Good Neighbor Day Dinner

Pull up a chair, neighbor!

We’re setting the table, and there’s always room for one more! On Thursday, September 24, from 6–8 p.m., White Lake Community Library and Harbor Light Credit Union will host the 4th Annual Good Neighbor Day One-Long-Table Dinner on W. Slocum Street, next to The Playhouse at White Lake.

With help from the City of Whitehall, The Playhouse at White Lake, Plum & Proper Dishes, Lebanon Lutheran Church, and the Friends of the White Lake Community Library, we’re bringing neighbors together for a free, family-style feast catered by Hanson Hill Waterfront Grill. It’s a chance to share a meal, catch up with familiar faces, and meet someone new—all around one long table under the evening sky.

Several vegetarian-friendly dishes will be available, but a fully vegetarian meal option will not be offered.
In the event of rain, dinner will move inside the Playhouse lobby.

Seats are limited! Registration opens Thursday, September 10, online at wlclib.org/calendar or by phone at 231-894-9531.

The dinner is free for participants, though free-will donations are welcome at the event to help support future Good Neighbor Day dinners.
