 Community Connection
November 20, 2024 (5:30-7:30pm)
Join us for an evening of tasty treats and conversation!

About This Event

Come converse with friends, neighbors and local community members while dining on an array of delightful appetizers and desserts, drinks will be available as well (by donation). 

Community Connection is an evening, to gather as a community and to share in cordial conversation on various topics. After tasting treats and socializing with friends, neighbors & perfect strangers, we'll invite everyone to sit down for an opportunity for engaging conversations. We'll have tables with discussion prompts, covering a wide variety of topics possibly including some social issues as well, for us all to share, connect & discuss. 


What to expect?
We’ll engage in a “conversational café” modeled after the World Café.
“The World Café is a true and verifiable revolution. It has revolutionized our expectations of what’s possible in a world of polarization and conflict. Before the World Café, we didn’t know we could have intimate conversations in large groups of strangers. We didn’t know that if we listen well and speak from the heart, we are no longer strangers — just humans eager to connect and make a difference. We didn’t know that it could be so simple and uncomplicated to connect at deep levels of shared meaning. 

This event is in the spirit of our community dinners and social hours, a time to share and connect with each other. You never know, you might even make a new lifelong friend!

Menu:
  • Fresh fruit & Italian cheeses
  • Sweet potato hummus with bread & vegetables
  • Ferry Beach Soup Bar
