Dear Kelle, we are using light wooden boards in this cases - with flipchart paper on it and the legs of the four participants at the table are becoming table-legs... an other way to connect and get together :-)
Warm wishes from Dresden, Sabine

Sabine, you inspire me to talk to our construction supply store whose members do a lot of business with. Perhaps they will sponsor some boards we can use. Thanks so much for the idea.
Greetings from the Carolina mountains (all oranges, reds, yellows and golds right now!).

Hi Kellie, your hardware store is a good place to ask, as they often have odd pieces from cutting to size for contractors. Old doors also make great tabletops. You can use milk crates or sturdy boxes for the legs. If you use social media, you might also put out a call on Twitter or Facebook, surprising how people will spread the need for help.

Karen, thank you for your good ideas. I will get on it in the morning. I'll take your hint about facebook, too, as I'm connected to lots of local people. It's such a blessing to have this cafe website. Some wonderful folks are on it!
