Subject: Re: crazy question/THE RESULTS!!
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
