Guidelines for 2012 Lunch Bunch and Food &
FriendsThese two
activities are the major venues for members to get
to know each other, so it is important that we
handle them well.
It has been decided to let the
host set the number of participants instead of
setting a limit to a maximum
of twelve people. Members are not
required to have a set number if their home
can only accommodate six, eight, or ten people that
is the number that will be assigned. The chairperson
of these activities will respect the maximum number
the host sets.
All communication between guests
and hosts must be channeled through the
chairpersons. Although hosts will contact guests to
set menu choices, times and dates, no member should
call a host and ask to be included. Members must
contact the chairpersons to sign up via emails,
phone or sign up sheets at functions. hosts should
also contact the chairperson before adding any
guests to the party.
All guests are expected to host
the activities they attend during the calendar year.
If you attend Lunch Bunch and Food & Friends, you
must host each of these activities once a year.
Members who have attended three parties will become
ineligibles until they sign up to host.
Hosts are allowed to schedule
their party on days other than the second Wednesday or
fourth Friday as long as the guests are able to
attend.
