who signed up for the LCUUC Circle Dinners!

we are good to go. I’m attaching the table rotations for all

four

rotations, the hosts of

yellow in the first column, and the

across the rows. For those who signed up as

will see that you are paired with the same individual for

four dinners. This year an exact number signed up, so there are no

current

> 
> 
> *Everyone:* You will want, first thing, to
note where your name appears in
> each of the four table rotations
so you know when you host and when you
> participate as a guest
… and then get the dates on your calendar.
> 
> 
> *Hosts:* At least a month before the date of the dinner that you'll
be
> hosting (and right now for hosts for the November 15
dinner!), check
> whether the original date works for you. If it
does, great – notify your
> guests to see if they can all make
it. If you’re lucky, everyone can
> make
> it, but if
not, you may want to try to find an alternate date when most
>
but
> preferably all can attend (using a Doodle calendar at
doodle.com is a good
> way to find an alternate date). If, on the
other hand, the original date
> does not work for you as host, you
will want to propose alternative dates
> to your attendees (again,
consider using doodle.com). Once you’ve chosen
> an
>
alternate date for the dinner, notify your attendees and ask them to
> confirm their attendance. Whether it is the original or a
rescheduled
> date,
> when you contact your guests to
confirm their attendance, let them know

to host** and request any info on dietary or other restrictions.

I

> *About substitutes:* Regardless of whether you host on the
original or a

participate in the dinner,
> please reach out to find substitutes
to fill in empty spots at your
> dinner.
> This year only
one couple signed up as substitutes (Lynne and Phil Smith),
> so
seeking substitutes may be more involved than in the past. Keep in mind
> that Circle Dinners are a great way for new members and
prospective
> members
> to get to know us, so asking those
folks to attend as substitutes is
> strongly encouraged.

> *Attendees:* Once the hosts contact you and the date
of the dinner is
> set, *please,
> please, please* get
back to them right away to confirm your attendance. If
> you are
*not able* to attend, it is still very important to let the hosts
> know so they have time to find substitutes. The only negative
feedback I
> have received about our Circle Dinners is from hosts
who did not hear back
> from folks who were not able to attend,
which led to time-consuming
> follow-up with those non-respondents
or empty seats at the table, and also
> meant that substitutes did
not have a chance to join in.

> Feel free to
contact me with any questions, and I will do my best to help.

Enjoy your dinners!

Often the hosts indicate an entrée they plan to make and ask attendees

etc.):

etc., but you can
