This free event will feature the documentary “Join or Die”, based on the research of Ohioan Robert Putnam, author of “Bowling Alone”. The film underscores the crucial role of clubs and civic organizations in fostering community and strengthening democracy. Attendees will participate in an exclusive screening, hear from guest speakers, discuss the film’s themes, and learn about joining local clubs. Join In: Uniting Communities in Ohio is funded in part by the America 250-Ohio Commission.
