Every participants will have a mission to complete to win prize. First, participants will be split into different tables with 2 ladies and 4 gentlemen per table.

Once the allocated time (around 15 to 20 min) is up which you will know when the organiser rings a bell across every table, it will mean that it is time for rotation. How you will be rotated will be mentioned on the piece of paper which you will receive on the actual day. For each round of rotation, usually 1 lady and 1 gentleman in the table will remain in their seats while the rest in the same table will move to another table based on what is mentioned on the piece of paper which they receive. This will then repeat for every rotation.
However, for the last 2 rounds of rotation which will be announced by organisers, it will be totally free and easy. This means that everyone in the event can move to any table of their choice as long as the table is not fully occupied.
Our team will also guide you on the rotation to meet different people during the actual event.

Live Share Care walk in support of Pack2Treat with Adventures Unlimited
🌿 Adventure Unlimited Live Share Care Walk – Pack2Treat Support Event 🌿
Join us for a meaningful morning of connection, care, and gentle movement in support of Pack2Treat.
We begin our Live Share Care Walk from **Katong Park MRT (Exit 1)**, stepping out into the soft coastal air where the east coast breeze meets early morning light. The route carries us through a refreshing blend of sea-side calm, park connectors, and river-side paths, where city noise slowly fades into rustling trees, open skies, and the rhythm of shared footsteps.
[Pls note TEL late opening at 8.30am.]
This is not just a walk — it is a journey through Singapore’s everyday beauty, from coastal neighbourhoods into the heart of our river corridors, ending at Geylang Bahru Market.
At Geylang Bahru, we come together for a lunch distribution for elderly residents, especially seniors living alone. This is the heart of our purpose — to share warmth, dignity, and care through food and presence.
After the walk, all participants are warmly invited to:
\*Grab a simple brunch before
spend time supporting older hawkers, provision shops, and mom-and-pop stores in the market
These small businesses and elderly vendors are part of the same living fabric we are walking for — let’s continue that care with our choices and support.
🕛 Important reminder: Lunch for the elderly will be served by 12 noon sharp, so please enjoy a light brunch beforehand and return with energy and heart for the service.
Let’s walk not just for health, but for community.
For our seniors. For our hawkers. For each other. 🌱
Walk Distance : 9km - 2 hrs easy
Brunch and Food marketing : 1.5 hr
Food distribution : 1 hr
**As of May all pack2treat schedule will be change so that participants can join us to shop and distribute food . Previously due to timing food distribution is handled by pack2treat volunteer closer to dinner time. Pack2treat's volunteer will assist and guide on food marketing and distribution the day.**
**Please read this:**
#1 – Attendance. This is a number-controlled event. Please come only if you are on the attending list. Please check your calendar and make sure you can come before RSVP, so as not to deny someone else who genuinely wishes to come.
#2 – Punctuality. We will move out at 8.05am sharp. We are not able to wait for latecomers.
#3 – Early Departure. Please inform the Event Host if you need to leave early.
#4 – Waitlist. Please note that the waitlist may not be processed in order. We may prioritize spots for participants training for upcoming hikes/ trips.
#5 – Weather. In case of severe weather conditions, we will provide an update or adjust the route accordingly.

WBS #2 Sunday, 24 May
A relaxed Sunday brunch with good food, good drinks, and even better conversation. Six seats, one table, and a mix of people you haven't met yet — that's the whole idea.
I plan to keep every brunch small on purpose. Six people means everyone gets heard, conversations go somewhere, and you actually leave knowing the people you sat with.
**Before you join — a couple of things**
This event is carefully put together, and I'd like to keep it that way. Before your spot can be confirmed, please make sure:
* Your Meetup profile has your **real name**
* You have a **clear photo of yourself** \- not a logo\, not a pet\, not a landscape
Once that's sorted, **send a WhatsApp to 8152 7329** to convey your interest. Spots are only confirmed by the host — do not turn up unless you've received confirmation directly from me.
**Please read this part**
Life happens, I get it. But with only six seats, a last-minute cancellation or no-show leaves a gap that's hard to fill. Out of respect for everyone at the table:
No-shows will result in a ban from the group. If you're canceling with less than 48 hours to go, please WhatsApp me first as a courtesy.
**See you Sunday.** ☀️

Friday night Social - Central Ohio Friends - 5 years of friends
For the last 5 years, Central Ohio Friends and Columbus Social Connection have teamed up for some incredible nights out and some of the biggest social events in Columbus with our biggest combined event bringing out 80+ people.
⚠️ Please only RSVP through ONE group to help keep headcount accurate.
Now we’re celebrating where it all started.
On Friday, May 22, we’ll be joining Central Ohio Friends 🍻 **Starting at** Brothers Bar & Grill in the Arena District the same place their very first event was held back in 2021.
Whether you’ve been to one of our events before or **have been waiting for the right one to come out to,** this is a great one to jump into.
Stop scrolling. Start doing stuff.

