SUMMARY:Benevolent Fund celebrity waiter dinner
DESCRIPTION:Last January's dinner was a great success despite the snow. This year\, it isn't going to snow and we're going to have even more fun.  Twenty-four celebrities (some with assistants) will serve dinner at the Link from 6:30 to about 9:30 p.m.  The celebrities are responsible for selling their tables. There will be eight or nine at a table and tickets are $50 each. In addition to selling tickets for those seated at their tables\, the waiters have complete discretion as to how the “table” will work.  It may have a theme.  Guests may be asked to donate a flat fee in addition to their ticket price.  They may be asked to “pay” for items during the evening -- for example\, their fork\, glass\, plate\, etc.  Waiters may be asked to perform (sing\, dance\, recite poetry) for a fee paid by the guests.  Tables may challenge another table/waiter.  Waiters may prepare appetizers/drinks to sell to their table or another table.  And the list goes on and on.  Any ideas to raise money will be welcome.  There will also be other entertainment.  Tickets are available from the waiters or by calling Beverly Atkins at 540-675-3843 or Delma Bagley at 987-8604\, or email bsmah@stoneledge.net.
