Conversation
At Shalon, we dive deep into specific issues that affect our families, our neighbors and our communities. For the past two years we’ve come together to share an amazing meal and to investigate topics including healthcare, homelessness, racial justice, identity and so many more.
This year, we’re kicking off with something new in order to make sure that our community has the power to be heard; to share the issues that YOU want to explore that affect our communities, cities, nation and world.
Our first discussion of 2019 will be around the fundamental challenges we see impacting our lives and the lives of others. We’ll share what keeps us up at night and how we can get involved in a positive way.
