Our last rehearsal on July 31st will be our free Family and Friends Concert followed by a “Snacks to Pass” reception. It will be a chance for you and our guests to eat, mingle, chat. So…it will take a group effort to make this happen.
We will hold the concert in our rehearsal room and not in the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary temperature is in the mid to high 80's and there is little chance that condition will improve.
We will hold the reception in the rear of the dining room and to the right as you enter the room.
Here are the tasks for the party - works best if several people work together:
- Set up for the concert
- Organize food that members bring in on the tables
- Cleanup at the end of the event
Set-Up - we need 6-10 people to come in early (6:00 PM) to set up chairs and tables. Opus will move the pianos for us. Once the concert is over, we will need to pick up all the chairs and tables and return everything to the place we found them.
About the food - think munchies, snacks, finger foods, non-alcoholic drinks, treats and dessert type items. If it is something that needs to be refrigerated during the concert, we do have access to limited space in refrigerator in the church kitchen (not a lot of space). It is best if the food can be picked up with a utensil (provided by you) and not your fingers. We do not have access to any eat or serving utensils in the church pantry, so please provide your own. Please make a label with food ingredients if you are preparing a dish so that anyone with a food allergy does not have a problem.
Cleanup - We wish to keep the waste as close to zero as possible. We ask that you take your leftover food, dishes and utensils home with you. Perhaps, some may wish to bring some take-home containers for the leftovers. Think recycle!
