Cleveland Zoom Speed Dating for Beginners
**🌸 Video Speed Dating with Cleveland Locals**
You get to spend your time in rapid one-on-one Zoom dates with Cleveland locals in your age group matched for you, with a live host coordinating every round.
Prior to the event, you take a short personality assessment — that information feeds the matching to line up well-matched Cleveland people for your rounds, which means the rounds feel more natural and less forced.
Once the rounds are done, mutual matches are shared privately — so it is mutual or it stays private — and the connection is yours to explore in your own time.
**Register by age group:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cleveland&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0)

**⚠️ Two steps needed:** Meetup rsvp alone does not register you for the event, so click the appropriate age group link above, register, and do the personality quiz — spots run out faster than you would expect so register now, and this is not optional — both steps are required.
---
**Event Info**
- **Where:** Venue-free — on any modern device with a camera, a stable connection and a camera is all it takes, and your home a quiet office or anywhere suits equally well.
- **Host:** A professional host handles everything so you just show up and enjoy, leaving you free to just connect — from start to finish your only job is to have good conversations.
- **Vibe:** Easy-going private Zoom chats with Cleveland singles who are done with the usual options, and you leave with more energy than you arrived with.
- **Duration:** Usually 75 minutes or so total, and the evening has a natural momentum.
**You will love this if:**
- Women and men from around Cleveland moving on from unread messages and dead-end conversations and need a better way to meet people.
- Locals in Cleveland bored of profiles instead of real people and want to try something that actually works.
- Residents based in Cleveland ready to move past matches that ghost after two messages and are ready for something genuine instead.
**Here is the format**
1. **Register** – by using the link for your bracket above, then fill in the personality questions as part of registration, as completing both steps locks in your place.
2. **Join the video call** – using the link that will be sent ahead of time, it runs in your browser so setup takes seconds, and a host keeps everything smooth from that point.
3. **Have your dates** – quick private video rounds with compatible Cleveland area locals your age, while a host ensures every round feels natural, as each round is with a Cleveland local matched to your profile.
4. **Discover your matches** – mutual match details are sent privately after the event, so your info only reaches someone who also chose you, and the next move is completely yours to make.

Detroit Verified Home Speed Dating Experience
**🎉 Speed Dating without the Venue for Detroit Singles Tonight**
You'll rotate through short virtual speed dates with Detroit singles your age curated by personality quiz, as a welcoming host takes care of everything.
As part of your registration, you take a short personality assessment — those results are used to pair you intelligently with Detroit locals, so every round is informed by more than just looks.
After all the rounds, we share who chose whom — exclusively for mutual selections — and you reach out whenever you are ready.
**Registration — choose your age group:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0)

**⚠️ Do not skip this:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so register through the age group link, complete the form, and take the two-minute personality quiz — capacity is restricted so act soon, and your place is confirmed only once you have done both.
---
**Made for:**
- Members around Detroit moving on from matches that ghost after two messages and are ready for something genuine instead.
- Women and men living in Detroit bored of endless scrolling and zero real dates and are serious about meeting someone.
- Returners living in Detroit wanting to escape app fatigue and empty match queues and want to try something that actually works.
- Members from the Detroit area leaving behind apps that waste evenings for no return and are after something more than a swipe can offer.
**Four simple steps**
1. **Complete registration** – through the link corresponding to your age range, then take the brief personality quiz, because this is the only way to be confirmed.
2. **Show up on Zoom** – via your Zoom registration link at the right time, any device works and no download is required, and everything from that point is handled by the host.
3. **Go through the rounds** – quick private video rounds with age-matched Detroit locals paired by quiz, as the host signals each transition calmly and clearly, given that the matching was done before the evening started.
4. **Review your matches** – we reveal mutual matches once the session ends, as your data only goes to someone who matched you back, and the next move is completely yours to make.

