Before The Event

 

¨      Provide a Dallas/Fort Worth area location, such as a corporate dining area, church hall, community center or other indoor facility to host the dinner.  Churches, non-profit organizations, businesses, and restaurants with quiet banquet space can make great venues. 

¨      For Sponsored Venues - Provide seating for a minimum of 40 assigned guests, at tables that seat 10 persons.

¨      For Individual Host Venues - Provide seating for two tables with a minimum of 20 assigned guests, at tables that seat 10

¨      Please keep in mind that it is helpful for seated guests to be able to see each other since a majority of the evening dialogue occurs during the dinner meal.

 

¨      Provide dinner for guests. 

¨      In past years, hosts have served meals ranging from very simple to elaborate. 

¨      The best menus include those that do not require timed course scheduling, or host monitoring while guests are present. 

¨      Many hosts serve meals “family style” offering a commonly eaten main entrée, such as chicken, along with vegetable side items, a dessert, and beverage. 

¨      Meals that accommodate a variety of diets, including vegetarian and restricted diets, are encouraged. 

¨      The serving of alcoholic beverages is discouraged.

¨      Two “host designated seats per table may be reserved by host. You should invite your guests in a separate communication - HERE'S A SAMPLE E-MAIL YOU MIGHT USE. Feel free to copy and modify it for your own use.

¨      The remaining 8 seats at each table are reserved dinner places for Dallas Dinner Table participants. 

¨      Please make sure that any personal/host guests are registered through the Dallas Dinner Table website prior to the deadline. Please use the host code provided in your host confirmation e-mail.

¨      Contact the Dallas Dinner Table facilitator assigned to your dinner during the week before the event.  Since your facilitator is responsible for managing the evening discussion, sharing your menu and set-up plans helps achieve a smooth-running evening.

Night of The Event

¨      Serving food as one course or family style is encouraged to maximize host participation.

¨      Serving alcoholic beverages is discouraged.

¨      Organize participants to appropriate table

¨      Provide feedback to the Dallas Dinner Table committee by completing a Host Feedback Survey after the event.

Please do not encourage un-registered guests to participate.
