Community Tables: August

We invite you to join us for Community Tables, a gathering dedicated to slowing down, savoring the moment, and getting to know your neighbors. Set at the Southwest Duck Pond, this summer evening is all about building connections, creativity, and community. What to Expect The event begins at 4:00 PM with hands-on activities designed to spark conversation and creativity. Come early—activities will only run during the first hour! We’ll close the evening with a sit-down meal and a moment of collective reflection and sharing. Activities Include:<ul><li>Self-Portraits with Christina Hernandez &amp; Autumn Spears - Create a self-portrait collage guided by local artists—or let them draw you! Feeling shy? Choose three words to describe yourself and become part of a community masterpiece.</li><li>Photo Booth by Stefani Rosales - Snap a portrait with new friends and neighbors. You’ll receive a digital photo to remember the day.</li><li>Poetry Tarot with Neha Misra - Choose a handmade poem card or a curated poetry book and let the poet guide you through a quiet, reflective experience of poetic discovery.</li><li>Hello, Neighbor! Southwest Bingo - Connect through conversation using magical prompts. Complete your bingo card for a chance to win a prize—just be ready to share what you learned!</li></ul>The Meal Following the activities, we’ll gather for a shared sit-down meal provided by Toastique. Seating is limited, so please arrive a few minutes early and plan to stay for the entire duration of the experience.
