The Village Square - Broward The Season

Our 2020-21 Dinner at the Square Series

Big issues, Real conversation. Good food, good company.

While the din of the national conversation dives to a historical new low (each year we wonder, did you ever think it could go any lower?), we thought it was past time for neighbors to have a neighborly conversation on these heated topics. So we’re starting this year’s Dinner at the Square series taking dead-aim at topics facing our city, county, and state. Kicking off the series on October 14th, we will be tackling the 2020 Election and how mail-in voting will play a part- a topic that many believe is one of our more pressing issues. From there, save the date for February 24th, when we will be addressing the issue of systematic racism. Lastly, on April 14th, we will complete our year of programming with a deep dive into the balance of public health and economic health in the wake of COVID-19. It won’t be the same without you as a part of the conversation.
