Across the Table Carleton Dinner
at Club Lucky

Monday, May 16, 2011, 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Club Lucky
1824 West Wabansia
Chicago (in the Bucktown neighborhood)

Join the non-profit Across the Table (www.acrossthetable.org) and your fellow Carleton College alumni for a delicious dinner and a meaningful conversation at the casual Italian restaurant Club Lucky in Bucktown.  We'll enjoy a family-style dinner and a facilitated, fun, dynamic and meaningful conversation.  The topic of conversation is:  What are the social responsibilities of educated people, and how does our education impact who we are and how we live our lives?

The menu will be announced soon!

Across the Table is a non-profit which breaks down race and socio-economic barriers by uniting Chicagoans to share meals and dynamic conversation in order to lead to an understanding and appreciation of participants’ differences and common experiences.

Across the Table’s participants enjoy dinners throughout the city of Chicago at ethnically diverse restaurants and even in cooking schools.  Each dinner group is limited to eight people and includes a trained volunteer who will facilitate the discussion.  Participants can register for individual dinners or for a series of dinners.  The individual dinners allow participants to get a taste of Across the Table, and the dinner series enable participants to dine with the same people at each dinner, allowing them to develop deeper connections to their fellow participants.  Each dinner will be focused around a specific topic for discussion, but expanding beyond the initial discussion topic is welcomed.

Cost is $30 and includes dinner.   Registration is required.  Register at http://attwithcc.eventbrite.com/.
