What is Manna?

We're glad you asked. Manna is an ongoing dinner and discussion experiment put together by College of Charleston students to bring together students of different beliefs and backgrounds for meaningful conversation and relationships.

Whether you're over the bar scene, hung over from Friday night, or just seeking some thoughtful people to chat up, Manna seeks to be the alternative night out with just a touch of class.

Manna Round 2

Our first Manna of the year last month was a huge success!

It involved breaking and entering into our location (the host wasn't home yet), lavender chocolate pie, and a cat - aka edgy, delicious, and heartwarming :)

Our host was so incredibly inviting that she let us come over even though SHE wasn't there!?! Thank you Rachael Cecheak! We missed her.

And we missed you. BUT y'all are in luck... our next Manna is coming up: Saturday, October 22nd at 7.

Though our last host was so gracious, this month Kelsey Kilgore is gonna try to top her by hosting us at 85 Spring Street.

Get excited!

And since, like last month, the house is a bit farther away we can arrange rides. Contact Sarah Andrews or Colin Kerr on facebook and we'll hook you up...

As always, feel free to bring friends, delicious food and, of course, an awesome question!!!


PS - I'm adding a pumpkin picture... just because that seems appropriate given fall weather and Halloween approaching ;)


Maybe it will inspire you to make some sort of tasty pumpkin creation... or maybe that is just my wishful thinking??? :)

First. Manna. Of. The. Year.



Get excited!!!!

It is our first Manna of the year.

Whether you're a new student looking to bond with other super cool people OR you're already bored with classes and want some stimulating discussion OR you're a Manna regular and just can't wait to get back into our monthly meetings, we hope you'll make it to our launch for this school-year: Saturday, September 10th.

Head over to 117 Line Street, Apartment C for some fancy food and conversation. And be sure to thank Rachael Cechak, our lovely hostess!



Since it is a little farther away, we'll organize rides to get you there if you'd like one. Email cofcmanna@gmail.com to request a ride or find Colin Kerr and/or Sarah Andrews on facebook.

Feel free to bring friends and food :)

See ya Saturday, September 10th at 7 pm...

The Last Supper (of the academic year)



It's the last Manna of the year on the 23rd, ever delicately placed on the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter. So if you're not heading home for Easter to hang out with mom and pops, consider joining us for evening of unique food and good discussion. Sorry, the Easter Bunny will not be participating.

Elise Lasko, who two months ago got totally scammed by drawing the last question only to find that all the questions had been taken already, is hosting us. This means she'll get to draw the first question. Very tactical, I mean, gracious of her.

She lives at 17 Gadsden Street Apt A. It's the downstairs apt located on the corner of Gadsden and Wentworth. However, it might be missing a number, so for better reference its the brown/gray house on the corner. Her cell is 330-509-1706 if anyone gets lost.

See you Saturday, the 23rd at 7 pm.

Old House, New Host



So we're back to 473 Race Street, except we have a new host (hostess? Errr, what's the pc title these days?) Sanaz Arjomand is responsible for this one, which means if you want good food, you better bring it yourself (just kidding!)

But seriously, last month was a new milestone in glorious (and mostly vegan) food-making by our wonderful participants. Even this non-vegan enjoyed it. Keep up the goodness and good questions.

See you this Saturday the 19th at 7 pm. Note: 473 Race Street is above the Crosstown, so if you need ride, email me at citizen.kerr@gmail.com and we'll get you set up. Friends welcome as usual.

love feast (or something)



Hey Folks,

Need an alternative Valentines date? How about you bring your significant other to our little gathering this Saturday, the 12th, at 7 pm? At first I wasn't serious when I wrote that, but now that I think about it, why not?? If you don't have a date, well, you can enjoy your singleness with us too.

This month, Lauren Glaser is so graciously inviting us into her home for our February love feast. It's going to be at 62B Cannon Street (closest intersection is at Felix), which is a white house directly across from Sugar. We'll be in the top floor, and you can enter from the back--just go up the stairs, and you'll be able to see right in.

Just don't do it in the creepy way.

Have an Ice Cold January Manna


Welcome back. Hope your holidays were swell.

Hannah wants us back again, presumably because she enjoyed the prosciutto. She wants it. She loves it. She wants s'more of it. And we want more worthwhile discussion, so it all works out.

So this Saturday we're headed back to 49B Chapel Street (right behind Second Presbyterian Church and the fountain park). Note the tiny map below. See you Saturday the 15th at 7 pm!

A White Elephant Manna


The holidays, crazy finals schedules, and cold weather are already here--so that means it's time for the first ever "White Elephant Manna" evening this Saturday.

In additional to bringing your usual yummies, please find a gift to give from the depths of your dorm room or house. It CANNOT be bought or made...unless its made from stuff already in your house.

The very lovely and wonderful Hannah Strickland will be hosting this one a 49B Chapel Street (right behind Second Presbyterian Church and the fountain park). Note the tiny map below. See you Saturday the 11th at 7 pm!
