The Convivium a Casa

Each Convivium a Casa will be put on the master calendar
and members are to respond to the host.
You decide on how many people you would like to invite,
probably a small group allowing for a comfortable evening
of conversation and fun...perhaps 6 to 10 people.
You, as host, will decided upon the menu and plans for the evening.
You may wish to enlist the help of those who will be attending your affair.
Each evening will be completely subsidized
by the attendees and the host.
You decide how to share the costs,
a potluck or percentage of shared total expenses.
Please determine the costs in advance to allow members
to know how much the event will cost.
Guests are expected to share in the full costs of the event,
there are no additional fees for the host.



The Options are Endless…
Brunch...Lunch…Dinner…
Your event could be any time of the day….
and might be combined with an event
all would enjoy or a seasonal activity!
Potluck…Host provides main entrée,
suggesting side dishes and wines or beer to compliment.
Wine/Beer Centered…Host decides upon
a wine or beer to celebrate, with each guest bringing
a beverage for the theme.
Wines can be placed in paper bags for blind tastings,
with each guest bringing a dish to compliment the beverage.
The host provides an informative discussion of the beverage.
Share your Ethnicity…Invite guests to share in your heritage.
You may provide the meal with the costs shared by the guests,
or invite guests to cook with you.
You may want to share your recipes, too!
Teach a Class…Many talented members may like to
share in their expertise on food….a demonstration class,
or a hands-on experience.
A Trip to Farmers’ Market or an Ethnic Market…
Then back to your home to cook together…featuring
possibly a special Colorado meat entrée!
Enjoy a Favorite Book Together…Plan a menu around
a favorite book, sharing the preparations and discussion
of the book during the evening.
A Tamale Party ...Guests join in the preparation of tamales,
both savory and sweet, explore the lore of the tamale!
Cinema & Company…Select your favorite film with
food in the starring role...Recreate the menu and passion!
Celebrate Your Garden…Invite guests to your garden
to enjoy the bounty of your efforts….cook together…
possibly barbeque with a view of the garden?
