CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!

Join us at this CMG Gives Back volunteer event as we get together to help those in need by serving brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking and available in the surrounding area. Please see links / attachments for additional info / details. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Free Herbalism Class - Plants as Medicine @Bryn Du Mansion Granville

Hosted by Bryn Du Mansion - Free to attend "Plants as Medicine" - **A Grounded Introduction to Herbalism for Modern Life** Interest in natural approaches to health has rarely been greater, yet for many people, knowing where to begin—and what information to trust—can feel increasingly difficult. Plants as Medicine offers an inviting, thoughtful introduction to the world of herbalism, exploring how traditional plant knowledge, modern science, and direct sensory experience can come together in a practical way. Herbalist and author Brandon Elijah Scott will use a small selection of familiar medicinal plants to illuminate how herbs work through their chemistry, taste, aroma, preparation, and interaction with the human body, while offering a glimpse into the much larger world of plant medicine. Guests will have opportunities to see, smell, taste, and experience selected herbs while asking questions in an approachable, conversational setting. This special Life Local program also introduces a new chapter of botanical education at Bryn Du, where Brandon will be offering future classes and focused series in practical herbalism, medicinal plants, botanical arts, aromatics, gardening, and the many ways plants can become part of everyday life. Time & Location Nov 10, 2026, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM Bryn Du Mansion, 537 Jones Rd NE, Granville, OH 43023 **About Brandon** Brandon Elijah Scott is a clinical herbalist, author, educator, and botanical formulator carrying forward a family tradition of plant medicine spanning more than 10 generations.

Simply Living Film Series presents: BOMBSHELL

🎬💥 Simply Living Film Series + Special Guest Panel! Join Us for BOMBSHELL! History doesn't just shape our past—it shapes the conversations we're having today! Join Simply Living's Film Series at Gateway Film Center for a special screening of BOMBSHELL, a compelling documentary exploring how the story of the atomic bomb was presented to the public—and the courageous journalists who challenged official narratives and worked to uncover the human cost, even as government censorship limited what could be reported. From local conversations to national headlines and global events, the film raises questions that resonate today: Who shapes the stories we hear? Whose voices are missing? And why does independent journalism matter in a world of competing narratives? ✨ Stay for a special panel discussion featuring director Ben Loeterman, producer Gaia de Simoni, and historian Felecia Ross, moderated by Spencer Hunt, Director of Student Media for The Lantern at Ohio State. Come for the film, stay for the conversation, and discover how lessons from history can deepen our understanding of today's world. 📍 Gateway Film Center \| Columbus\, OH 📅 October 26 \| 6:30–8:30 PM \(Doors open at 6:15 PM\) 🎟️ Tickets $10 (stay tuned for ticket link!) Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and join the conversation! #SimplyLiving #BOMBSHELL #GatewayFilmCenter #ColumbusEvents #IndependentJournalism
