Community Foundation to hold informational meeting for ‘On the Table’ project

The​ ​Community​ ​Foundation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Chattahoochee​ ​Valley​ will hold an information​al ​session​ ​for nonprofits, churches and businesses, introducing them to a civic engagement initiative called “On the Table.”

The meeting will be held Sept. 18, 10:30 a.m., in the Patrick Theatre of the Columbus Museum, located at 1251 Wynnton Road.

Columbus is one of 10 cities across the United States selected for the program. Plans will culminate Nov. 7 when area residents host people in their homes, as well as other locations, for mealtime conversations focused on improving the community.

“In communities across the Chattahoochee Valley, thousands of Columbus-area residents will come together in small groups on November 7 for On the Table,” according to a news release issued by the organization. “Residents will break bread and discuss not only what’s great about our community, but also ways to make it even better — more sustainable, safe, strong and vibrant. "

The project is designed to elevate civic conversation, foster new relationships and inspire collaborative action.

“​On The Table needs nonprofits, religious organizations and businesses to help spread the word, enhance the momentum and ultimately participate on November 7th in a day of civic engagement that will allow Chattahoochee Valley residents to express issues affecting the community and ways to make it better,” the release said.
