October Events and Activities with the CYP CLUB
For those of you looking for some great social, professional, cultural, athletic, and philanthropic activities this October, the CYP CLUB has got it all.

We'll kick off October with a promotion and presence at 'A Taste of Grandview Heights' on Sunday, October 3rd, followed by our Speaker Networking Breakfast (monthly topic: "How Paying it Forward Pays you Back") on Tuesday, October 5th, and a Culture Series group outing to see 'Berlin to Broadway,' with Opera Columbus and Outlook Columbus on Thursday, October 7th and Friday, October 8th. You'll have two chances to see this spectacular show and get invited to a private, pre-show reception at the historic Lincoln Theatre on either night!

Then we'll kick it up a notch with a Movie Night & Happy Hour to see 'The Social Network' on Monday, October 11th at the Arena Grand Theatre just a few days before our BIG social event of the Fall, the CYP CLUB Fall Member Mixer at Park Street Cantina on Wednesday, October 13th!

New Event: Movie Night & Happy Hour on Oct. 11
Join other CYP CLUB members and friends for a Movie Night on Monday, October 11th at the Arena Grand to see The Social Network along with a Happy Hour to get you acquainted with some folks in our social network. Cost is $10 per person, which includes: Your first drink, a movie ticket to see The Social Network with your new friends, and a pre-show social event with other members of the CYP CLUB.