Toledo Beginner Friendly Home Speed Dating
**💓 Zoom-Hosted Speed Dating for Toledo People Done with Apps**
Each evening, you'll be guided through rapid one-on-one Zoom dates with people from Toledo sorted by age and compatibility, while a live host keeps things smooth throughout.
Right after registering, you submit a short personality questionnaire — the quiz results inform who you meet to match you with Toledo singles who are likely to click with you, meaning your rounds are curated and not random.
Once it is wrapped up, mutual match details are distributed — exclusively for mutual selections — and it is yours to follow up without any rush.
**Find your bracket and register:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Toledo&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0)
- **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Toledo&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0)
- **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Toledo&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0)

**⚠️ Important:** An rsvp on this page is not a confirmed spot, so use the link for your age bracket above, sign up, and finish the short personality quiz — spots go quickly so register now rather than later, and both steps together are what confirm your place.
---
**Here is how the evening goes**
1. **Lock in your place** – by selecting your age group and following the link, then finish the compatibility quiz, because this step is your confirmation not the RSVP.
2. **Hop on** – via your Zoom registration link at the right time, any device works and no download is required, and the host introduces everyone and gets the rounds started.
3. **Have your dates** – timed one-on-one speed dates with age-matched Toledo locals paired by quiz, as the host handles all transitions so conversations stay natural, since every person you meet was matched to you on purpose.
4. **Review your matches** – after the night mutual match results are sent to both parties, since non-mutual choices are never shared with either party, and you reach out whenever you feel ready.
**Who it is for:**
- Individuals in Toledo finished with profiles that never convert to actual dates and are ready for a genuine first impression.
- Those based in Toledo who are tired of endless scrolling and zero real dates and need a better way to meet people.
- Anyone locally in Toledo moving beyond swiping left and right with no results and are ready for a genuine first impression.
- Daters around Toledo who no longer want app fatigue and empty match queues and are serious about meeting someone.
- People calling Toledo home wanting to escape swiping left and right with no results and are after something more than a swipe can offer.
**Event Info**
- **Format:** Host-managed through Zoom video built around curated one-on-one dates, personality-first and age-grouped at every stage.
- **Where:** From home — on any screen with a camera and mic, Wi-Fi and a front-facing camera covers it completely, and any quiet space with good lighting will do fine.
- **Host:** A welcoming host runs the session from the opening to the final round, so every conversation gets your full attention — there is nothing on your end to organise or manage.
- **Vibe:** Comfortable short conversations with Toledo people who are ready for something real, and the whole thing is better than you would expect.
- **Duration:** Roughly 60 to 75 minutes from host intro to final round, with most rounds feeling short.
⭐ *"Tried it once and booked again — did not feel awkward at all"* – Toledo attendee
💡 **Helpful hint:** prepare one or two opening questions, and the host takes care of everything else from there, and the host handles everything else from that point.

Indianapolis Faceless Online Speed Dating Event
**🎊 Zoom Speed Dating for Indianapolis Locals from Home**
In each session, you'll move through private one-on-one video rounds with Indianapolis people in your age bracket who match your profile, with someone hosting live from start to finish.
When booking your spot, you take a quick personality and preferences survey — those results are used to match you with Indianapolis people who are actually compatible, so the format works harder than any dating app.
When it is all over, we send mutual match results — with privacy guaranteed for all non-mutual picks — and everything that follows is on your schedule.
**Age groups — click yours to register:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Indianapolis&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0)

**⚠️ RSVP is not enough:** Rsvping on meetup does not confirm your spot at the event, so follow the age group link above, register, and complete the personality quiz to lock in your spot — numbers are intentionally limited so register early, and only the combination of both confirms your attendance.
---
**The breakdown**
1. **Register** – through the link corresponding to your age range, then complete the personality assessment, because registration closes once spots fill.
2. **Log on** – by opening the session link at the right time, works on any device without requiring a download, and from there a live host guides everything.
3. **Start the rounds** – brief timed one-on-one chats with Indianapolis singles curated for you by age and personality, as the host signals each transition calmly and clearly, knowing the matching already happened before you got on Zoom.
4. **Discover your matches** – mutual selections are shared privately once the evening wraps, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and from there you call every shot.
**Ideal if you are:**
- Someone near Indianapolis who have had enough of apps that waste evenings for no return and are ready for something that feels natural.
- Professionals from the Indianapolis area moving on from dating apps that go nowhere and want actual face-to-face conversation.
- Someone in the Indianapolis area moving beyond apps that waste evenings for no return and are ready for a genuine first impression.
- Members calling Indianapolis home who have given up on profiles instead of real people and are looking for real connection.
- Daters from around Indianapolis moving beyond shallow connections that never lead anywhere and want to talk to real people tonight.
**The Basics**
- **Format:** Real-time via a live video call centred on focused one-on-one video dates, age and personality sorted before the event begins.
- **Where:** Fully remote — on whatever device you prefer, no special equipment — just a device with a camera and internet, and wherever you feel at ease is effectively your venue.
- **Host:** A professional host handles everything so you just show up and enjoy, meaning you never have to think about the format — every transition and every call to move on is handled.
- **Vibe:** Welcoming private Zoom chats with real people from Indianapolis not filtered profiles, and the format itself removes most of the pressure.
- **Duration:** Total time is around 75 minutes or so across all rounds, and you will barely notice the time.
💡 **Tip:** clear your background or find a tidy corner, so the rounds feel natural from the very start, since small prep leads to a noticeably better experience.

