Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

NEW Date: Saturday, September 20th

Time: 6:30 PM onwards

Location: Secret Locations Across Auckland! (Details of your hosts & guests revealed closer to the date)

Get ready for an evening of delicious food, and fantastic company!

Here's how it works:

• Sign Up to Host or Be a Guest: When you register, you can volunteer to be a host, opening your home to a small group of fellow Rotarians, or simply sign up as a guest to be assigned to a host's home. Please include your preference of being host or guest in the comments section of your registration.

• The Big Reveal: A few days before the event, you'll receive an email revealing your assigned host's address (if you're a guest) or the names of the delightful Rotarians joining your table (if you're a host). The exciting part? You won't know exactly who you'll be dining with until the night of!

• Potluck Perfection: As a guest, you'll be allocated to bring a dish to share – appetizer, side dish, or dessert, plus a drink of choice. Our hosts will provide the warm hospitality, the main dish and a wonderful setting for the evening.

This is a fantastic opportunity to mingle with fellow Rotarians you might not know well, strengthen existing friendships, and enjoy a diverse array of home-cooked dishes. It's always a night filled with lively conversation, laughter, and new discoveries.

Don't miss out on this unique and beloved Rotary tradition!

RSVP by Friday 12th September so we can finalise host and guest assignments. Please indicate whether you're willing to host when you RSVP and let us know of any dietary requirements.
