Meeting new people in this day and age may seem like an easy thing to do but in reality, it is just more intimidating and confusing.  Most online websites only help you connect and network virtually... that is not truly making new friends.  Other groups around Columbus offer lots of business education and networking or perhaps a place to meet singles.  Again, not the ideal place to simply kick-back in a casual environment. This is where Dimensional Entertainment come in.  We take the online com …

If you are like me--a working parent--you only have after work and weekends to do fun things with your little ones. This group will schedule outings that you and your toddler will enjoy, ON THE WEEKENDS OR AFTER WORK ONLY. I've been a member of other parent/toddler groups, but they all seems to schedule meetups during working hours, or the activities were a little too advanced for my 2yo. My goal is to provide my child with as many learning and development opportunities, while also providing a s …
