Circle Suppers
Circle Supper Event Looking for a wonderful way to meet and get to know a small group of folks from the church? Circle suppers are the answer. Every other month, the organizers, Joan and Howard Poulter, organize potluck dinners in homes of church members and friends. The host supplies a warm and inviting setting and is responsible for contacting each of the guests assigned to his/her home. Each guest then brings a dish to share. These are casual, pleasant evenings where you'll have an opportunity to meet new people and perhaps enjoy the company of some you've already met.
The first Circle Suppers this Fall will be "Zip Code Dinners." Fourteen hosts will have dinners in their homes (in different zip codes), most on Saturday, Sept. 15 (one on Sept. 16, one on Sept. 22). To sign up, register during coffee hour starting Sunday, August 29 or phone Joan Poulter (510-482-5918) or contact Charla Weiss, church manager, at 510-893-6129, ext. 303, or email charla@uuoakland.org.
Circle suppers are announced in advance (through the order of service and in coffee hour). For about 3 weeks before each scheduled supper, Howard staffs a table where you can sign up to be a guest or a host. Please talk to Joan Poulter (510-482-5918) if you have questions.
