Save the date and join your neighbors in this wonderful annual Waban tradition! Every adult in Waban is invited to enjoy this joyful evening.
The evening begins with appetizers at a host neighbor’s home at 6 to which you will be assigned. After mingling with new Wabanite neighbors in your appetizer home, you will move on to your assigned dinner host’s home at 7:15. Finally, we come together as a community for dessert at the Waban Library Center at 8:30.
The WIS suggests a $25 donation for this event. You will be sent a link for your donation via email closer to the event date. You are not expected to donate if you are an appetizer or dinner host.
Community is at the core of the Waban Improvement Society. Established in 1889, the Waban Improvement Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving all people who live and/or work in Waban. The WIS is committed to community building, cultural enrichment, and promotes any activity intended to improve Waban and fosters a sense of community. Its activities include running the Waban Library Center, Waban Village Day, landscaping community assets, the Progressive Dinner, Waban Lights and Sing-along, and The Newton Piano Summit.
