Polyglot Club - * РУССКИЙ* / Français
\* RUSSE\*
Bienvenue à tous et toutes!
Le Polyglot Club est une communauté d'échange inclusive, dynamique et conviviale qui valorise la curiosité, la créativité et toutes les différences.
Nous nous retrouvons tous les vendredis de 20h à minuit au Denfert Café pour pratiquer le russe et le français (avec nos amis russophones) et échanger sur les cultures russophones.
Pour faciliter ces échanges libres, vous serez accueilli(e) à votre arrivée par \*AXELLE\* & \*MARIE\* qui vous expliqueront le concept et le fonctionnement de nos soirées. Chaque participant(e) recevra une étiquette avec son prénom/ pseudo... même si vous ne maîtrisez pas le russe.
Ce qui nous intéresse, c'est votre ouverture d'esprit et ce que chacun(e) peut apporter à la communauté en termes de diversité et de spécificités linguistiques et/ ou culturelles autour du russe et de ses variations nationales ou régionales.
Impatients de vous rencontrer!
\* РУССКИЙ\*
Приветствуем всех!
Клуб Полиглотов — это инклюзивное, динамичное и дружелюбное сообщество, которое ценит любознательность, креативность и любые различия.
Мы встречаемся каждую пятницу с 20:00 до полуночи в кафе Denfert, чтобы практиковать русский и французский (с нашими русскоязычными друзьями) и обсуждать русскоязычные культуры.
Для неформального общения вас по прибытии встретят \*АКСЕЛЬ\* и \*МАРИ\*, которые объяснят концепцию и как проходят наши вечера. Каждый участник получит бейджик с именем/псевдонимом... даже если вы не владеете русским свободно.
Нас интересует ваша открытость и то, что каждый человек может привнести в сообщество с точки зрения языкового и/или культурного разнообразия, а также особенностей русского языка и его национальных или региональных вариантов.
Мы с нетерпением ждем встречи с вами!
🇫🇷🇨🇳 Échange linguistique franco-chinois chaque vendredi 🇨🇳🇫🇷
🇨🇳🇫🇷 Événement d'échange linguistique franco-chinois
🗓 Chaque vendredi 🕖 De 19h00 à 22h30
📍 Adresse : 47 rue au maire 75003 Paris
Bonjour à tous !
Vous souhaitez améliorer vos compétences en français ou en chinois ? Rejoignez-nous pour notre événement hebdomadaire d'échange linguistique franco-chinois ! Ici, vous aurez l'opportunité de rencontrer des locaux, de nouer de nouvelles amitiés et de vous immerger dans un échange culturel riche et dynamique.
Voici le déroulement de la soirée :
🍽 De 19h00 à 19h40 : Dîner en groupe (optionnel) et discussion Venez dîner dans un restaurant chinois (frais à votre charge) en compagnie des autres participants afin de faire connaissance et de discuter ensemble.
🗣 De 19h40 à 22h20 : Sessions d'échange linguistique À 19h40, nous formerons des groupes de discussion de trois personnes. Actuellement, en raison du nombre plus élevé de participants chinois, les groupes seront composés de deux personnes parlant chinois et d'une personne parlant français. Étant donné que la plupart des participants chinois ont un niveau intermédiaire ou avancé en français, les groupes de trois personnes permettent des échanges moins gênants et une participation équilibrée de chacun. Chaque groupe passera 20 minutes à converser dans une langue, puis 20 minutes dans l'autre.
⏱ Durant toute la soirée : Toutes les 40 minutes, vous aurez la possibilité de changer de table ou de modifier le nombre de participants dans votre groupe.
Cet événement est entièrement gratuit, à l'exception de vos dépenses pour les boissons.
Nous avons hâte de vous rencontrer !

PEM axe + ses sorties sur les lieux insolites, les découvertes, la nature et le sport sur Paris et l'île de France.
PEM organise pas de promenades ou de randonnées dans le style des conférenciers, ils sont assez nombreux sur Paris, ils sont très bons dans leur domaine et leurs tarifs, les durées de leurs événements et leurs vitesses de marche ne sont pas les mêmes que nous. Si possible à chaque fin de parcours nous allons prendre un verre. Vous aurez pas au cours d'une promenade ou d'une randonnée une conférence sur 'histoire de France" ou sur "l'histoire d'un quartier". Un guide papier avec l'historique du parcours
vous seras donné en début de sortie.
Le but premier c'est de discuter et d'échanger avec des personnes dans le groupe qui viennent de tous les univers et d'un peu partout dans le monde tout en découvrant une exposition cachée, un bar insolite, une pâtisserie qui sort de l'ordinaire, un trompe l'oeil, des enseignes classées, un musée inhabituel, des graffitis pratiquement illisibles, un marché improbable, une forêt, une ferme... :-)
Nous sommes un groupe atypique.
Au plaisir de vous voir lors d'un prochain événement :-)

