Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. This time, we will meet at the home of one of our members. Address will be given to those attending prior to the event. **Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink.** We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat! Note: We are asking that our members help out by contributing $5 or whatever they are able to at each Pot Luck Gathering to offset costs. Many Thanks! Lisa Arzate

Columbus Stargazing 101: Decoding the Night Sky

Sun, Oct 18, 10:00 PM
From Stargazing For Beginners Under The Stars

If you have ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what you were actually seeing, this event is for you. We are getting together in Columbus to learn the basics of navigating the stars, constellations, and planets without needing a degree in astronomy or expensive equipment. This is a low-pressure, beginner-friendly space where we can share what we know, ask questions, and simply enjoy being outside under the clear sky. Whether you have a pair of binoculars gathering dust or you are starting completely from scratch, you will fit right in. We plan to spend the evening identifying key markers in the sky and sharing tips on how to get more comfortable with stargazing on your own. Please bring a comfortable chair or a blanket to sit on, and dress for the evening temperature, as it can get a bit chilly once the sun goes down. We are capping the group size to keep things conversational and easy to manage, so please grab a spot on the RSVP list if you are planning to join us. I look forward to meeting you and doing a bit of stargazing together.

Columbus Strum and Socialize Jam Circle

Sun, Oct 18, 10:00 PM
From Strum and Socialize Guitar Jam Circle

Whether you have been playing guitar for years or are just starting to feel comfortable with your first few chords, this jam circle is a space to connect with other local players. We gather in a relaxed, low-pressure environment to share songs, trade tips, and enjoy the simple act of making music together. There is no performance pressure here; it is purely about community and getting our instruments out of their cases. If you are looking for a friendly group to play with or just want to meet other guitarists in Columbus, you are more than welcome to join us. We usually spend the session rotating through song requests and helping each other out with chord progressions or rhythm patterns. Please bring your acoustic guitar, a tuner, and a willingness to learn from one another. We would love to have you join the circle, so if you think you can make it, please take a moment to RSVP so we know how many chairs to set up.

From Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts
4.7

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

If you don't find a Canasta group near you, consider starting one yourself. Creating a group on Meetup is an effective way to attract other local enthusiasts who share your interest.

Some Canasta groups may offer online gatherings, especially if members have varying schedules. Check each group's event type to find out if they meet virtually or in a physical location.

By attending various Meetup events, you can meet people with different playing styles and preferences. Over time, you'll likely find compatible players with whom you enjoy playing regularly.

While Meetup connects people with similar interests, it cannot guarantee meeting specific individuals. Expanding your involvement in various groups increases your chances of finding fellow enthusiasts.

The quality and organization of Meetup groups can vary as they are managed by independent organizers. It's a good idea to read group reviews and event descriptions to find ones that align with your expectations.

Group availability depends on your location and interest popularity. Use Meetup's search to see if Canasta groups exist nearby, or try expanding your search area for more options.

Meetup is designed for group activities, not one-on-one matchmaking. However, events provide various social opportunities where personal connections can naturally develop.
