Went on a Thursday night to Bingo. This was our first time, but the Post has been doing bingo on…read moreThursday nights for a bit over a year now. It was a lot busier than I expected as there were about 54 players. The volunteers were very friendly. A few regulars noticed we were new and immediately helped us understand the game since we'd never played most of the types. They also had a bunch of various other games like "horse race", Snappys, and other ones that I have no idea how to play. I was surprised by how many types of bingo there were so I didn't want to overcomplicate things by trying the other ones. They also have events like community meals, parades, and more.

The Post allowed our Widows Sons chapter motorcycle riders association to meet in their shelter house in the morning. The afternoon features a ride south to the Chillicothe Veterans Administration Hospital where a donation is scheduled to be made. The people here are friendly, the grounds are beautifully maintained & it's a great place for events.

I believe that the people who have given this place a 5-star review are employees or friends of…read moreemployees. The office will not let you initiate direct communication with your case worker. If you call, they will not answer and when you leave a voicemail, they will not return your call. My case worker Mr. Hardin was not helpful. it has been several weeks of me trying to communicate with him. They are beyond rude to tell people they're here to help them. When I would call the rude unprofessional receptionist acts like a warden. All she does is forward your call to voicemail. When I asked to speak to someone else I was told that the only person I could talk to is the person with my file. You cannot get a prompt answer to know the status of your application.

Yet another reason why Columbus is badass? This city is hoppin' with young pros, 10,000 of which…read moretake part in this (not so) little organization - one of the top three young professional networks in the US! Reasons why I love CYP: 1. FREE membership - rather than pay a flat rate per year, you only pay for the events you're interested in attending, many of which only cost $5-$10 dollars and tend to include free food/drinks 2. Variety - CYP events can be seasonal sports leagues, socials, networking breakfasts, movie nights, local cultural events, etc. You name it, CYP's probably got it. They're open to suggestions for new venues and ideas so you never know what will be offered next. 3. Networking - I might be a little biased on this one coming from a PR background, but I LOVE that this group incorporates people from all different professions. Events are a great way to step out of your comfort zone and meet some really interesting people. 4. Leadership and volunteer opportunities - with weekly events and access to hundreds of non-profits, clearly these opportunities will present themselves. They're another great way to access and connect with the community. With so many members, events can be overwhelming at times. The business events can get stuffy sometimes too, but I suppose that's to be expected since I'm probably one of the youngest members in the group (yeah, 22!) Either way, if you're young and looking for fun, networking and sweet experiences in Columbus, you should probably join CYP.

After living in DC and being a part of a very active Young Professionals network, I wished that…read morethere was something similar here in Columbus. Fortunately, the Columbus Young Professionals were just being formed at that time and I hurried to join. Unfortunately, an opportunity opened up for me out of Ohio and I put my membership on hold. Fast-forward 2 years later. I moved back to Columbus and found that the Columbus Young Professionals I had left behind had grown to be one of the premiere young professionals organizations in the country! They hold a nice variety of events so you are bound to find something that you like to do. There are a wide range of members but do be careful of those that see this as a dating club when you are there to network and meet other like minded professionals. I've met many new, wonderful friends in this group...but I've also met some people who restraining orders would be more appropriate. But that's really the case with any group. Just know what you're getting into. Membership is FREE and you only pay for what you do within the group. For example, there is a monthly member dinner which is fee to attend. You just pay for your meal. Other events, such as outings to the Funny Bone, have discounted tickets (normally $30 but $5 for CYP members). They also have volunteer opportunities to help give back to the community. I'm glad to be back and getting back into a group that with over 10,000 members has become the 3rd largest Young Professionals Network in the US!
