What Is a Progressive Dinner Committee?
A progressive dinner committee works as a team to organize a moveable feast for a small neighborhood or community. A progressive dinner party is an event where rather than host a dinner party by themselves several couples each hosts a course. The dinner committee helps with the planning by developing a list of participants, creating a schedule, help with menu planning and entertainment suggestions. Does this Spark an idea?