Trails & Ales! Blacklick Woods Metro Park / Prost Beer & Wine Café
**History**
[Blacklick Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blacklick-woods/), established in 1949, holds the distinction of being the first Columbus Metro Park. Its creation stemmed from a post-World War II push to preserve natural areas amid rapid suburban growth. The land, originally farmland and woodlots along Blacklick Creek, was acquired by the Columbus Metropolitan Park Board through donations and purchases. Early efforts focused on basic trail development and reforestation to combat erosion. The park's name derives from the creek, which early settlers called "Black Lick" due to its dark, mineral-rich waters. By the 1950s, it served as a model for the expanding Metro Parks system.
In the 1960s, Blacklick Woods expanded significantly with additional land acquisitions, reaching over 600 acres. A golf course was added in 1964, one of the first public courses in the region, designed to generate revenue for park maintenance. Native American artifacts, including arrowheads from the Adena culture, were discovered during construction, highlighting the area's prehistoric use as hunting grounds. The park introduced interpretive programs to educate visitors on local ecology and history. Flood control measures along the creek became a priority after heavy rains caused damage. These developments solidified its role as a recreational hub.
The 1970s and 1980s brought environmental awareness, leading to habitat restoration projects at Blacklick Woods. Invasive species were removed, and native wildflowers were planted in the meadows. A nature center opened in 1976, featuring exhibits on wetlands and forests. The park's slate-covered bridge, a remnant of 19th-century infrastructure, was preserved as a historic feature. Birdwatching gained popularity with the addition of observation decks. Community volunteers played a key role in trail maintenance and cleanups.
During the 1990s, Blacklick Woods underwent major upgrades, including paved multi-use trails for biking and hiking. The Walter A. Tucker Nature Preserve, a 53-acre old-growth forest within the park, was dedicated in 1995 to protect rare beech-maple woodlands. Educational partnerships with local schools introduced field trips on topics like stream ecology. The golf course was renovated to improve playability while minimizing environmental impact. Annual events, such as the fall festival, drew thousands to celebrate the park's natural beauty. These enhancements balanced recreation with conservation.
In the 21st century, Blacklick Woods has adapted to increasing visitation with sustainable practices. Solar panels were installed at facilities in the 2010s to reduce energy costs. The park now spans 643 acres, offering diverse habitats from wetlands to uplands. Recent initiatives include pollinator gardens and prescribed burns to maintain prairie areas. It remains a flagship for the Metro Parks, inspiring similar preservations system-wide. Ongoing archaeological surveys continue to uncover traces of early inhabitants.
**Map of the Park**
Here is a [map of Blacklick Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/BLK-map-May-2025-with-extended-greenway_1980px.jpg).
**Summary**
For this event, we will hike about 4.5 miles by doing a couple loops of the Buttonbush, Tucker, Maple Loop, and Beech trails. Blacklick Woods is a very nice park, but it is generally flat and not strenuous, so this will be one of the easier hikes that we do.
**Where We'll Meet**
Drive all the way to the back of the park to the parking lot that is nearest the Nature Center. There are restrooms here next to the Canopy Walk. We'll meet near these restrooms.
Speaking of the [Canopy Walk](https://www.metroparks.net/blog/canopy-walk-is-your-gateway-to-the-sky/), it's not officially part of the event this time. However, if interested people want to freelance and check it out after the hike (before heading to the brewery), that's okay.
**After the Hike**
After we're done with the trails, we'll head to [Prost Beer & Wine Café](https://prostcafe.com/) for drinks and [food](https://prostcafe.com/reynoldsburg-prost-beer-and-wine-cafe-food-menu). The actual address of the brewery is [7354 E Main St, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068](https://www.google.com/maps/place/7354+E+Main+St,+Reynoldsburg,+OH+43068/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8838648cfb8d2dbb:0x545274bab130e9bb?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and we should be there by 5:00 if you just want to do that and skip the hike.

Contra dance with Big Scioty on Jan 3 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Gaye Fifer**
**Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown**
**Big Scioty Contra Dance**
**temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215**
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.

White Stone Ceremony – A New Name, A New Beginning
You are invited to participate in one of Unity’s most meaningful and empowering traditions—the **White Stone Ceremony**. As we enter a new year, this sacred ritual gives you the opportunity to listen within, connect with Spirit, and claim a new name or intention for your life.
In ancient times, receiving a white stone symbolized freedom, new identity, and fresh possibility. Today, we continue that tradition by holding a smooth white stone, entering a quiet meditation, and allowing Spirit to reveal a word, name, or message that reflects who you are becoming.
