Table 8: Community Dinner Kickoff

We’re kicking off Table 8 with a relaxed, come-as-you-are community dinner, a chance for everyone to meet, mingle, and enjoy a low-pressure night together.

This kickoff isn’t a structured Table 8 dinner. It’s a simple, welcoming meetup built around good food, good energy, and good people. Mellow Mushroom offers a chill setting, great food options for a variety of dietary needs, and space for a large group, making it the perfect place for our community’s first gathering.

This is your chance to:
✨ Meet new people
✨ Build community in a relaxed setting
✨ Share stories, laughs, and real connection
✨ Enjoy a space where you can drop in or stay as long as you’d like

What to Expect:

• A laid-back evening of connection
• Holiday vibes — festive sweaters/holiday gear encouraged
• A few photo moments throughout the night
• Optional: stroll to see the holiday lights around Brightleaf afterward
• No pressure, no program — just community
• There will be RAFFLES & GIVEAWAYS!

Though Mellow closes at 11, you DO NOT have to stay the whole time. We want to ensure everyone who attends has time to eat, mingle, and enjoy the event.
