This event will be held on Sunday, Feb 23/25, from approximately 5:00 to 8:00 pm (realizing some people may need to leave earlier)
This is how it works:
As an Example:
Those who are interested in joining will fill out a form –- and return it to the office by Fri, Feb 14 so you can be matched, and to find out if there are any allergies or dietary restrictions.
HOSTS: Betty and Bill decide they would like to host… up to 4 people. So they will fill out the form –and will be told (closer to the event) if there are allergies or dislikes by their guests and how many guests they have coming.
GUESTS: Mike & Susie and Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Stepford signed up to be guests and to provide dessert. So they individually (one form per individual/family) filled out the form by Friday, Feb 14.
HOSTS: will be notified on Wed, Feb 19th of how many guests they will be having. Betty and Bill do not know who is coming for dinner (just the number of people ~ and that one gets a headache from eating onions)!
GUESTS: On the 19 of February the guests are given the address they are to go to on Sunday night – but not the name of their host(ess).
THE MEAL: On the event day – February 23 – HOSTS cook the meal for their guests – to eat at around 5:30 pm. GUESTS will be bringing the dessert when they come for dinner.
When the doorbell rings at 5:00 pm, hosts discover that Mike & Susie, Mrs. Walker, and Mrs. Stepford are their guests for dinner. Betty and Bill and their 4 guests have dinner together, enjoying the meal as well as the dessert that the guests brought.
