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

Sun, Aug 30, 2:20 PM
From The Columbus Movie Group
4.7

Join us at this CMG Gives Back volunteer event as we get together to help those in need by serving brunch at Fath 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 are 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

Under-the-Radar Gem: TONY at the Drexel Theatre!

Under-the-Radar Gem: TONY at the Drexel Theatre!

Fri, Aug 21, 10:30 PM
From The Columbus Movie Group
4.7

Join us as we get together to see the biographical-drama, TONY! The film follows a young Anthony Bourdain and his early years working in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film is set in 1976 where a 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain wants to be a writer. But, when he takes a summer job working for a Brazilian-born restaurateur, it sets a course that will shape the rest of his life. TONY is co-written and directed by Matt Johnson and stars Dominic Sessa (who many of you will remember from 2023’s excellent film The Holdovers) along with Emilia Jones, Dagmara Domińczyk, Rich Sommer, Stavros Halkias, Leo Woodall and Antonio Banderas. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1MVnzd2aVc BUZZ & ACCLAIM: Offically our hidden gem of the Summer! The film is earning a stellar 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “a scrappy coming-of-age story that's equal parts sweet and tart,” Tony is also “a splendid tribute to mentorship, complete with a standout performance by Antonio Banderas.” Critics call it, “A zesty, energetic biopic” that taps into “the nostalgia of naïve youth while examining how creativity is born.” It’s “one of the finest….coming-of-age films in recent years” and “the most heartwarming comedy of the year!” PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing followed by a long overdue post-show bite at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised! Be sure to mention you are with the Movie Group for admission / concession discounts. Exact showtime and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Should be a good one, Dan
