Monthly Dinner

The February Valentines Dinner/Oinkari Bingo is scheduled for Saturday, February 21. The dinner will be prepared by Chef Jesus Alcelay and hosted by the Oinkari Dancers. Monthly dinners are for our members and their guests. They are not open to the public.

The doors will open to the dining room at 6 PM with dinner being served buffet-style at 6:30 Prior to entering the dining room, please pick up your reservation ticket in the bar as you willneed it to pay for dinner. Members & guests price is $25 and children (age 10 and under) are $10. If you did not prepay online, you will be able to pay in cash, check, or credit card at the door.

MONTHLY DINNER BABYSITTING UPDATE
There will be childcare available during the February dinner from 6-8 PM. We have allotted one sitter per 10 kids. For the February dinner there is one sitter available so, accordingly, there will be 10 reservations available. Make babysitting reservations when you make your normal dinner reservation. This service will be free of charge. Childcare is first come, first served. You will receive communication if your babysitting reservation is accepted, or if you did not make the first ten spots. If there’s significantly more interest than the 10 available reservations, this will be taken into account for the March dinner.

PARENTS: children with a babysitting reservation will be expected to follow rules and instruction from the babysitter, including the expectation to remain in the basement. Children that leave the designated babysitting area will not be allowed to rejoin that evening, and families of children that do not follow the rules risk being unable to participate in the service in the future. This will be the policy out of fairness to the sitter and to minimize the Center’s liability exposure. The childcare process and implementation is a work in progress so thank you, in advance, for your patience and understanding as we find what works best for the most members. Please call or text questions to Amaia Donahue at 208-724-7533 as we continue to refine this process.
