What is it?

Don’t miss this chance to be part of something special! The Longest Table is a discussion model popular nationwide to bring people together over a meal for community-building and engaging conversation. We are proud to bring this event to Calvert County. Buy a ticket for yourself and if you’re feeling generous, buy an extra ticket for someone else. We also welcome sponsors.

When is it?

Tuesday, September 16, 5-7pm (discussion and dinner begin at 5:30pm)

What is This Year’s Topic?

Join us for a shared meal and conversation to shine a light on the opportunities Calvert offers. Some say there’s nothing for young people here but maybe we just aren’t connecting with what’s here. Come share what you know and explore ways our community helps teens and emerging adults build skills, find belonging and thrive–with help from all of us. Registration required.
