You are invited to the "Our House" Community Table cookout in Lexington
On Saturday, August 24th a very special community event will take place in Lexington that is going to be monumental. It is a pleasure to announce a project that was developed and is now named - “Our House” The Community Table Project (OHCTP).
The OHCTP is an idea born out of need. The need for the local community to remain connected and engaged through an ongoing series of events designed to foster conversation, influence growth, gather and share resources and inspire action.
Each event is a chance for the entire community to fellowship and to get together.
The OHCTP events are planned for various locations throughout the city, with all event being scheduled 2 months apart.
OHCTP has a goal to identify local “Influencers” to join the project and through OHCTP, help regenerate traditions and rituals in the community which keep us all together, like:
Recognizing Elders & Remembering Ancestors
Recognizing Community Achievements & Life Moments
Reestablish Law Enforcement & Community Connections
Foster Church & Community Connections
Reconnecting & Fellowship Over A Meal.
The first event is a community cookout and everyone in the city is invited. Come see old friends and people that you have not seen in years. Sit around and talk, laugh and share. Join in the fun of the evening which includes free food, games, music, stories, vendors with free community resources and a unique day of celebrating togetherness. There will also be local community leaders in attendance for you to meet in person.
