Q: All that sounds pretty good, so far, but who cooks the meals?
A: Whoever is hosting Dinner for Eight for that month cooks the meals. For instance, the Leader will invite everyone over to his/her house the first month & will provide all the food, from beginning to end. Whoever hosts the dinner the following month prepares & serves that entire meal...and so on. If for any reason you are unable to host a meal, we encourage the groups to be flexible.
Q: I don’t have room to host a dinner or I really can’t cook!
A: No problem! Our desire is for you to spend time eating together, getting to know each other and to include everyone. Ideas might be to repeat a host home, but to potluck together, plan a picnic, or eat out. We want everyone to feel that they can participate.
Q: Will there be separate Dinner for Eight groups for singles & couples?
A: NO!! Our intention is to mix EVERYONE together. That way, it’ll be more fun.
Q: How will that be done?
A: As we start putting the Dinner for Eight groups together, we’ll split singles & couples into two piles, & then randomly put people together in order to make sure each group has eight people. Some groups might be all couples, some might have two couples & four singles, and others might have one couple & six singles. It all depends on who signs up. The mystery is what makes it exciting! If you wish to be in a group with a
particular person(s) just list that on the registration form. We will do our best to
accommodate your choice(s); however it will depend on the signups.
Q: This is sounding better & better, but I have kids. What happens to them?
A: The decision to include children will be determined by your group. Please indicate on the registration form if you are open to including children in you D48 group.
Q: What happens when the four months are over?
A: Hopefully, you will have had such a wonderful experience that you’ll sign-up again for another round! Or perhaps, you have had such a great time together as a group and you are eager to continue on as a D48 group for another session or as a new small group. As the groups end you are encouraged to sign up again for brand new D48 groups. For more info on taking this step, contact Cheryl Jelinek at 353-1159, x246 or cherylj@cccgreeley.org
Q: This sounds like fun! Can I sign up anytime?
A: YES, sign up anytime! Complete and return the sign-up form. Dinner for Eight groups are an ongoing process. Once 8 people have signed up a group will form. However, we will continue to formally assemble groups in January, May, and September for launching in February, June, and October.
