- **Event Name**: Join or Die: A Community screening encouraging community connections
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: What if simply showing up could make us healthier, happier, and more connected?

Join us for a community screening of the documentary Join or Die, followed by a welcoming conversation about civic life, social connection, and practical ways we can strengthen our community together.

The film follows renowned social scientist Robert Putnam and the research behind Bowling Alone, which shows a clear link between strong community ties and healthier people—and a healthier democracy. The message is simple but powerful: participating in real-life groups matters.

Putnam puts it plainly:

“Social networks have value.”

And even more personally:

“Your chances of dying over the next year are cut in half by joining one group.”

Why attend?

This screening is an invitation to local organizations (formal or informal) and their members—fraternal lodges, civic and service clubs, faith communities, neighborhood associations, professional groups, youth organizations, advocacy groups, book clubs and anyone who cares about community life.

It’s a chance to:

Spark conversation across different backgrounds and viewpoints.

Connect members to new opportunities for service and leadership.

Strengthen the relationships that make problem-solving possible.
