Kiawah Dinner Group 2024

Joining the Kiawah Dinner Group (KDG) is a great way to meet and socialize with your neighbors and fellow residents. Whether you are a KICA full-time or seasonal property owner, the KDG provides the opportunity to foster new acquaintances, which, in turn, can become lasting friendships.

The KDG meets in groups of six to eight at a member’s home. The dinners will take place January 20, February 24, and March 23, 2024. KDG encourages both singles and couples to participate. Membership is only $15 a person. We will kick things off with a KDG Welcome Party on Wednesday, November 8, from 6-8 PM at the Sandcastle.

You may join as a regular member or as a substitute member to fill in when regular members are unavailable. The format of the KDG is for each attendee to provide a portion of the meal as assigned, with the host providing beverages, entrée, and a side dish. Please complete the attached Membership Form and mail a check made out to KDG ($15 membership dues per person) by October 25 to Claire Nelson if you would like to join the Kiawah Dinner Group. We look forward to your participation!!

Dinner Group Guidelines

Dinner Groups are scheduled for:

Saturday, January 20, 2024

Saturday, February 24, 2024

Saturday, March 23, 2024

As a host, if a dinner date does not work for you, please feel free to work out another date with your group as soon as possible.

Time: 6pm and ends by 10pm

The food preparation is divided into these categories and will be assigned when the schedule is posted.

Host(s): Main Course, Side Dish, Beverages

1st Guest(s): Appetizer(s) and Wine

2nd Guest(s): Dessert and Wine

Notes to Hosts:

Please make adjustments to the assignments to complement your main course. For example - assign additional guests the salad or side. Please communicate with your guests no later than two weeks ahead of time to see if there are any food allergies or mobility issues. Remind them of the date, time and location. Let them know what the main course is so they can plan their contributions accordingly. If a guest(s) is unable to attend, they are responsible for making arrangements for a substitute off the KDG list. If a sub is not available, the host can ask someone not on the list to attend.

Notes to Guests:

Please communicate with the host when planning your dish. If you need to use their oven, please check with them beforehand. Please bring your own serving dish and utensils. If you cannot attend, it is your responsibility to contact a substitute off the KDG list. Inform the host of the substitute you have scheduled.

KDG Assignments/Locations for Dinners

We will be publishing the schedules for hosts and guests attending each dinner later this year. We do our best to have everyone attend each dinner with a completely new group of neighbors to get to know.
