeting are in this event — click your age bracket and sign up and you just show up on the night and we will get you all set up.

Can not wait to see you there. 🥰 ✨
