DESCRIPTION:Please respond if you would have any interest in getting involv
 ed with small group fellowship in your home or at a restaurant. (Groups of
  4-8 People) Here is a little more information with regards to “Dinner w
 ith Friends” In Rotary\, Dinner with Friends (sometimes called "Guess 
 Who’s Coming to Dinner" or "Rotary Dinner Groups") is a fellowship activ
 ity designed to strengthen connections among members. The format can vary 
 by club\, but here’s how it typically works — especially if you’re k
 eeping it to no more than five couples:  Basic Structure Group Size: Usua
 lly 3–5 couples (6–10 people total) gather for one dinner. This keeps 
 the gathering intimate and manageable. Hosts & Guests: One couple volunte
 ers to host at their home (or sometimes at a restaurant). The other couple
 s attend as guests. Rotation: Over time\, the hosting responsibility rota
 tes so everyone gets a chance to both host and attend as well as be assign
 ed to different groups   How Pairings Work Random Assignments: Often\, co
 uples are randomly assigned into dinner groups to encourage members to get
  to know people outside their usual circle. Rotation Each Round: Each new
  dinner\, the groups are reshuffled so you dine with different members. Co
 nfidential Until the Night: In some formats\, guests don’t know who the
  other couples will be until they arrive\, which adds a fun surprise eleme
 nt. (We could skip this and be more structured with who is hosting with ti
 me date and location)   Dinner Format Meal Style: The host usually provid
 es the main course. Guests may bring appetizers\, sides\, or dessert to sh
 are. Evening Style: It’s a relaxed social evening — no business agend
 a\, just fellowship and conversation. Entertainment: Hosts make it fun fo
 r everyone. Frequency: Many clubs do this quarterly or every couple of mo
 nths.   Why "No More Than 5 Couples"? Keeps the group small enough for rea
 l conversation. Fits comfortably into most homes. Ensures everyone can mea
 ningfully interact rather than splitting into side groups.
