neighborhood news - dinner

Dear neighbors,
I got lots of emails about my attachment not opening today. I'm not quite sure what happened but it looks like one of the emails went out with the wrong document anyway so here is Take #2! This is a Word document. I've attached the full copy of the flyer and also copied the text into the email below...just in case. Seems like it is getting harder and harder to send pictures or attachments in email these days...its a shame. Let me know if this doesn't work either...
Looking forward to hearing from you about the progressive dinner!
Thank you,
Carol Pfister

You are invited to share an evening of good food and company with your neighbors at the Annual Gwynedd Knoll Progressive Dinner. The theme this year is Presidential Elections. Think of favorite campaign slogans, past Presidents and candidates, all American food, and red, white and blue!  Please set aside Saturday, March 1 starting at 6PM.

If you have not had the opportunity to attend in previous years, here is how it works:  We meet at one home for appetizers, we then divide into groups of 8-12 for the dinner entrée in different neighborhood homes, after the entree we all come together again at one home for dessert. It is a tremendous way to chase away the winter doldrums, reconnect with neighbors, and meet those new to the neighborhood.

 
If you volunteer your home to host one of the gatherings, you don't have to supply food. Those not hosting will be asked to provide an appetizer, dessert, entrée, or side dish to be brought to one of the host homes the day of the dinner. Entrée and side dish recipes will be provided for the cooks.  Everyone brings their own choice of drink.

 
Carol Pfister will be coordinating the Progressive Dinner. Please contact Carol at (215)-661-8775 or e-mail her at (gwyneddknoll@gmail.com) to reserve your spot for this wonderful evening no later than February 21.  We especially need people to host the entrée part of the evening. You would be seating 8 to 10 people. We will also need an appetizer and dessert host –usually that is 40 to 50 people.

Dear neighbors,
Attached is a flyer with the first plans for this year's Progressive dinner. Please read it over and let me know that you can come and what you like to bring or do. Since this is a presidential election year, we thought it would be fun to make that our theme. So be thinking red, white and blue. Maybe we can even dress up as our favorite candidate or past president!

I need a few helpers....first someone to make copies of the flyer, then walkers to distribute the paper flyers this week. I also need a few people to work on the food recipes. Looking forward to seeing you on March 1!

Thanks,
Carol Pfister

Hi Neighbors,

 

    I have a 30+ year old spinnet piano which I wish to find a good home for-- it is in good condition and would be excellent for anyone with children taking lessons. If you wish to take a look at it please call judy masiak at 215-699-8843. Thanks.

Hi, neighbors,
I made a mistake in the dates when I last wrote about options for a meeting about the progressive dinner. I meant to say Tuesday, Jan 15 as an option. But it turns out that Wednesday, Jan 16th is the best date so that's when the meeting will be. It will start at 7:30 p.m. Kathy Bastian has graciously offered to host so we will be at her house at 1264 Turnbury. Her phone is 215-699-5777 if you need to call. Email me with any questions.
We will discuss dates, themes, food, etc and any other neighborhood issues that are on your mind. Please come and join us...all are welcome!

Happy new year, neighbors!
It's January (although it doesn't feel like it today!) so it's time to plan our annual progressive dinner! I'd like to hold a meeting to choose the date, theme, and food for the dinner. Please let me know if you can come to a meeting at 7:30 pm on either Tuesday, Jan 17, or Wednesday, Jan 16.

If you are not able to come to the meeting, please feel free to write to me with your ideas as to theme or other suggestions. I am going to propose March 1st as our date, with a second option of February 23. I have a busy February this year due to my son's auditions for music conservatories admissions. Let me know if that date works for you. We will take a consensus at the meeting.

Let me know if you would like to host this meeting - it doesn't have to be at my house. (:

Thanks,
Carol Pfister
