Let’s talk, Dover!
Join your neighbors for a free meal, a conversation about local issues, and the opportunity to connect to take action.
While gathered around tables and enjoying dinner, you’ll be asked to share a local issue that’s on your mind – and have a chance to connect with others who might feel the same way.
It’s an opportunity to learn more about fellow community members and concerns they have about Dover – and just maybe make a commitment with someone you meet to take action.
Children’s activities will be available so families can attend while the grown-ups engage in conversation.
A family-style meal of pasta and salad will be served, with gluten free and vegetarian options available.
RSVP Today!
This event is entirely free to attend — all we ask is that you share a local issue that you would like to discuss.
