Latinos social dance night💃🕺
Welcome to our new recurring event — now happening every second Friday 😃
🇱🇦 Latinos Night | Kallithea 🍹
After a hugely successful first edition, this event is officially moving forward as a bi-weekly experience. Due to demand, capacity is increasing to 15 spots (up from 10), while keeping the atmosphere exclusive, social, and high-quality.
📍 Venue: El Latino Café Bar — a hidden Latin bar in Kallithea, just a short walk from Kallithea Metro 🚇
The space is small and cozy, mostly standing, with only a few chairs. The idea is intentional: less sitting, more movement, more interaction, more real connections 🤝✨
There’s also a small area to dance if the rhythm hits 🎶💃
No tables. No formal seating. Just an open, dynamic social setup.
🎧 A DJ will be playing Latin music all night — fresh space, fresh crowd, fresh energy 🌶️🔥
We’ll also be collaborating with another group to ensure a diverse, vibrant mix of people and new connections 🌍🧩
🍹 Happy Hour: 8:30 – 10:00 PM
All drinks included. Any drink. Any cocktail — 5€ 💶
Everything is included during happy hour.
🕣 Event time: 8:30 PM – 12:30 AM
🎟 Entry: Free — but strictly limited
⚠️ Important – How to get free entry:
To secure your spot, you must DM me in advance and write “Latinos”.
Only people who DM “Latinos” will be added to the list.
Capacity is limited to 15 people only.
📍 Location:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ryquYc9KEmwhYhdw9�
I’ll be there personally to welcome everyone 🙌
Arrive early, grab a drink, move around, dance a little, connect, and experience something new in a fresh part of the city.
Discover. Connect. Enjoy.
See you there,
Mamad

[https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/)
**Join the Athens Brunch Club and make new friends!**
Each meetup brings together 4–6 people for casual conversations over brunch. We use the Groupvibe platform to facilitate the meetup and ensure everyone’s a good fit.
👉 **To attend, you’ll need to complete registration via this link:**
[https://groupvibe.com/](https://groupvibe.com/)
We’ll share the exact location of the upcoming meetup the night before only if you have bought a ticket or membership plan.
**Why this works:**

\* Curated brunch venues with good food and vibe.
\* If you hit it off with your brunch group, there’s plenty of time to hang out afterwards.

Market Intelligence in a Society that hates Transparency [foobar.i/o #8]
Building a **SaaS** is a battlefield on its own, now imagine doing it in Greece.
On the **7th of April,** **Konstantinos Livieratos** will be sharing the behind-the-scenes story on how **fundamenta** was built, a platform aiming to reshape market intelligence in the Greek market!
Expect GDPR challenges, competitors copy-pasting their work into ChatGPT like it's an Olympic sport (they'd probably win 🥇) and several Greek bureaucracy moments enough to test any founder's sanity...
It's a story about pushing meaningful change into a market that wasn't fully ready for it, the unexpected hurdles along the way, and why creating a market-local **SaaS** can be far tougher than going global.
📍 You will find us at our host **Starttech Ventures**, downtown Athens: **Lykourgou 1**, 2nd floor
***Starttech Ventures*** *is a venture studio based in Athens, building B2B SaaS companies for global markets since 2000. We co-found companies with entrepreneurs, grounded in a philosophy of trust-based, long-term value creation. Our approach draws on Lean Startup and product-led growth principles to systematically take ventures from first hypothesis to profitable, resilient scaleup. What started as a student-led company in Heraklion, Crete has grown into one of Europe's earliest venture builders, with companies like Epignosis (the team behind TalentLMS), Yodeck, and AbZorba Games proving that it is possible to build globally successful companies from Greece, prioritizing customers over investors and real value over paper value.*

Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Kim Thompson**
**Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra**
**Clinton Heights Lutheran Church**
**15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202**
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.
In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
