Join us for Calvert County's first "The Longest Table" event to share a light meal and meaningful conversations. Hear from Registrar of Wills Margaret Phipps, how the community united after the 1882 Courthouse fire and share your community cooperation stories from hurricanes, ice storms and COVID. Let's celebrate our resilience and unity while forging new connections for the future!
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. Since it is our first, we are starting small and we'll want your feedback afterwards. Tickets are very limited so commit early! Buy a ticket for yourself and if you're feeling generous, buy an extra ticket for someone else. Choose to add guests and enter their name as Donation.
