2.       Search the site for what you need for your “Dinner to Make a Difference©”

a.       a 501 (c) 3 tax letter and solicitation letter so you can solicit local merchants for food, wine, paper goods and or gift prizes (request). 

3.       Decide on the type and theme and the type of the event (could be 1 or more of the following):

a.       one-time event that invites people to come with an appetite and a check book

b.       the progressive dinner party concept

c.       once bi-monthly concept or the dinner that is different AND can make a difference! Share dinner and wine with friends every other month at the home of a "party member," where you will enjoy each other’s company and contribute the price of an average dinner out to cause.

h.     host a Wine and Cheese Party. Do not charge admission (try to get your food and drinks donated) and invite as many people as you can. During the party, give a short talk about LemonAid Fund, and ask everyone to consider a gift of $25, $50, or $100 or more. Either pass out envelopes and ask people to give then, or after the party contact everyone individually who came and ask for a major gift. Indicate that you have given, and if appropriate, how much you have given.

i.   start a Chain Dinner. Invite 12 people and charge $20 then get 2 people of the 12 to host dinners for 12 people each and so on.
