[Lekooks] A Wonderful Opportunity

Thu Sep 21 17:17:20 CDT 2017

I am a member of the Oconomowoc Area Foundation Board and we are part of
the On the Table initiative to get people who don't normally sit down
together to talk to do just that!  Our goal is start conversations all over
town on or around the 17th of October.  There are MANY ways to
participate.  You can host or attend, please follow the links below to
learn more.  We hope to generate conversations and ideas around the concept
of community.

Please fell free to call me with questions,

Dear Oconomowoc Community Friend,

As a friend of the Oconomowoc Area Foundation <http://www.theoaf.org>
(OAF), and in partnership with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation
<http://www.gratermilwaukeefoundation.org> (GMF), on a single day, *Tuesday,
Oct. 17, 2017*, we invite you to be part of an exciting, region-wide
initiative to explore the ways in which we have the power to collaborate
and contribute to a more vibrant and connected region.

The event is called: *On The Table* <http://www.onthetablemke.org>*.*

That day and evening, thousands of Greater Milwaukee-area residents will
pull up a chair at gatherings like ours to discuss the future of our
communities while sharing a meal together. Ours will be one of hundreds of
locations across the four-county region of Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington,
and Ozaukee, hosting similar events where community residents from all ages
and backgrounds will come together to put real issues and solutions “on the
table” and share their commitments to helping shape our collective future.

Have we piqued your interest? Ready to participate in the conversation?
There are three ways you can join the *On The Table* movement here in Lake
Country:

   - Become a registered Table Host at your own home or space of your
   choice
   - Become a registered Table Host of 10 people at the official OAF *On
   The Table* Event site
   - Attend as a registered guest at the official OAF *On The Table* Event
   site

The OAF will have two opportunities to gather at an OAF sponsored
table. *Participation
at The Official OAF On The Table site is FREE**.* The location and times
are as follows:

*Official OAF On The Table Event Site*

*Oconomowoc Community Center, 220 W. Wisconsin Avenue
<https://maps.google.com/?q=220+W.+Wisconsin+Avenue&entry=gmail&source=g>*

*Session One:  7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.*

*Session Two: 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.*

Light refreshments will be provided and space is limited at the official
OAF *On The Table* event site, but know that there are unlimited
opportunities for you to support and host your own event at your home, or
space of your choosing.

Please contact OAF Coordinator Maribeth Bush to register your participation
at 262-490-5670 <%28262%29%20490-5670> or via email mbush at wi.rr.com.
Anyone who wants to independently host a table at a time/place of their
choice, go to the registration page <http://onthetablemke.org/register/> at
the main *On the Table* website.

On October 10, (one week prior to the event) table hosts are asked to pick
up event kits in the lobby of The Oconomowoc Arts Center (641 E. Forest
Street
<https://maps.google.com/?q=641+E.+Forest+Street&entry=gmail&source=g>).
At the conclusion of *On the Table* events, GMF will send every registered
participant (hosts and guests) a short email survey to learn more about
their experiences and their commitments. In addition, hosts will receive a
feedback form to complete and return to the GMF as a means of sharing
success stories, challenges, and ideas.

We look forward to hearing about the stories and commitments discussed at
gatherings. We encourage all participants to share insights, photos and
videos on social media throughout the day, using the hashtag #onthetableMKE.

More information on the program, including frequently asked questions and
handy Table Host Tool Kits with a sample email invitation for hosts to send
to their own guests, may be found at the *On The Table* website:
www.onthetablemke.org.

On behalf of the entire OAF Board, we look forward to hearing from you
because your voice matters.

Sincerely,

Maribeth Bush

OAF Coordinator
