THE DETAILS:
If you are interested in decorating a table, here are some things to consider:
- Plan a table for 8-10 with a Christmas theme.
- Set up is Friday, December 6th between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. in the Family Life Center at St. John Lutheran Church, 1100 North Main Street, Celina, OH.
- You may invite others (members and non-members) to help plan and decorate and sit with you.
- You need to provide your own table service: china, silverware, glassware, cups, napkins, decorations, chair covers, etc. as desired.
- We will be using plastic plates, cups, and coffee cups to actually use to eat on top of your "fancy'' plates, so that helps with clean-up!
- White linen tablecloths are provided (round or rectangular tables), but you may bring your own.
- You are responsible for clean-up right after the event.
- Have fun! Enjoy the Christmas season with beautifully decorated tables, a string orchestra, brunch. provided by Romers, and time with your friends.

You will need to identify which category best fits your table! Your table will only be entered in that category ... don't worry ... it is all in fun!
