Dancing @ Club Equality Immediately following the dinner
Reserve a table for friends and guests by becoming a Table Captain!
Table Captains are loyal supporters of equality who commit to host a
table of 10 dinner guests. There is no financial commitment when you
agree to host a table, but filling your table grants you some perks!
- If you fill your table, you can choose where you want to sit - the sooner you fill your table, the better selection you have!
- New this year - If you fill your table by July 31, you will be eligible to receive a $25 voucher to use toward your bid for select items in the Not-So-Silent Auction. Table Captains who fill their table by Aug. 28 will receive a $15 voucher.
If you aren’t able to fill your table completely, don't worry. We
will simply seat other fair-minded guests at your table and give you
the opportunity to meet other friends who share your support for
equality.
To become a Table Captain, just add your name to the list when you
order your tickets. Your table-mates can then choose your name from the
drop-down menu when ordering their tickets. For more details, please
e-mail tablecaptain@twincitieshrc.org.
