for February.  That’s because no one
volunteered to be the host.  So consider
this a dual purpose e-mail … to announce that there is no February Circle
Supper and to recruit Circle Supper hosts for the coming months.</span></p>

congregation better.  The conversations
are always interesting, the company enjoyable, and the food tasty.  And while they are potlucks, we still need
someone to host them.  Hosts typically
provide the place, tableware and refreshments, and whatever organization is
needed.  I’ll handle the announcements
and reminders.  We work within whatever
limitations you may set (numbers of people, child-friendly or not) for your
home.  </span></p>

have the Circle Suppers at the FUUSM Fellowship Hall and team up with other
people to host.</span></p>

work involved since any prior cleaning is already done.  Also, there are sufficient tables, chairs,
tableware and dishes already available. 
If you do use the Fellowship Hall, just remember to clean up and return
it to the condition you found it or better. 
So, if you think your home can’t accommodate a Circle Supper, just have
it at the FUUSM Fellowship Hall.  For
those who would like to host in their home, there is still that option.</span></p>

others and jointly host.  That way, the
work gets split up and not only is the individual work load reduced greatly,
but there is a lot more flexibility in dealing with specific tasks. </span></p>

September 9, October 14, and November 11. 
If you would like to host during a particular month, but not on that
date, we can re-schedule.  If you are
inclined to host, but not sure about anything else (a specific date, other
people to team up with, etc.), just let me know.  I can do the follow-up to get the rest
