DINING WITH FRIENDS
WHAT IS DINING WITH FRIENDS? A casual gathering of up to 8 people who would enjoy coming together over food—dinner, brunch, lunch, appetizers, coffee and dessert, or etc. The focus is on getting to know each other better, and these get-togethers can be in someone’s home, in a reserved space at BUF, or wherever folks want to engage in fascinating conversation while enjoying a delicious potluck meal or snack.
Open to all ages! If you’re open to hosting or attending a gathering with young children, please indicate that below. If you’re a parent of young children and a gathering in a confined space does not appeal to you, how about a “play date” where families can meet for a picnic outside, or at a playground for example, and get to know one another while their children all play together.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO PARTICIPATE? Fill out the electronic form below and it will be automatically forwarded to Heather Higgins and Murray Bennett via email. You may also pick up a paper registration form during our after-service coffee hour and submit it back. These potluck meals are a great opportunity to converse with and enjoy the company of potentially dozens of other folks. But this only works with volunteer hosts, so:
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOST? Every month, those who have volunteered to host will be given a guest list of folks to invite to your potluck. You get to choose your location (inside or outside), the type of food that folks should bring, as well as any necessary dietary restrictions. Again, you can indicate your willingness to host by simply filling out the form below and choosing the months you are open to hosting. Remember, it’s the hosts who make this all possible.
SOUNDS LIKE FUN, BUT HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? No problem: contact a Dining With Friends coordinator: Heather Higgins at
hhiggins31@gmail.com or Murray Bennett at
murbennett52@gmail.com to have all your questions answered. As a Participant or a Host (or maybe both), this is your chance to meet, greet, and eat. Let’s get to know each other!
