Tribe update from Rich!

RO Rob Orsini Public Seen by 270

Hello Dream Daters
I'm getting excited about Soup. I hope you are too.

Now is the time to use Loomio to have an open conversation and make cool, fun things happen.
We use this medium to develop ideas, make plans, commit to do things. Please speak up, like Ann-Marie did above. Way to model Ann-Marie!

Please suggest ideas for us to do at the Saturday Night Gala. An idea that came up at the picnic is serving dates filled with yummy goodness (goat cheese, almond butter, chocolate, whatever else). Thank you Ann-Marie for offering to fill in on that. Who else wants to make dates filled with goodness? Please coordinate with Ann-Marie. It means buying the ingredients in advance and preparing it in advance or preparing it there. If you prepare it there you can probably get help from other Dream Date tribe members. I am pretty sure that expenses for tribe offerings can get reimbursed (I await confirmation on that) so hold on to your receipts.

What other fun stuff can we do? Another idea that came up at the picnic is giving people pieces of paper with Dream Date inspirational ideas on one side and a person's name on the other. We give these pieces of paper to people to find their Dream Date. Who wants to do that?

Ann-Marie suggested a portal of some kind. What can that look like? A romantic table for two? A couch with lots of cushions? Ideas please.

We can create ideas and make amazing things when we get there but then we have to use what we have (which can be great). By planning in advance we can set ourselves up.
What do you think Dream Daters?
Please chime in.
ox, Rich & Rob Dream Date Fearless Tribe Leaders

Being tribe leaders together is kind of a dream date in itself.

I'm re-posting this message from Rich in it's own thread. This might make it more visible. Hard to know... :)

One idea I had: Maybe we can all creating a Dream Date song to be performed at some strategically unplanned time... Might be fun. Include lyrics that are on-topic... Thoughts?

If the portal idea is a go, I have some white mini lights that are battery operated. I will bring them.

hi tribe!
i really love the stuffed dates idea, so let’s go with that.
i’m drooling over this site … https://www.cardamomandtea.com/blog/dates-8-ways

i can pick up the dates and perhaps we can find time to de-pit them together?
i can also pick up a bunch of yummy and creative stuffings for them.
any requests?

how many dates should i buy?
reimbursement or shared cost of the purchases?
sound good?
thanks for the nudging!

Hi Vicki, buy as many as you feel like. I wouldn't worry about feeding ALL of Soup, that's too much. Also, consider the manual labor involved. In terms of reimbursement, it's up to the participating tribe members to share the costs among ourselves, so buy with that in mind. Thanks for your energy! Date on!!! ...... :)

I'm happy to help share the costs. Mejdool dates are the best and they don't need to be pitted. I think the gala sheet asks for 40 pieces if I recall, but we can do some more since they're small. Some delicious stuffed dates are with mascarpone cheese (4 oz per 24 dates), 1 navel orange (per 24 dates), 1/4 cup pistachios (per 24 dates), and 1 jar premade caramel sauce (for up to 100 dates) .
