If you wanted an excuse to bring out the fancy plates or try out some new recipes then this is it. Be a part of a Guinness World Record for the World’s Biggest Dinner Party – Multiple Locations.
Umoja is asking you to hold a dinner party on Saturday October 26th, 2013, wherever you are in the world. Invite as many guests as you like and register your dinner party by e-mailing wayne@limoshardware.com. Then collect $20 from each guest and deposit the money into our bank account. Money raised from this event will support our Raise the Roof Appeal – building our first children’s home for up to 10 orphaned and vulnerable children.
PARTY IDEAS
There are many different ways that you can participate, including:
- Small, intimate lunch
- High tea with your girlfriends

PARTY TIPS
- Plan ahead. Write out your recipes and a shopping list. You don’t want to get half way through a recipe and realise you don’t have all the ingredients.
- Don’t take on too much. If you have a large number of guests don’t try and do all the preparation and cooking yourself—it’s ok to ask for help. If you want to do all the work then a smaller gathering is suggested.
- Don’t hide out in the kitchen all night. Remember that people are coming over to enjoy your company, so try and have as much prepared as possible beforehand.
- Set the mood. Remember that dinner parties are about more than food, so choose some appropriate music and decorate accordingly.
- Have fun. Take the time to have a drink, relax and enjoy the company of your family and friends.
Please consider participating in this fun event. You can help Kenyan orphans just by sharing a meal with family and friends.