I'd like to buy a vowel!! 📺 🤩 💵 🥳 🇺🇸 😄
**Summary**
We will play TV-style game shows at [Game Show Battle Rooms](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/columbus/) ("GSBR"). These will include *Family Feud*, *Wheel of Fortune*, and *The Price is Right*, and we will play them over the course of an hour.
We ran this event for the second time back in October, and it was an even bigger hit than it was the first time we ran it the February prior. GSBR has nearly 10,000 reviews on Google and a 5-star rating. If there were any event where you were just about guaranteed to have a good time, it's this one.
GSBR changes their questions and answers every month, so if you attended in October (or even if you went with another group as recently as April), you will not see any of the same questions you saw before.
**The Date and Time of This Event**
Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. However, if someone books the 3:00 p.m. time before I do (meaning before I have enough paid attendees), well, that's the way the cookie crumbles and we'll have to move to Plan B.
That might involve trying for either one of GSBR's 1:30 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. slots, or just cancelling the Meetup altogether. We'll cross that bridge if we get to it, but be aware of these possibilities.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to whatever our actual showtime ends up being. (Hence, this meetup's 2:45 p.m. start time.)
**Cost**
The cost to play, per person, is $36.95 plus 8% sales tax of $2.96, plus a refundable 8% gratuity of $2.96 (see the next section for more details), for a total cost of $42.86 per person.
**Mandatory Gratuity (If 20+ Participants)**
If we have 20 or more participants in this event, GSBR will assess a mandatory gratuity of 8%, or $2.96 per person. If we have 20 or more attendees, GSBR will give our group an extra 15 minutes of playing time.
I am collecting the gratuity up-front to prepare for the case in which we have at least 20 people. However, in the event that we do not, I will refund this $2.96 to you.
In the event we have fewer than 20 people and your gratuity is refunded, your cost for the event will end up being $39.91 (instead of $42.86).
I will say more below on the actual exchange of money for this event.
**Drinks**
GSBR does allow beverages into the game room, and they also sell some on-site. These include bottled water, soft drinks, and some alcoholic beverages. You can bring your own bottled water, too, if you want.
**Cancellations and Refunds**
Per GSBR's [website](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/questions/): *If you cancel your show 5 or more days in advance of your booking time, you will receive a full refund.*
*You may reduce the number of tickets and receive a refund if you provide at least 5-days’ notice.*
More on this in a moment.
**Number of Participants**
GSBR does not run events for fewer than 6 people. I will not purchase tickets for this event with fewer than 10 paid, and I will not send out a solicitation for money without at least 12 signed up for this Meetup.
More on this below.
**The Actual Exchange of Money**
Tickets for GSBR events are not purchased piecemeal. I will need to book our GSBR event as a bloc. This means that everyone will need to send me his or her entrance fee via either Venmo or Paypal prior to me booking our time. Anyone failing to send me his or her money will be removed by me from this event.
Once 12+ people are signed up here for this Meetup, I will send out a DM through the Meetup messaging system to those 12+ participants with my Venmo/Paypal information. You will then have 72 hours to wire me your share of the money. After 72 hours, if I don't have money from you, I'll remove you from event.
If I don't have money from at least 10 people, I'll refund everyone's money, and we'll either re-start the process or I'll just cancel the event. I'm not going to book any event with GSBR unless I'm reasonably certain we're going to be able to run it.
Assuming I have money from 10+ people, then I will book the event through GSBR's website.
If you decide to cancel and you want a refund, you ***must*** give me time to contact GSBR with at least 5 days notice. Since the date of this event is Saturday, June 27, you have to let me know not later than Sunday, June 21, to allow me time to call GSBR not later than Monday, June 22, in order to get a refund for your share.
Once I have confirmation from GSBR for the refund, I will Venmo/Paypal the money back to you immediately from my account. (There will probably be a 3-5 day delay before GSBR actually processes the refund, but I will absorb the cost of the float and get your money back to you right away.)
**"Hey, Eric! I just saw this event! Can I sign up late?"**
Yes, but you still need to Venmo/Paypal your share of the booking fee to me, which will be $40.55. If I don't get it within 72 hours after you sign up (or time permitting for me to book you in with GSBR if you sign up last-minute), then I'll remove you from the event.
**Mandatory GSBR Waiver Requirement**
GSBR policies *require* that each attendee signs a liability waiver prior to the event. You can find the waiver [here](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/questions/) (on the right-hand side toward the bottom of the page under the section "Do I Need To Sign A Waiver Form?"), and you should also be able to skip directly to the form [here](https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5c473bb934d6a/web/).
*You must fill out this waver in order to participate in the event*. The form is short and this really shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes, but please send me a DM if you have any issues filling out the document.
**Denouement**
Afterward, for those who are interested, we'll drown our sorrows or celebrate our exultations at [Crooked Can Brewing](https://crookedcanohio.com/) in Hilliard. They also have extensive food options. The actual address of the brewery is [5354 Center St, 43026](https://www.google.com/maps/place/5354+Center+St,+Hilliard,+OH+43026/@40.0339813,-83.1623519,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x883893f9f30108a7:0xbe4c8919aa69e3e7!8m2!3d40.0344541!4d-83.1598828!16s%2Fg%2F11gxsh9f_0?entry=ttu).
Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
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!
Urgent Changes - Freestyle @ Nick's (bring wine)
**Due to a scheduling conflict at 614Alive, we are being bumped. We will reschedule Karaoke to next week and simply have a Freestyle night at Nick's house this week. Thank you for your patience.**
**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\.
**Parking**: Street parking only.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
