Great Gatherings

What’s a “Great Gathering”?

Short answer: It’s a gathering that’s great!

Slightly longer answer: Two or three couples join forces and pay for a party as a donation to the school, then Bloom sells tickets to it. The ticket money goes to the school, and hosts can get a receipt for their donation from the parish or the school for tax records.

How many people come to a Great Gathering?

It can be for as many people as you like! We have Great Gatherings of all sizes, from 6 people up to 50 people.

How much do tickets sell for?

They sell for between $25 and $100 dollars, depending on several factors.

So Great Gatherings have a theme?

Yep! Some ideas that have been successful before:

• Oktoberfest

• Low Country Boil

• Bowling

• Curling

• 80s Night

• Bunco

• Pie-making Class
   

We have lots of other ideas you can work with too! If you’re interested in hosting a Great Gathering, contact BLOOM coordinators at BLOOM@stodilia.org.
