GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER is a social program that has been a longstanding tradition of Rotary. It is designed to provide an opportunity for members and a plus one to get to know other club members in a completely informal, small group setting. As we cannot yet hold entire club meetings, this is an amazing way for Rotarians to get re-connected to each other during COVID-19 social restrictions.
All members of our club are encouraged to join in and enjoy this wonderful program of fellowship and information exchange. The program involves getting together with an entirely different group of Rotarians & their guests for 1 weekend a month, until everyone has had a chance to host. Your plus one may be your spouse or significant partner, but you may also choose to partner up with another Rotarian, bring a guest, or attend individually as long as you indicate your preference in the form below so that we can plan the groups. If you're regular plus one can't make it to an evening - no problem! Bring someone else if you like.
Each participant will host one dinner for a group of 8 total, and be a guest for 3 others. The meal choice is entirely up to the host and is by no means meant to be a gourmet meal! Fellowship is the most important part of this evening. Hosts may choose to use a catering or takeout option, host a campfire or picnic, or cook a traditional or ethnic meal - it's entirely up to you! You may also choose to host at your home or at another location like at a park or in a restaurant (at the host's expense). Guests will be scheduled to arrive at your specified location at 6:00 PM, and the evening can be as long or short as you choose.
The identity of your dinner guests or host will be entirely UNKNOWN - the surprise is part of the fun! Hosts will be given their date well in advance so they have time to plan. A day or two prior to each dinner, the host will be given the number of confirmed attendees, and the guests will be given the address they are to go to.
Each guest & their plus one will arrive with 1 bottle of wine, or another beverage of your choice, between the two of you to go with the meal. Please enter any special food requirements that you or your plus one may have in the form below so that we can inform the host for each meal you attend well in advance. Please be specific and thorough in your description so that we can help your hosts accommodate your needs!
