Dickens of a Dinner Dec 3, 2011—Looking for Volunteers

by Ann Carson

It is time to prepare for “Dickens of a Dinner December 3, 2011 Our yearly fundraiser “Dickens of a Dinner” is in its 23nd year and now is the time to volunteer.

We need

• GUIDES who dress in Victorian clothing to guide our five groups to the five different locations. Their job is to welcome the guests and provide information on the neighborhood. Couples may work together as guides.
• WORKERS—waiters to serve food, people to prepare food, folks who love to decorate, helpers to shop and deliver food, furniture and dishes.

This is a joyous event where we get acquainted with our neighbors and show off our wonderful houses decked out for Christmas. There will be the usual PRIZES for hanging lights and decorating the exterior of your house by December 3rd. Plan ahead and get involved. We really have fun introducing our guests to a Victorian “Dickens of a Dinner.”

If neighbors wish to attend the event the price is $65.00 per person. Call for reservations right away!!
