“Dinners for Eight” is one of UUCT’s traditions that have taken a break for about a year (maybe longer…). The dinners are a great way for new and seasoned members to share fellowship with each other.

Traditionally, hosts sign up to provide a location and the main dish (vegan, meat, or both) and beverages, and coordinate with guests who bring the rest of the meal items (salad, bread, side dish, dessert, etc.).

Other options for hosts (that don’t require cleaning your house), are to suggest attending a community event together, host a picnic in a park, or plan to meet at a restaurant or other space. Fellowship can happen in many locations. Each participant would contribute toward the scheduled activity.

Dinners are specified as either Adults-only or Intergenerational. Intergenerational dinners are for families and adults who enjoy socializing with children. Parents are also welcome to attend adults-only dinners.

Impromptu dinners could happen NOW after church. Ask those around you to lunch! Gather eight people and go fellowship!

For those interested in the traditional Dinners for Eight please email Bonnie Abellera at leonpta1@yahoo.com to sign up as a host. Hosts can pick a date from September to November and I will create sign-up lists. Let’s celebrate our community!
