Manassas Mystery Dinner
Many of us were already at the Lodge from the DeMolay Installation earlier in the afternoon, but we all got changed from formal dresses into our plaid shirts for the Mystery Dinner and were ready to begin working by 4pm. The dinner was different this time in that the people who bought tickets did not know what they were going to be eating. In the lobby was the silent auction.
At 5pm, we opened the doors for the dining room so people could be seated as everyone would be eating dinner at the same time. Everyone was given a piece of paper that showed four courses and there was a list of what people could order with twenty-four items. Each course would give diners five items, and at the end of each course all places were cleared including cups and any silverware ordered. Since food, drinks and silverware were all mixed up, it made for some very interesting combinations. Once the four courses were done, the food was brought out to the dining room and people were actually able to eat the food they wanted in better proportions. At around 7pm, the silent auction winners were announced. Once it was all over we all helped to clean up and we were able to go home shortly after by 8pm.
In Rainbow Love & Service,
