Foyer Dinner sign-up ended on Sunday evening and assignments went out Monday evening. One person in your group has been assigned to call you and help come up with a date for your group's first dinner. No doubt you've all been contacted and have begun to zero in on a night in October for your first gathering!

Foyer Dinner groups have been made smaller this year.  No more groups of eleven!  We want everyone to feel that they can host a meal even in the smallest of studios.  Please no restaurants!  Your homes are a window on your lives and a great starting point for conversation.  We have eight dinner groups with an average size of 6 people.
 
As in the past, the series will consist of four meals through early-to mid-January.  About every four weeks.  Every three weeks in a pinch.  Most groups will plan their subsequent dinner during each of these gatherings; so please bring your day planners or Blackberries!  It's easier to zero in on a date in person than by e-mail.  The next Foyer Dinner series will begin in February with sign-up just about when you are having your fourth dinner in January.  All the more reason to sharpen those planning skills and clear those schedules!
 
Foyer Dinners have proven to be a wonderful way to meet fellow parishioners.  Joining the series is a joy and a commitment.  You're part of a parish that's building community.  Please make these a priority and attend each gathering.  Your absence takes away from the group.  And remember, Nancy Lee, John & Kay are looking for some free meals!
