Lead with Love
In The Community:
This year, 2024, is likely to be one filled with change. Not only is it an election year when the stakes for our nation and the world could not be higher, we are now moving into the accelerated final stretch of construction work for our project to build The Good Table in El Sobrante. Living through such tumultuous times can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed and depleted.
Fortunately, two of our Good Table mates, Nancy Lemon and Marcie Boyd have some musical inspiration to share with all of you. Recorded during The Good Table UCC's Sunday Gathering on February 18th, this song is a perfect one to hum to yourself when you're feeling stressed and was written by an amazing local musician, Melanie DeMore back in November of 2016. Enjoy and be encouraged!

The Good Table is possible because of the many hands, minds, and hearts that have gone into the project. We want to highlight their contributions through our video series, Meet Your Tablemates. Let’s meet one of them today!
Soheila Bana is a Good Table volunteer and the founder of 94803 Emergency Preparedness Alliance. She's an incredible resource for our project, and we're happy to have her! Watch the video below to learn why she joined the Good table cause.
Special thanks to Kelly Knight for taking the video, Nicole Morin for editing, and Soheila Bana for chatting with us.

Since a lot of construction is taking place at the site, we ask that you wear sturdy shoes, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and a face mask for dust and covid protection. Plus, don’t forget to bring your favorite gardening gloves and tools if you want to get down and dirty with us!

P.S. Hello there, I’m one of your new #goodtablemates! My name is Janine and I’m helping the GTUCC with their blog, newsletter, and other communication needs. I recently graduated from UC Berkeley where I studied climate justice and global development. I joined the Good Table team because I share their passion for food justice, alternative economies, and fostering community spaces. Feel free to send me a message via the Good Table Facebook or Instagram.
