DUE TO THE STORM, THE MEETING HAS BEEN SWITCHED TO ZOOM. Topic: DC Horror Reading Conspiracy Time: Jan 29, 2026 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86857350919?pwd=uj141vrNyClVamRt8LyDRPa41CUNka.1 Meeting ID: 868 5735 0919 Passcode: 825563 To kick off 2026, we're reading the master, Stephen King, with one of his later entries, The Outsider. From Amazon: "An unspeakable crime. A confounding investigation. At a time when the King brand has never been stronger, he has delivered one of his most unsettling and compulsively listenable stories. An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad. As the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge, King's propulsive story kicks into high gear, generating strong tension and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy, but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will shock you as only Stephen King can." Please note: This location isn't handicapped-friendly. If that doesn't work for you, please let us know.

But it's not over in France, where during the entire month of January and even a little beyond, families and friends gather, usually on several occasions, to celebrate the 700-year old tradition of Galette des Rois (The King's Cake). The cake, traditionally topped with a golden paper crown, is a sweet and delicious puff pastry confection with almond-flavored frangipane filling. But the celebration is much more than that, as the person who will end up with la fève, a small porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices, becomes a "King/Queen for the Day". Be assured, there will be many kings and queens during our evening! * **Les Voeux:** Wishing "Meilleurs Voeux pour la Nouvelle Annee" (best wishes for the New Year) in France is not just something you do on January 1. French people do it the entire month, and it often becomes the pretext for more celebration and Champagne toasting. **Join us for this most traditional yet lively evening featuring:** * **Delicious Galettes des Rois** prepared by Fresh Baguette * **Hors-D'oeuvre**s prepared by [Chef Daniel Labonne](https://labonnedc.com/ "https://labonnedc.com/"), Executive Chef at the Embassy of France - VIP Hour only * **Degustation of Jambon de Bayonne**, a delicate and delicious cured ham from the Basque region of France. * **Buffet** with delicious French cheeses, cold cuts and veggie options. * **Open bar all night** \- As if you were invited to an upscale party on the Champs Elysees\, set the mood to celebration by enjoying a glass of bubbly or other fine French wine\. * **Champagne** and bubblies from France * Excellent red, white and rosé wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley, Alsace.

NOTE: This is a Saturday event! We hope to see you at the next open community meetup for the MoCo Psychedelic Society, on Saturday, Jan 31st at 1 pm. All are welcome at this event: no prior psychedelic experience is necessary, and you need not have been to one of our prior events to attend. The location will be Meeting Room 1 in the Bethesda Public Library, at 7400 Arlington Road. Parking is available in the lot outside the north door to the building, and the meeting room is the first room on your left as you pass through that door. If travelling by Metro, a red line stop [is a short walk away.](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=red+line+stop+bethesda&atb=v417-1&iaxm=directions&end=what%3AConnie%2520Morella%2520Library%2Cwhere%3A7400%2520Arlington%2520Rd%252C%2520Bethesda%252C%2520MD%2520%252020814%252C%2520United%2520States&transport=walking&start=what%3ABethesda%2520Station%2Cwhere%3ABethesda%2520Station%252C%2520Bethesda%252C%2520MD%252C%2520United%2520States) This meeting will feature a fascinating talk by neuroscientist, Bradley Cooke: **How Psychedelics Affect the Mind: A Neuroscientist's Perspective**. We'll provide tea and light snacks, and there will be ample time after the talk for questions and general psychedelic discussions.

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 2nd-level characters, playable in 2-3 hours. When a nascent godling called the Newborn was birthed from the planet Aucturn, chunks of its planetary womb and embryonic fluids were cast across the Pact Worlds, showering the nearby planets of Apostae and Bretheda, and careening through open space. Most of this debris—called aucturnite—collected in a haunted ice field at outer rim of the system called the Gelid Edge. For all its dangers, the Gelid Edge is a frontier of new discoveries and forbidden knowledge, and many Newborn evangelists, anomaly hunters, and occult researchers have flocked to the region to learn its secrets. Among them is Dreamlink Laboratories, a research facility that used aucturnite to create a dreamscape purportedly born from the thoughts of the Newborn. Using this dreamscape, Dreamlink Labs has pinpointed the location of a site they believe is important to the Newborn, though they lack the experience to perform an on-site exploration alone. It’s up to the Starfinder Society to escort an enthusiastic scientist from Dreamlink Labs to investigate this “holy” site! **Content note**: This scenario contains themes related to graphic depictions of disease and surreal settings intended to invoke disgust. Before you begin, understand that player consent (including that of the Game Master) is vital to a safe and fun play experience for everyone. You should talk with your players before beginning the adventure and modify descriptions of the narrative as appropriate. Written by Rue Dickey.

This virtual meet is all about co-learning and deliberating a social or political topic, and seeing if and where we can find common ground. It's for people who are willing to listen, keep an open mind, respect other people's views and lived experiences, and focus on learning together and finding ways forward. This is a super lite version of some elements of a citizen assembly, which is way to help a group or community render public judgment on a policy question. Agenda: \- community agreements \- brief round of introductions \- topic briefing and positioning statements \- a balanced range of short arguments from across the political spectrum \- small group conversation \- seeking common ground \- we get to vote on any statements or policies we can agree to

Friday night Greenbelt International Folk Dancing has gone "virtual". As we all practice good social distancing, many in our folk dance community are feeling the absence of our usually scheduled local dances. In response, please join us for the Greenbelt Virtual Folk Dance Session. Let’s keep dancing! • Connect and dance in our own homes • Watch hosts leading familiar dances • See each other; listen and dance to our favorites How: We will be using the ZOOM video conferencing app to share music and live videos of the leaders and each other. This can be used on a desktop, laptop, or smartphone. What to Expect: Your hosts are Linda Mansdorf, Vita Hollander, Ben Hole, and John Robinson. Collectively they will play 25-30 dances, which should approximate the number of dances normally done on a Friday night in-person event. The hosts will do a quick teaching or demonstration of the steps to some of the dances that may be less familiar to you or just as a refresher, but the session is not designed as a workshop, so the majority of the evening will be spent playing dances that many of us already know and love to do. How To Join Us: Each week we will send an email with the Zoom Meeting link ID. Make sure John Robinson knows you would like to receive this email with the link.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

We may pick a specific topic and post in advance or may discuss current events and various ad hoc topics . We would love to spend time hanging out and getting to know one another.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

**Day 1 — Foundation & Deal Control** This two-day, end-of-month Real Estate Investing (REI) Intensive is designed for investors who want real traction, not theory. Day One is about controlling the deal flow. We break down how to find opportunities in today’s market, underwrite them correctly, and avoid the emotional and financial traps that wipe out most new and mid-level investors. You’ll learn how operators are sourcing deals right now, how to analyze markets and properties with discipline, and how to structure acquisitions so the numbers work before you ever swing a hammer. This is about building a repeatable system—not chasing the next shiny strategy. **Day 2 — Capital, Execution & Scale** Day Two shifts from deals to execution and scale. We go deep on renovation management, capital stack planning, and exit strategies—fix and flip, buy-and-hold, and hybrid plays—so you understand how to protect downside risk and maximize upside. You’ll see real case studies, real numbers, and real mistakes made by experienced operators, not influencers. The intensive closes by connecting the dots between education and action, showing you how to plug into ongoing coaching, deal opportunities, and higher-level collaboration for investors who are serious about building long-term wealth, not just doing a one-off deal.
