Ethical Culture Society of Silicon Valley

Our Coffee & Conversation sessions are informal, inclusive, supportive gatherings. We just talk about things that are on our minds and in our hearts, things that make for, or detract from, a fulfilling human life in the real world for ourselves and for other people. We listen to each other, share our thoughts, and enjoy the time together. Coffee, tea and goodies provided.

Join the conversation!

To promote a respectful space where everyone's voice can be heard, we encourage participants to:
-Wait to speak until others are finished rather than interrupting
-Avoid giving advice unless requested
-Be mindful of how long you talk and try to keep it to 1-2 minutes at a time so everyone has a chance to talk

NOTICE this is in person!

We are providing 48 sack lunches every month, which we bag on the first Sunday. Please join us.

We will again make PB&J sandwiches and assemble sack lunches, including snack foods (individually wrapped), drinks, and fruit that the staff can hand out through the rest of the month.

We've been at this since June 2022, and it has been a lot of fun! We write personal notes to include with the lunches. We make 48 PB&J sandwiches. We fill lunch sacks with chips, snack mixes, food bars, apple sauce, raisins, bananas and oranges. When we are done, we gather with our own PB&J sandwiches and enjoy each other's company as we eat the same meal we just packed in lunches for Grace, an act of solidarity.

Phil reported that our lunches were a big hit with Grace clients.

The plan: Gather at 12:00 noon PST Sunday to make PB&J sandwiches and pack sack lunches with everything but the sandwiches and fresh fruit, which will be refrigerated overnight. Monday, the lunches will be delivered to Phil at the Grace parking lot.

Who can help, one way or another? If you can join the sandwich making at 12:00, RSVP and you will get the address through a meetup message. Want to contribute something to the lunches? RSVP and you will get details.

Please join us.

I look forward to seeing you Sunday as we continue to support Grace this way.

RSVP to get details for participating as well as the address.

Join us on the patio at Jack's Restaurant a bit before 10:30 to be settled when the meeting starts. Look for the Ethical Culture sign at the table. We set out chairs for everyone so RSVP. Dress according to the weather! They have heaters and some shade, but we will be outside! Please arrive on time.
If you have symptoms of illness, please come to a meeting when you are well.

We are meeting at a restaurant and using their facilities. Please be prepared to order food. We are not meeting in a coffee shop.

Join us! Invite others! Bring your unique point of view and add to the
discussion.
See you there!
