Columbus Ski Club Happy Hour on third Wednesday

Please join us the 3rd Wednesday of each month to learn more about the Columbus Ski Club and what we have to offer. Pizza, wings and a variety of appetizers provided. We are a non-profit organization founded in 1958 with over 800 members. The club has grown beyond the single mission of providing members with not only quality skiing events but also year round social and sport activities. Our gatherings are an opportunity for members and non-members to interact and learn about the many activities offered such as euchre, billiards, volleyball, pickleball, tennis, bowling, golf & softball leagues along with ski and non-ski trips. Our members also plan group activities such as visits to wine tastings, bike trips, comedy clubs, concerts, plays and local sports games, etc. CSC membership is not required to belong to the Meetup group. Membership is required in order to participate in most club activities (CSC member). However, anyone (21 and over) is welcome at our meeting gatherings which consist of checking out our current activities and socializing. The annual dues for club membership are $35 with the membership year from September 1st – August 31st.

Dog Walk at Franklin Park Conservatory

Dog Walk - come enjoy the beautiful grounds at Franklin Park Conservatory with or without your dog! We’ll meet on the path near the entrance. Paths are paved and nicely maintained but sunny! The loop I take is approx. 2mi around. There are plenty of shortcuts back if that’s too far or we can take it twice if the dogs are up to it. Please keep all dogs leashed as per park rules, thanks!

Let's get Creative!

Just in time for holiday gift giving - let's spark our creativity and gather at Worthington Candle Works for a hands-on sensory experience. We will have options to create a custom-scented candle, body scrub, soap, reed diffuser, lotion or room spray. We can all choose our own product to make and take home with us that day. Please note that candles require a 2-hour set time, which is a perfect time to head to lunch at Dewey's Pizza, which is only a 100 foot walk from Worthington Candle Works. The pricing is as follows: all items other than candles are $28; candles are $25-$50, depending on size

November Nature Walk

Join WQC for our monthly nature walk. This month, we’ll do a two-mile gravel loop around Blendon Woods. This trail series has some hills and stairs, which we’ll take at a medium pace to admire all the amazing views and ecosystems. Bring your favorite birding or plant identification book. If we’re lucky, we’ll see some wild turkeys! All fitness levels welcome! WQC nature walks are LGBTQIA+ spaces, but allies are welcome. Note: this trail is not mobility scooter or pet accessible.

1st Tour: Pilot Dogs, Lunch at Tommy’s Diner, and optional walk after

**One of our members, Patty is a volunteer at Pilot Dogs, which led to this event. A Pilot Dog can transform the life of someone who is blind or visually impaired, providing freedom and self-confidence. What a priceless gift.** **If you’d like to learn more about how this is done, or have an interest in volunteering for Pilot Dogs, please join us for this 90 minute tour.** **We will follow with lunch at Tommy’s Diner (recommended by the Pilot Dog staff) and an optional walk after on the Scioto Audubon. https://maps.app.goo.gl/gKsoyanQEsK49YW87?g_st=ic**
