Gale's Day -- Almost Here!
Things are beginning to fall into place--with one exception....
WHO'S COMING? Invitations went out on September 7th, Notices are posted on the Bulletin Boards, the BLOG site address is posted...is there anyone out there?
With only 2 days to go, the FOG committee had to make some decisions so,
1. A notice rescinding the $10 charge for non-resident guests will be distributed throughout the building today, September 22nd.
2. Refreshments will be based on approximately 100-125 guests. After all, as Carole said, this is a cocktail hour, not Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner! June will order 4 platters of sandwiches & cookies, Ralph will make his delicious dip, Kevin is providing the wine, Irene will make a fruit juice punch, June bringing grapes and nuts. This is not a complete list. Sally is handling the refreshments and if 200 people show up, we'll just share. June will pick up an additional 5 packages of the cocktail napkins in the Fall colors. She will also get 600 plastic cups, small plates, and forks in case non-finger food is donated. Carole has a Tablecloth in Fall colors that will be used.
3. A schedule for covering the receipt of Silent Auction items in the Board Room was done. Copies of the forms to go with each item were run off. Table cloths & other items to decorate the Auction Room as suggested by Yvonne will be looked into, once we know how many items are being contributed.
4. Location -- Refreshment tables - Front Lobby
Silent Auction - Board Room
Food Drop-off, etc. - Community Room
5. Seating - All the Commuity Room chairs will be put in the Lobby. Together with the sofas, chairs, terrace chairs, etc., there should be sufficient seating for those who require it.
6. Program - Gerry made all the arrangements for the musicians and prepared the draft program. It was approved as read. Irene will prepare the Program that will be handed out on Saturday. Fran will present a short history of the Garden, written by Irene. Due to lack of time, no "story board" will be created. We will ask Becky if she will put out the book of Garden photos that Gale collected. Irene will photograph the Bench & surrounding flowers, and print an 8x10 photo for display.
Have I left anything important out? Let me know...I can always add another BLOG!
LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE COMING!!
