Dinners For Nine
Dinners Form Nine Registration Form 2009-2010
Welcome to Dinners for 9 online registration! Dinners for 9 is the perfect way to socialize with other UU friends and members. Sign up here and you are on your way to making connections with old friends and new members! This year, Dinners for 9 will allow you to register at any time during the regular church calendar year (September - May). This is to allow new members and/or friends to hook-up with people and become a part of church life vs. waiting for another year to roll around!
Please read the information below on Dinners for 9 and help you enroll:
- Most groups will begin meeting for dinner in September, please register by the end of August to be placed in a year long group. Most groups meet monthly during the church year. During the first dinner, we suggest that the group decide what meeting schedule will work best for them.
- Because we now have rolling admissions, newer members or latecomers may have to wait for enough enrollees in order to form a new group.
- There will not be official alternates this year, instead groups will be advised of new members/friends who would like to try out Dinners for 9 when there is an empty seat at the table.
- GROUPS WHO WANT TO STAY TOGETHER PLEASE CONTINUE TO REGISTER THROUGH THIS SITE. WE JUST WANT TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PARTICIPATING IN DINNERS FOR 9. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOUR EXISTING GROUP NEEDS ANY NEW MEMBERS.
- Participants should all plan to host at least once. PLEASE let us know if you cannot host a dinner in your home, due to size or whatever, and we'll try and help you figure out another arrangement, like for example, using church space as your dining room.
- Typically, the host makes the main meal, and other members are assigned to bring side dishes, appetizer, salad, wine and bread, and dessert.
- If a couple is registering, please list both names on the same form in the name space provided, example: Margy and Tom Hagood.
- Most dinner groups are for adults only, since creating family dinner groups with particularly smaller children have had some difficulty in the past. However, please request a dinner group with children if that is important to you and we will try and make that happen. We will let you know if we aren't able to arrange it. We want to try and give it our best shot, as our church family with smaller children has grown and they are our future!
- Vegetarian groups are gaining in popularity, so we will try and make this happen as well; however, all groups should work toward accommodating members.
Once again, thank you so much for participating in this important community experience, our connections with each other is what will make us a welcoming church to others!
