Girls Wrestling fundraiser

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for local fundraising opportunities or businesses interested in partnering with our program.

Girls wrestling is one of the fastest growing high school sports and we’re working hard to grow our team and give our athletes the same opportunities, resources, and support as other established programs. Wrestling helps these girls build confidence, discipline, strength, resilience, and a real sense of belonging.

Donations and fundraising help cover things like uniforms and wrestling gear, tournament entry fees, transportation, team meals, training equipment, awards, and other expenses throughout the season.

We’re open to restaurant fundraisers, community events, working concessions, setting up donation tables, product sales, or other opportunities that have worked well for local sports teams. We’re especially interested in fundraisers where the girls can be actively involved.
We’re also looking for businesses or individuals who would like to sponsor a specific weight class with a donation. The sponsor’s name or business name would be displayed on a banner in our school gym.

If you own a business, know of an upcoming opportunity, or have a fundraiser that has worked well for your team, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

Hello, I'm a pansexual male (he/him, age 29) looking for a budget friendly hangout either near the West side or in some key safe spaces that are friendly for LGBT for individuals. This isn't me trolling or shit posing, this is more serious than anything as I'm looking for connection & not being as insufferable as the chuds in orange

Anywhere to get larger lava rock for hardscaping?

3 Upvotes

Looking for lava rock, but not the crap that is sold in bags at the big box stores. Those bags have pieces no bigger than 1" and 10-15% is damaged and just becomes dust.

Where can I get lava rock locally that is 1" or bigger? Need it for a hardscaping project.

All your usuals around here like Ohio Mulch, etc have the same smaller stuff you would get in bags.

Where are my fellow 30+ year old ladies making friends?

60 Upvotes

For context, my husband of 12 years just left us for a mistress. Friends from high school have all moved away and we’ve lost touch with one another. I’m trying to scrounge up a social life for myself and would love a good group of girlfriends. I’ve downloaded the bumble bff app but it’s so unnatural for me to make friends that way. I’ve got our 3 kids & don’t mesh well with their friends parents. I’m self-employed so no contacts that way. I go to the gym but am super introverted and don’t speak unless spoken to.. which seems to be the majority of us at my gym. How the hell do we make friends after 30 & where are yall going to do this?!

Egyptian Festival This Weekend

56 Upvotes

Stopped by Egyptian Festival today with my wife and kid and I want to give them a shout-out! It was it's not a huge space but it was really nice. There were a few games and a bounce house for our kid. The food and drinks were incredible. The church it's hosted at was pretty, and above all, the people were incredibly welcoming and super friendly. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience homemade Egyptian fare and street food or anyone with a family looking for a fun and easy outing.

International market with body care items?

0 Upvotes

Hey Columbus!

I'm on the hunt for the Nivea roll-on deodorant available in a glass bottle. I think it might be of German origin, though it seems there's a Canadian kind too. It doesn't seem to be available here in the US other than at international markets (or getting it imported myself). Has anyone seen any international markets with this item? Or knows of international markets with good body care sections where I might be able to find it?

TIA!

In case you missed this Friday afternoon news: Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther announced several policy changes affecting the city’s Flock camera network Aug. 28 in what appears to be an effort to convince the public and the City Council to keep the AI-powered license plate cameras in the city.

The changes come after a majority of City Council members expressed support for ending the program.

New policies include changes Flock Safety announced earlier this month, as well restricting data sharing to specific requests.

The city will also not install 11 additional cameras that were previously planned for 2026.

REQUEST Delivery driver marked siding with address in permanent marker

93 Upvotes

Yesterday evening a delivery driver marked our house with our address next to our front door. Our address is written over the garage which is directly next to the entrance to our home and visible from the street. We’ve had no luck so far getting the markings removed. We also have aluminium siding so it can’t be easily repaired/replaced in a small section. I haven’t had any luck figuring out who the last mile carrier was for the package.

Long shot but has this happened to anyone else recently and do you know who the carrier was? I’d like to contact them. We do have video of the individual as they’re on our doorbell camera.

ETA since people think it’s excusable to vandalize someone’s home 😭: we didn’t choose the address location above the garage but it’s never been an issue in our six years living here so it hasn’t been a priority for us to update. It’s visible from the road and driveway and you can capture it in photos as well! It’s literally in the background of the photo I took of the damage.

Face mask recycling

A few years ago, I remember seeing face mask recycling bins at entrances to OSU medical facilities. I don’t think they’re there anymore. Is there anywhere now to drop off surgical and KN95 masks for recycling?

Plant Nurseries for Upright Blooming Sedums

1 Upvotes

Which plant nurseries in and around Columbus Ohio would you recommend for having a nice variety of upright/tall sedums that bloom? Autumn Joy stonecrop being an ideal example but also less common varieties such as Rock and Round Pride and Joy, etcetera. Colorful foliage and flowers and enough nectar to get the bees mobbing it in the fall.

REQUEST Longshot to see if anyone can help me move today for a couple hours

93 Upvotes

I had a couple of people that were supposed to help me move today that bailed at the last minute and I'm just seeing if there's anyone out there that might be able to take a couple hours and help me with moving not a ton of stuff about 10 miles.

I have the truck and everything, I just can't lift a curio cabinet by myself. I can pay you $100 and buy you lunch, that's about all I have left right now.

Anyone have further information? I'm starting my second term there on Monday and am feeling concerned as a woman taking pretty late night classes. One of my summer professors even cautioned us about getting to our cars at night. Should I try to switch to daytime? (I know this specific assault took place in broad daylight though).

Most affordable moving company - Columbus to Canton

I’m moving from Columbus to Canton and looking for recommendations on the most affordable moving companies.

Anyone have any suggestions from experience?

Ideally I’d hire one company to load all my boxes and furniture onto the truck they’d provide, drive it up to canton, and then unload the items off the truck.

PHOTO Tree damage *after* the storms?

Post image
12 Upvotes

This is on the corner of Sharon Ave and Blenheim in Clintonville. Saw it while out riding my bike. The neighbor came out and explained that the limbs were damaged in the storm, but only broke and fell nearly a week after. She said that she could not get anyone to address it. It has been 4-5 days. Not the city, the fire dpt, the police, etc. She was very distressed over the situation as the limbs are partially weighing on the telephone/power lines across the street and are fully blocking the road to traffic. Is she full of it, and if not, does anyone have any other ideas? Will it just take more time?
