26 Sep 2025 Small Group Fellowship Sep 26, 2025 - Apr 30, 2026 Please respond if you would have any interest in getting involved with small group fellowship in your home or at a restaurant. (Groups of 4-8 People) Here is a little more information with regards to “Dinner with Friends” In Rotary, Dinner with Friends (sometimes called "Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner" or "Rotary Dinner Groups") is a fellowship activity designed to strengthen connections among members. The format can vary by club, but here’s how it typically works — especially if you’re keeping it to no more than five couples: Basic Structure Group Size: Usually 3–5 couples (6–10 people total) gather for one dinner. This keeps the gathering intimate and manageable. Hosts & Guests: One couple volunteers to host at their home (or sometimes at a restaurant). The other couples attend as guests. Rotation: Over time, the hosting responsibility rotates so everyone gets a chance to both host and attend as well as be assigned to different groups How Pairings Work Random Assignments: Often, couples are randomly assigned into dinner groups to encourage members to get to know people outside their usual circle. Rotation Each Round: Each new dinner, the groups are reshuffled so you dine with different members. Confidential Until the Night: In some formats, guests don’t know who the other couples will be until they arrive, which adds a fun surprise element. (We could skip this and be more structured with who is hosting with time date and location) Dinner Format Meal Style: The host usually provides the main course. Guests may bring appetizers, sides, or dessert to share. Evening Style: It’s a relaxed social evening — no business agenda, just fellowship and conversation. Entertainment: Hosts make it fun for everyone. Frequency: Many clubs do this quarterly or every couple of months. Why "No More Than 5 Couples"? Keeps the group small enough for real conversation. Fits comfortably into most homes. Ensures everyone can meaningfully interact rather than splitting into side groups.
