Hi,
I can do the kids activities. I'm thinking coloring sheets/crayons at the
tables.
- can we use plastic ware? And place them in cups at the table and layout
napkins? That way people can toss them and we don't have to roll them. That
would make it easy to refill at each table.
- to cut cost could we just do is jacks and sausage (not bacon) would that be
easier? It seems like other pancake breakfasts I went to only had that. Also,
we could cut the fruit and do the muffin instead if that is more cost effective
since fruits so expensive.
- is it possible to do online ticket sales? Then we can have a list to check
off. That way we don't have the expense of printing tickets. Or maybe a couple
Sundays before sell them in the lobby and just write down their name?
- it seems like I was thinking of something else but I can't remember ;) I'm
sitting in carline so if I remember I'll write again, ha!

We got a big fat YES from lots of SWC girls so it looks like BWS is a go! I
know of four people who are not definitely not available to help that weekend
(Audrey-dance competition, surprise, surprise; Ashley/Amanda - middle school
retreat and Rachel-beautiful baby!!) However we can do prep stuff up to that
weekend. I reserved Wesley Hall all day on December 3 and 7-1pm December 4. I
also got word to Phil that we will be ordering food for approximately 400
including pancakes, link sausage, bacon, fruit, coffee, OJ , individual
butter and creamers. In the past we had talked about adding a muffin?? I
changed set up to move our bake sale into Wesley Hall and do a satellite
table in the new room lobby. I will talk to Amy McBroom about the publicity
as soon as we settle on tickets and pricing, I'll finalize set up with
Marybeth tomorrow. We need folks to take the lead on the following:
ticketing\prices,Setting up Santa photo op, arranging for Santa to arrive,
entertainment, bake sale ( I recommend keeping it by donation and bring your
items in pretty and ready to sell and since this is just SWC baking, we will
need to amp up the goodies), children's area( we have used the habitat for
humanity frame as a manger scene in the past if it's still available or we
can put kid's stuff in the tables), tables center pieces( we can go simple
with red and green tables cloths and no fancy centerpieces or we can use our
MP white tablecloths and do something fancier), work schedules for Sunday
morning (kitchen prep, serving line duty, floor duty, bake sale duty) and
other stuff I'm probably forgetting! I asked for sound system to be available
to play Christmas CDs( we supply cds) if we do not arrange for entertainment.
In the past we have had musicians, the handbell choir , youth choir and
individual singers entertain us throughout the morning. It's a nice way to
include lots of people in the church. First things first, are we printing
tickets and selling them ahead of time and if so how much? Who remembers what
our old pricing was? I know we used Phils plates, coffee carafes and
silverware and we bought the napkins and wrapped silverware the day before
and during BWS morning. Since we're late getting started on our planning most
of this will be done by email so please respond. We will need lots of husband
help in the kitchen and all Susanna Wesley Circle ladies pitching in to make
this happen. It is lots of fun and so loved by our church.
Ok tickets?
Thanks!

Hi Ladies,
We took a hard left during our MP committee meeting and came up with a crazy
idea! What would you all think about doing Breakfast with Santa again? We
have several members who expressed interest in starting it back up. The only
open date at the church is Dec 4th with set up being Dec 3rd. We would need
to kick it into high gear but we already have offers to head it up and two
volunteer Santas! We were already planning our bake sale that Sunday. We
would simply move it into Wesley Hall and put a satellite table in the NR
lobby. It would involve some or all of the following: setting up
publicity(Audrey), room set/reservation(Audrey), decorating 20 round
tables(All SWC Members), tickets sales?, setting up Santa photo spot?,
purchasing(Audrey) pancakes, bacon, sausage, fruit for 400, creating a kid’s
area?, setting up work schedules for kitchen and bake sale areas?, planning
music/entertainment?, purchase paper products? and so on. I know that
weekend is a Trinity middle school retreat and the SEC championship game but
historically, that particular weekend has always been BWS and it’s worked
fine. What do you think ladies? Check your calendars and tell us what you
think.
Thanks!
Audrey
