Progressive Dinner at the Arts Center

As an active member of the Arts Community we encourage you to join us for the first Progressive Dinner benefit for the Becket Arts Center. All the details are shown below. Several members of our board will open their homes, so if you would like to provide a main course and don't reside in Becket or just don't have room in your home, you can join one of us.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would share this information with your friends and family. Without a doubt this will be a fun evening for all. Call me if you have any questions 413-623-6411

This event requires planning on the part of our committee so even if you are providing a main course, we still need to hear from.

End the busy summer season with friends from the Becket Arts Center.

A progressive dinner typically takes place in a neighborhood where you walk from home to home with a glass of wine in hand. Since walking in a neighborhood in much of Becket means putting on a pair of hiking boots and walking in the dark, we have simplified the process.

We will start at the Becket Arts Center at 6 p.m. where the hors d'oeuvres will be served. The people responsible for the hors d'oeuvres would need to arrive 30 minutes early to make sure everything is in place when everyone else arrives.

We will then proceed to a private residence(s) for the main course vegetables, starch, bread and salad. Depending on how many people have signed up we may even move to another private residence for the dessert course.

The price is $25 each person plus an hors d'oeuvre, or vegetable, salad, starch, bread course. The 2 individual hosts pay no fee, however, are responsible for providing their residence (or board member residence) and the main course for 8-10 people. A single host is responsible for 4-5 people. Multiple hosts can have their gathering at one home if space permits. The hosts will meet with the chairperson one time to put together a game plan for their dinner as they serve as the coordinator of their 4-5 couples in their group.

This is the first year that we are putting together this event. It is a great way to spend a social evening with friends in the Berkshires. All are welcome
