HOSTING TIPS AND GUEST POLICY

Hostess Committee Helpful Hints

Serving on the Hostess Committee should be a fun and pleasant social time for our members.   

If you are the chairperson for the month’s garden club meeting, here are few reminders.  You may want to have a meeting with your committee and share ideas.  

1.  When you are chairman; plan your table theme, what refreshments (food and drinks) you will serve and how you will divide the committee’s involvement.  

2.  Notify all your committee members on what to bring to the meeting such as table decorations and refreshments and the time to be there. 

3.  Check with program chairman to see who will pick up the key to the location (church, library, etc.).  Also, confirm who will close things up and return the key. 

4.  Check with program chairman about how chairs, tables, etc. will be set up. 

If you are assigned to the Hostess Committee, remember all Hostess Committee members are to be there to help with set up of chairs, tables, etc.; serving; replacing chairs and clean up.  If a member is not able to do all the activities, the member should change dates with another member.  

Please call Ann Bloom at 534-7005 if there are any problems.  

Guest Policy

The Executive Board has approved a policy regarding guests at Cornwall Garden Club activities.  Each member is entitled to one guest at our special events such as the holiday get-together and the spring luncheon.  Additional guests will be charged $5 more for the luncheon and $10 more for the holiday event.

 

So, for example, a member and a plus one can attend the holiday gathering at the listed cost.  But if that member wishes to bring another couple, they would be charged $10 each in addition to the listed cost of the event.  Since some of the expenses for these events are paid for by the club using funds raised through the efforts of club members, the board thought it was appropriate for all attending to contribute to the costs of sponsoring such activities.
