What is Dining for Dollar$? (D4$) |
D4$ In the Know
|
|
It's our semi-annual fundraising auction! If you are new to First Church you may be unfamiliar with Dining for Dollar$ (D4$). Begun in 2005, Dining for Dollar$ quickly became our most popular collection of social events given by many different hosts throughout the year. Our hosts – church members and friends just like you - offer fun, social events such as dinners, luncheons, tours, adventures, services, and workshops. This year we're holding two auctions. Auction One took place last May for events which were held from June through December. Auction Two will now take place in November for events which will be held from December, 2024 through May, 2025. Many folks have requested this format because in the past, it's been difficult to schedule something that's many months in the future; both for the hosts and for the bidders. So, we're giving this a go.
Dining for Dollar$ is built on the concept of members creating and hosting fellow church members and their families & friends for dinners, teas and picnics, museum tours with lunch, pool parties, brunches & barbecues, cooking classes, and other events. In the past, we've raised as much as $60,000 towards the church's operating budget. Above all else, D4$ events are the talk of the church throughout the year. There are many events that are hosted by our church members and friends that allow us to be together in a myriad of ways. Especially following the last couple of years of the pandemic, we are anxious to see each in smaller groups in person, safely, and you just can't beat an outdoor patio dinner with church friends, a hike in Mission Trails followed by a picnic offered by your hosts, a beach bonfire, lawn bowling at Balboa Park, and many, many fun adventures. So, put your thinking caps on. You don't have to go it alone. Many hosts get together with friends and co-host to make the events more easy and fun to produce. Please click on the links to get some ideas. We'll be collecting events through October for bidding to happen for three Sundays, starting November 17. Let's build our community engagement with each other! |
