If you are interested in joining this group, please contact Valerie or vcollins3@san.rr.com. Sunday Supper Club meets several times a year at members' homes, but the group will not meet in January Each dinner party group is limited to eight, with some flexibility such as having some parties of 6, depending upon the number of people that sign up to come on the designated date (Sunday evening of odd months). The host/hostess sets the theme and time and provides the entrée and accompanying wine. The "guests" provide the appetizer with wine or cocktail, salad or cheese course with a wine pairing, and dessert with wine or after dinner drink--as desired. The supper party groups differ from the wine groups in that they are smaller and include a "sit down" dinner. It is expected that each couple (or two singles) take a turn at hosting the event.
