TABLE of KNOWLEDGE

TABLE of KNOWLEDGE Coffee Club Group The Table of Knowledge is a loosely knit group of persons who gather together for coffee, breakfast and fellowship.

The origin of the group can be traced back around fifteen years, to the improvements that were made at Tom Bruner Field. Many of the individuals, who are still coming to breakfast, saw a need at the facility and an opportunity to volunteer their time and skill to spruce up the old ball park. Everyone seemed to enjoy one another’s company so it was decided to continue meeting on an informal basis.

Over the years some of the original people are no longer able to join in. They have been replaced by other people who enjoy good conversation and occasional opportunities to serve the community in various capacities. While gathered together and discussing Muskie athletics, school issues, city problems, or national events the group would regularly hear people say things such as: “There is a group that sure knows everything that is going on.”, or “Is this table getting all the world’s problems settled?” In a self depravation sort of way the group began to call themselves the Table of Knowledge. Beyond their normal 8:00 to 5:00 jobs, most persons around the table serve the community in some fashion by serving on boards, organizing charitable events, or just plain volunteering their services where needed. Table of Knowledge has no officers, no regular meeting place, no meeting agenda, no dress code, no annual dues, no behavior rules, no initiation fees, it doesn’t even have secret handshake. What it does have is a group of persons who understand the need to make our city and our schools the best they can be. If that means stepping to the plate and seeking public office, they will do it. If it means volunteering for a community event, they will do it. If it means serving on the board of directors for a community organization, they will do it. If it means supporting the Muskies, they will do it. If it means helping others around the breakfast table, they will do it. They all know they can depend on each other for support. The use of building blocks is symbolic to show that a small group of people banned together by something as simple as having a meal together can make a difference in our community.
