I have been frustrated with the lack of singles activites in my area & would like to meet & make new friends. I came up with the idea of a pot luck dinner once a month sponsored by a different area church to use thier fellowship halls as meeting places & see if I can get friends to donate paper goods (plates, cups, etc.). Do you think this is a good idea? Any suggestions? I'm concerned that not many men will show up? Just looking for some input. Thanks ya'll, Ms.V! I think it is an excellent idea. I compliment you for having the courage to be willing to try something to get singles together. Something similar to that goes on here, with anywhere from 20 - 50 ppl showing up. We do a potluck and bring your own dishes thing, most of us take an extra plate just in case we break our own . It is a rather enjoyable social thing once a month or so.

I've already got 2 of my friends from work pledging the plates & cups, etc for the first meeting.

I might go to one, but I'd buy something. I can't cook worth a damn

I think we would end up with alot of Kentucky fried chicken but that would be ok too.

good idea if you can get the word out. any ideas on advertising?

I think you would be surprised on the KFC thing, Nurse. Most of the ladies fix something, and they can cook a heck of a lot better then me. It gives them a chance to showcase their talents. It is a whole lot of fun, and a place to meet each other and get acquainted.

Thanks for the input & ideas, ya'll! They say the fastest way to a man's heart is thru his stomach!! Great way for the ladies to hit on a good guy. We have a pretty good Charlotte area paper/magazine where I can post in the activities section for singles. Wish me good luck?!!! Sincerely, Ms. V!
