Looking to start a Supper Club in D.C. area

[cantilene]

I am looking for people who are interested in starting a supper club in the D.C. area. I actually live in Rockville, MD, but would be interested in connecting with people in MD or D.C. I already have a supper club that has been running successfully for almost two years, but i am looking to branch out and start a new one in order to meet some new folks.

I love to experiment with different ethnic and American regional cuisines and would be excited to start a club of people with varying culinary background and interests.

If you're interested in starting a new club or if you currently have a supper club and are looking for a new member. Let me know!

New to Alexandria, VA and would be wiling to join a supper club. I love to cook and my husband is a great dishwasher. We only have a small apt but are willing to do the dishes at someone else's house :-). hoettelsea@vcu.edu

Thanks for your reply! I am thinking that once we've got six or so people interested we could figure out the details and have our first meeting. I've got a townhouse with plenty of space to host the first dinner. I'm looking forward to meeting you both!

Our Northern Virginia Cooking Light Club is welcoming new members!
We like to cook together. We’ve found we learn more from each other and develop better friendships this way. Group size: 6-10 active people…

How our club works:
We meet once a month, usually a Saturday or Sunday Afternoon or Evening. Someone volunteers to host and determines the theme, picks out the recipes and establishes a cap/limit for attendance (some homes/kitchens are smaller/larger than others). An e-mail is sent out to the group & those interested in attending, RSVP.
The host buys the food/wine for the event and keeps the receipts. We cook, eat, & clean up together.
At the end of the evening we tally up the receipts and divide the total cost incurred by the host by the number in attendance (usually ends up being $15-30 per person...this includes appetizer, main dish, sides, dessert & wine). We really learn a lot cooking together & have a lot of fun. We just need a few more active members. Could this be you?

Membership / Demographics:
We have 10 people on our e-mail list…3 active members. Our current group is mainly female late twenties- late thirties. Our base is Northern Virginia (Fairfax, Centreville, Manassas)…but we are open to the entire DC Metro area. We do have one member in Germantown, MD.
Some of us are single, some are married. We don’t have any age/sex/marital status requirements in our group. You don’t have to have your own home or even have a kitchen. We have had people arrange to “host” at another’s home.

Our requirement is you simply must love to cook or want to learn, and be cooperative (willing to help prep, cook and clean up).

If interested in joining us, send an e-mail to mail4cindy@gmail.com and I'll add you to our e-mail group.
