This is a program of casual social gatherings of up to 8 people, and can include meals besides dinner, such as breakfast, lunch, appetizers, or coffee and dessert. Focused on getting to know each other better, we meet in small groups at one another’s homes, engaging in fascinating conversation while enjoying delicious potluck meals. This is a popular program for those new to BUF or members and friends who have been a part of our community for years.

HOW IT WORKS: October through May the group participants have potluck meals. Each month those people who have volunteered to host are assigned a guest list. If you attend one dinner per month, by the end of May you will have enjoyed up to 8 small group gatherings and met, talked with, and enjoyed the company of dozens of people. If you’ve volunteered to be a host (and we hope you do!) you will contact the people randomly assigned to you to work out dates and details of your menu including dietary restrictions.

If you prefer a paper copy, pick up a registration form at Coffee Hour and return it to Hank Ohana or the BUF office. Please consider being a host. Hosts make this opportunity possible!
