Every Table gathering I’ve attended has been tons of fun. The events are relaxed, welcoming, and I’ve met so many amazing people. I’m so glad I took the leap to get involved.
One study found the most pronounced difference between happy and unhappy people was their level of social connection.

We’re a community of women who value connection, friendship and opportunities for goodwill.
TheTable is not an app. About half our members utilize the site from a computer, and the other half a mobile device. A new and customized app is not currently warranted.
You’re welcome to join for free! If you’d like to post or message other members, it’s just $3.50 per month (if paid annually). Note: We do not auto-renew memberships, so you never need to worry about surprise charges.
After you create a profile with a headshot you’ll appear in our member directory. As a free member, you can view community engagement and receive messages from others. If you wish to engage/post/message others, you may do so after you pay member dues ($3.50/month if you pay annually, or $7 for 30 days).
Members can communicate through group posts or meet in-person for a meal, activity or act of goodwill. They can also find other women who are going through similar hardships (e.g. divorce, cancer, grief, etc.).
Members can engage the Community Feed, explore events on our community calendar, and send direct messages to one another. Profiles and groups contain zip codes so members can connect with women who specifically live near them.
Ladies join TheTable for new friendships, greater social engagement and/or to advance goodwill. Any woman who seeks social connection, moral support, or opportunities for human kindness has her place at TheTable.
Members must have an active email address to create a profile; this information is never visible to others. Members *may* provide their date of birth. (This populates members’ ages accordingly as some members seek friendship with women of a particular age range, etc.)
Most members of TheTable are 40+ but if midlife has come early for you or you consider yourself an “old soul,” you’re welcome here! And if you’re concerned you’re too old–don’t worry! Our oldest member is 80 and one of the “shining stars” in our community is in her mid-70s.
The community is well over 1k members and growing.
TheTable was conceived in the spring of 2023 and it launched publicly in the beginning of 2024.
Renee Smith is the founder. She was born and raised in the midwest and has lived in the Triangle for over 25 years. She created TheTableRDU in response to women who share a desire for more friendships and a genuine sense of community.
You can always reach out to Renee at: [email protected] or complete the contact form.
Note: If you’re having technical issues with the site, it’s best for us to see what is happening. When contacting us, please send as many screen shots (or videos) of the errors as you can capture. We thank you for your patience as this is usually imperative when trying to fix what you’re experiencing.
Grateful you found theTable? You're not alone.
