making connections around the table

good food, good friends, good talk

Making Connections Around the Table is a bi-monthly dinner program, offering the unique opportunity to enjoy an evening of good conversation, company, and food while getting to know the inner workings of the Greensboro community. Each dinner program features Greensboro-area “guests of interest” who talk about pertinent issues and topics of life in the Greensboro Community and the greater Triad. synerG and Action Greensboro would like to thank our generous Making Connections Around the Table Event Sponsor American Express.

In 2008, our theme is "Regionalism" and we have events scheduled for:
