Dear Applewood Parents,
Thank you so much for your participation in inviting individuals to the fundraiser dinner on Saturday night. Now it is time to call them and remind them of the dinner at 6 pm, if you have not talked to them recently. Just a reminder, this is an adult event so please make arrangements for child care. We will not have any child care available at the school. We also want to ask you to please bring the following:
8 Dinner plates
8 Dessert plates
8 Glasses & 8 Coffee Cups (mugs)
8 Forks, knives, spoons, & dessert forks
1 Casserole Dish for main course (has gravy on it)
2 Serving Bowls (potatoes & vegetable)
3 Serving spoons for above
Please bring them in a cardboard box marked with your name. The school will be supplying napkins, table cloths, and centerpieces.
Also, please do not forget to bring your dessert, which should be enough to feed eight people, even if you did not obtain eight people to fill your table. Some Applewood families received more than eight reservations (thanks!), and we will be merging some tables together.
Please plan to be at the school no later than 5:15 pm so that you may set up your table and to greet your guests. You will be assigned a student server for your table that can help you get your table ready. Your table will have a large envelope with name tags for your guests to wear, instructions for setting the table, and donation cards & envelopes to set at each place. After the donation portion of the evening, you will collect the donation envelopes and place them in the large table envelope which is turned in at the end of the evening.
When you are finished eating, please scrape food into one plate and pile everything else together. Your waiter will then take the plates away and place them in your box to go home.
At the conclusion of the evening, we ask that you wait until all your guests depart. Then pick up your table. Please help us in returning the tables and chairs to their necessary places for Maplewood to hold church services the following day.
Thank you again so much for your good attitude and cooperation in this endeavor to “get the word out” about Applewood to our community! If you have any questions about the evening and what is expected of you, please do not hesitate to call me at 829-1599. Please pray that the Lord blesses the evening!
God bless you!
Mrs. Young
