Holiday Brunch Committee

The Guild Holiday Brunch Committee plans and creates a social gathering that centers on a midday potluck meal to celebrate the holiday traditions of Guild members.  Unlike other Guild events, everyone who attends brings food to share. This event includes a program organized by the Service Awards Chair that acknowledges lifetime service by distinguished Guild members.  The Guild President is Master of Ceremonies. The gathering is usually held at lunchtime on the first Wednesday of December, and it replaces the regular Guild business meeting and speaker for that month.

 The Guild Holiday Brunch Chair

  • Is invited to serve by the Guild Programs Coordinator, following approval by the Guild President. May select a co-chair to share responsibility (highly recommended to distribute the work and for succession planning).
  • Reports to the Guild Programs Coordinator.
  • Oversees the planning and organizing of the event.
  • Establishes an overall theme, menu and corresponding holiday décor.
  • Recruits 16 to 20 volunteers to help set-up, serve, and clean up after the event.
  • Secures food supplies sufficient to serve approximately 150 people by:
    • Soliciting food donations and cash contributions from the Guild membership
    • Purchasing additional food items needed to supplement those donated
  • Submits a brief annual report to the Guild Programs Coordinator, as requested.
  • Reviews the job description on the Guild website at the end of each Guild year and reports changes to the Guild Programs Coordinator.

 Support from the Guild Programs is provided, as well as a detailed “how to” guide concerning the event.
