Imagine inviting some of your city officials to an amazing dinner. The table cloth, instead of being a mere accessory to beautify the event, becomes a place to actively dialogue with those around you. While you eat, you are visualizing the conversations presented to you on the table cloth.

Could this be a new alternative to local democratic exchange? If Obama can have a state dinner, could the local community do the same and address issues over a meal? We may not have a presidential budget but each community will have vendors who would likely benefit from the opportunity to be included in such an undertaking.

I can hardly believe it but this event is finally here! The collaborative process was awesome and the iterations diverse! Here is the front cover for the guide I crafted to prepare participants for the experience. There will be more goodies presented at each dinner. Ready or not, here we go!
