🌈 Come sit at our table! 🍽️💜

Chosen Family Supper Club is joining the BV Strong Community Dinner in just ELEVEN DAYS, and we want our community there with us!

This is the BV Pride Coalition’s third year hosting tables at this beautiful community dinner—a night to break bread, meet new people, share stories, and show up for one another.

✨ Want to join us? Reserve your seat here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C054EAAA72FA1FBCF8-65555159-bvstrong

You can also sign up to bring food or drinks to share. Each table needs a main, side, dessert, bread, and drinks—and if you can bring more than one thing, please do! More food = more joy. 💜

We won’t be assigning seats because we’re hoping you’ll sit with someone you don’t know (yet!) and make a new connection.

Come hungry. Come curious. Come as you are.
There’s a seat at our table for you. 🌈🍲🫶
