There’s room for everyone at A Place At The Table! Friends For Life’s oldest fundraising event, A Place At The Table, is undergoing a change this year. Traditionally held in the fall, the event’s steering committee is asking and encouraging hosts to move their parties up to the spring and summer months, beginning in May if possible. However, it is important to note that if hosts still prefer to have their parties in the fall, this is completely acceptable and Friends For Life is very grateful for parties held at any time.

The concept for A Place At The Table is simple. People throughout the community host parties to raise money and awareness for Friends For Life. The parties are unique but have one thing in common: guests are asked to make a donation and to be as generous as possible. Parties range from formal seated dinners to casual grills and cocktail parties. Guests are asked to give what they can, not a required ticket price. This has allowed the event to remain open to anyone and everyone who supports its cause, while at the same time serving as the major fund-raiser for Friends For Life. Since hosts donate the cost of their parties, overhead for the event is kept to a minimum.

Another change in the event is that A Place At The Table is being separated from the Halloween party. The tremendous success of the Halloween Party has made it clear that this event a separate fundraising event which will provide additional funds to Friends For Life to be able to continue its vital mission in our community. This year’s Halloween party is titled, ‘Once Upon A Time…Scary Tales’ and will be held on October 25. Admission will be $35 to the event and promises to be the party of the year!
