Progressive Dinner

Rotary Club of Santa Rosa Sunrise

Progressive Dinner

                                                                          Saturday, March 25, 2017

Plan is for each member with spouse/guest to have soup/salad at one home and entree at a second home with different members, then dessert/coffee all together at a third location.

Success depends on getting enough members to volunteer their homes to host either the soup/salad or entree course so that no more than 6 people are at any one home.  Members hosting are expected to participate in all three phases of the progressive dinner.  If not enough homes are available, we sometimes have to go to 8 people at a sitting.

Food for both soup/salad and entree courses is catered.  Host/hostess to provide table service, possibly liquid refreshments with meal (wine, coffee, etc.), but no after-meal coffee or drinks or dessert.  Host/hostess is requested to pick up their food between 2:30 and 3:00 on Saturday of the event, or make arrangements for someone to do it. Please no later than 3:00.

Timing is very important and the following times are suggested:

            Home #1:  Soup/salad catered for 6 people, guests to arrive at 5:30 PM.

                                    (Participants announced the day before the event)

            Home #2:  Entree catered for 6 people, guests to arrive at 7:30 PM.

                                    (Participants announced at soup/salad home)

            Location #3:  Dessert/coffee for all members and spouses/guests at a convenient location, everyone to arrive at 9:00 PM.  (Location announced at entree home)

Rules of the game:

            Do not expect to have first and second courses with the same members.  The idea is a mixer, and your other dinner companions to remain unknown until announced by mail before the first course, and at the first course for the second course.

            Single club members welcome to invite one guest, or come as a single.

            Please do not invite guest couples, or a third person, or involve children.   

            Please be prepared to pay $30 per person at the coffee/dessert location.

            The questionnaire is very important in the way the event is organized.

            Please share this page with your spouse/guest and return the questionnaire to

                        Del Raby                                 or bring to Rotary meeting, or Email.
