Small Group Fellowship

Please respond if you would have any interest in getting involved 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 with Friends”

In Rotary, Dinner with Friends (sometimes called "Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner" or "Rotary Dinner Groups") is a fellowship activity designed to strengthen connections among members. The format can vary by club, but here’s how it typically works — especially if you’re keeping it to no more than five couples:

Basic Structure

• Group Size: Usually 3–5 couples (6–10 people total) gather for one dinner. This keeps the gathering intimate and manageable.
• Hosts & Guests: One couple volunteers to host at their home (or sometimes at a restaurant). The other couples attend as guests.
• Rotation: Over time, the hosting responsibility rotates so everyone gets a chance to both host and attend as well as be assigned to different groups

How Pairings Work

• Random Assignments: Often, couples 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.
• Confidential Until the Night: In some formats, guests don’t know who the other couples will be until they arrive, which adds a fun surprise element. (We could skip this and be more structured with who is hosting with time date and location)

Dinner Format

• Meal Style: The host usually provides the main course. Guests may bring appetizers, sides, or dessert to share.
• Evening Style: It’s a relaxed social evening — no business agenda, just fellowship and conversation.
• Entertainment: Hosts make it fun for everyone.
• Frequency: Many clubs do this quarterly or every couple of months.

Why "No More Than 5 Couples"?

• Keeps the group small enough for real conversation.
• Fits comfortably into most homes.
• Ensures everyone can meaningfully interact rather than splitting into side groups.
