You've joined us during a really exciting time because we are moving from this space to a new community site called The Community Table.

We have launched a new subscription model that's a perfect match with the gifts and interests you describe in your profile response.

The Community Table not only gives tremendous value to the World Cafe community and the wider networks in which we work but it also gives those who can a chance to "give back" in support of our international community, still growing after 25 years.

Here's a link for more details about this new initiative.

We are very pleased to have you with us now and hope you will choose to take your seat at the new Community Table. As you'll see in the page linked above, we've priced the subscription fee to be very accessible for most folks in the international community, but if this is not the case for you we are no less happy to welcome you. Money is not the determining factor -if you want to join us, just send a quick email to [email protected] letting us know what works for you, and we'll make sure you are in right away.

In the meantime, I'm here for any questions you might have.

I hope to see you in the Community Table!

Warmly,

Amy
