Vday Dinner Meeting Minutes

Overview:

• up to 80ish people (reservations required)
• Catered meal from Colosseum, which the older kids will serve
• Adult helpers to arrive at 5 to do the big setups. Kids to arrive at 5:30. Younger kids (preschool-K) will put out decorations and then will go eat (probably pizza) and watch a movie. Older kids will eat at 5:30 and then be ready to help serve/bus tables at 6. We will also need a child or 2 to serve as host/hostess, checking reservations (to give it a more formal feel).
• Kids will play piano and other instruments to serve as background music

Help needed (unfilled spots highlighted in color):

• Food--Holly will call Colosseum to determine prices and details and to find out what date they need an official count by; Shirley will check into Sam's for dessert (we will have dessert on the side with coffee)
• Decorations--Nancy and Bennie are working on decorations, which the KidsInC kids will make. Sandy has also said that she wants to help with decorations. The ideas are placemats and "stained glass" bowls with candles in them; Nancy has already bought the materials for the placemats, and Bennie is working on the bowl materials
• Tableware--Shirley will go get clear plastic tableware and napkins from Sam's.
• Adult Helpers: Holly and Shirley will serve as dining room managers; We also need 2 helpers in the serving area; Leah and another helper will work in the movie area with the kids (C112-113).
• Someone to check on prices for carnations for the ladies
• Childcare will be available for under 3.

We have 21 kids signed up so far. Kid helper roles are as follows:

• set up/deco crew (younger kids)
• host/hostesses (older child)
• flower children (Faith and Grace)
• servers (older children)
• bussers (older children)
• instrumentalists (any kids)
• coffee/dessert monitors (older children)
• clean up crew (any kids)

We can also add positions like greeters at the door and dining room floaters to walk around and ask how everyone's meal is going.
