 Set up tables to make it look romantic. Use candles and decorate tables.
 Have the teens serve the people. Take their orders so you know exactly what
 they want on their plate. Do a "suggested donation" so if people can't afford
 to go, they still can to enjoy the fellowship! When we did this fundraiser,
 others gave more of a donation and that evened it out for those who
 couldn't. It was the "talk of the church" for a week! ---
