Batik to Set Next Community Table: Kentland's Community Table Program

The next Community Table dinner is set for Wednesday, April 6, 6:30 p.m. at Batik Asian Cuisine and Dumpling Bar, 200 Main Street.

The dinner follows a successful launch of the Community Table program in February  when 35 area residents came together for dinner, conversation and connections at O'Donnell's Seafood Restaurant. Participants pay their own way and order off the menu for the dinners.

Outlining the goals for the Community Table Fehlig said building community is number one . "We want to reach out to residents to let them know they can show up at a specific restaurant and know people are gathering," she said. "The Foundation is facilitating the opportunity to be with friends and meet new ones."

At the same time, the Community Table supports local businesses, which are members of the community as well. "Many of them are asked time and time again to support "The Community," Fehlig explained. "This is an opportunity for the residents to support the local businesses and acknowledge that they are an important member of  "The Community."
