PeaceAble Cities' "Evanston Evenings"
“A Town/Gown Event for Evanston Residents and Northwestern University Students”
Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and PeaceAble Cities: Evanston invite all Evanston households to host 2-3 Northwestern University students for dinner on Thursday evening, October 6.
Wonderful young people come to Evanston every year to learn and grow at Northwestern. Many Evanstonians never know any of them, nor do most students know many of our diverse, thoughtful residents. This year we can begin to change that, becoming for one night, on October 6, a city that opens its arms and dinner tables to new Northwestern students.
You don’t need to be a fabulous cook, a witty raconteur, or even a perfect housekeeper. Just be willing to set a few extra places at dinner the night of October 6 and welcome new students to share their stories and hopes over some food.
Register by Friday, September 30 at www.peaceablecitiesevanston.org to let us know you are willing to extend this hospitality. Several days before the event we’ll send you the name and email address of the students we’ve selected for you. You will contact them directly to see if they need transportation or other help getting to your table. It’s that simple!
We will attempt to match students and host households for particular food needs such as vegetarian practice or keeping Kosher and for pet or serious food allergies. Otherwise, we know you are interesting and hospitable and they are eager to meet local residents so we’ll just step back and let it happen.
Sign up by Friday, September 30! www.peaceablecitiesevanston.org
