Take Time to Talk Series- Spring 2026
Join us Thursday evening at the Callicoon Depot from 5:30–7:00 PM for simple community connection—time and space to gather, meet new people, share stories, listen, and just enjoy each other’s company.
There’s no agenda and no program, just neighbors coming together.
Bring whatever helps you feel at home: a snack or meal to share, something to drink, a cozy jacket if it’s chilly, or a few games for the kids.
This will be the last get-together of the Spring season. Fall season coming in September!
