Community table

The community table is the least formal thing Detachment 1255 does. Coffee goes on at midmorning, the members bring a dish, and the door stays open. People who would never attend a business meeting will sit down for this — Kailua Kona, HI.

It is also how the detachment hears what the town needs next. A conversation over a plate becomes next month’s project. The minutes, if anyone writes them, are short.