Choose Your Movie: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES vs HOKUM at Cinemark Stoneridge!
Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk
HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc
PLAN: For those seeing HOKUM, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 6:50pm! For those seeing THE SHEEP DETECTIVES, please purchase your ticket for the 7:15pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 7:00pm! For BOTH films, we’ll plan for a pre-show bite at nearby El Vaquero! For those joining for dinner, we’ll meet at El Vaquero at 5:45pm!
Should be a couple of fun movies and a good time together, Dan
How to Get Off-Market Deals With Direct-to-Seller Marketing
**How to Get Off-Market Deals With Direct-to-Seller Marketing**
Want to learn how to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing without relying on agents, wholesalers, or the MLS for consistent deal flow?
That is exactly what we are covering at this next Columbus Investors Club Meetup.
Get Your Free Ticket **[HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp)**[ ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-off-market-deals-with-direct-to-seller-marketing-tickets-1987845260686?aff=cicmeetupapp)🎟️
Most investors who try to do off-market deals make the same mistake: they throw money into a marketing channel, pray that it works, and hope a deal comes out the other side. There is no real strategy, no clear math, no tracking, and no process to know what is actually working.
At this meetup, we are going to break down how to reverse engineer direct-to-seller marketing using our SCALE framework so you can approach your marketing with more clarity, confidence, and consistency.
We will cover how to think through inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels, how to choose the right channel for your goals, how to run the numbers before you spend, how to allocate the right budget, how to launch the campaign correctly, and how to evaluate and track performance so you can make better decisions moving forward.
**SCALE Framework:**
**S –** Select the right channel
**C –** Calculate the numbers
**A –** Allocate the budget
**L –** Launch the campaign
**E –** Evaluate and track it
**What We’ll Cover**
* How to get off-market deals through direct-to-seller marketing
* How to stop guessing and start reverse engineering your marketing
* The difference between inbound, outbound, and free marketing channels
* How to choose the right channel for your business and market
* How to calculate the numbers before launching
* How to allocate a budget based on goals, not emotion
* How to launch and track a campaign the right way
* How to create more consistent and predictable deal flow
**Date:** May 28, 2026 (Thursday)
**Time:** 6 - 8pm EST
**Location:** Ohio Brewing Company, 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201

Join us as we kick off Summer Movie Season with a Happy Hour & a movie event to see the sci-fi action-adventure, THE MANDOLARIAN AND GROGU! The sci-fi action-adventure follows a lone bounty hunter and his apprentice Grogu (Baby Yoda) embark on an exciting new Star Wars adventure. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: In the film, Djarin and his apprentice Grogu are enlisted by the New Republic during a period where remaining Imperial warlords threaten the galaxy. The film is written/directed by Jon Favreau (the mastermind behind the early MCU films) and stars Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwild1rw7Aw
HAPPY HOUR PLAN: For Happy Hour food and drinks before the show we’ll meet in the bar area at nearby Bravo at 5:15pm! We’ll have a section reserved for the group, so keep an eye out for us and we’ll keep one out for you! CMG Pro Tip: If you can, bring cash as it helps make for a quicker exit from the restaurant.
MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:45pm showing and meet in the lobby area at 6:30pm! Tickets on sale now and advance purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you have yours, please list you seat number in the Comments section of this event.
Happy Summer and See You Soon, Dan
CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
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
Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
