can we try this?

So, I was thinking this morning about trying to find a better way to organize our Bunco group, and thought maybe a blog would be a good idea. I am trying it for now, and we will see how it goes.....I don't mind keeping it up every month, if it works and people like it.

Since I have hosting duties next month, here are my details thus far.....

October 30th, 2009
5:30 p.m.
8 Fern Street
Auburn

things I am not sure about yet.....and would love comments from you all!!
1. Halloween costumes - optional?? No one wants to HAVE to dress up. It should be fun, right!

2. Trying to figure out a way to reduce/reuse/recycle things in our houses that are wonderful, and someone else might love.....you could drop item(s) off at my house in the next 2-3 weeks, and I will put together the prizes!! That way, no one has to pay $10 to play! And we recycle things in our house, reduce the clutter too!!

3. Do we want to play a new game, for a change? A card game, or something else (charades, pictionary, scattegories)? We can always play bunco in November!

4. Lastly, a way to organize what food we are bringing/eating.....my suggestion follows:
I will post a list of the categories of dishes, and people can sign up for what they want to bring, and that way we won't have 8 desserts.....

example:
a. dessert-once people sign up for all of the desserts, other people bring something else....
b. dessert- that way we only have 3-4 desserts, and enough main dishes to go around...
c. dessert
d. hors d'oeuvres
e. hors d'oeuvres
f. main dish
g. main dish
h. soup
etc.....

Please let me know what you think about any and all of this, and we can keep or trash any of it! I just thought that I shake things up a bit since it was my turn to host... : )

Can't wait to hear what you all think!
