Summer “TV Dinners”

Melissa Kallett

It’s time to play games—as the summertime hit TV Dinners return on Monday, May 15 in the Tuscany Falls Ballroom and continue thereafter on the third Monday of the month in June, July and August. These fun-filled evenings brought to you by your Recreation, Activities and Food & Beverage Departments will provide you a buffet dinner and the opportunity to meet some of your fellow summer Creekers, while becoming part of the after dinner entertainment. Yes, following dinner, all attendees become part of the fun as contestants on a different TV Game Show each month.

“It’s all about getting out of the house, meeting new people, eating and having fun,” says Melissa Kallett, Director of Recreation and emcee of the night. “Folks can come alone, as a couple or with a group of their friends. When you buy your ticket at the Eagle’s Nest Activities office, we’ll assign you a seat at a large community table to encourage camaraderie for the night. At the end of the night, diners will leave having met new friends and having had a good laugh from all the fun.”

Tickets are $18 (includes cost of meal, tip, tax and prize fund) and can be purchased at the Eagle’s Nest Activities office Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Each month the ballroom will open for bar service at 5:30 p.m. with a dinner buffet at 6:00 p.m. and TV Game Show at 7:00 p.m.

The first TV Dinner is Monday, May 15 and the Game Show will be Majority Rules. Each table becomes a team—and a series of consensus-seeking questions will be asked, each with no right or wrong answer. The most popular answer is “correct” and teams with that answer “win.” “The questions will not test your intelligence level so there is nothing to fear,” says Kallett. “We’d love to fill the ballroom and hope people come out and support this fun activity,” says Patti Wegehaupt of the Activities Office. The menu has yet to be determined, but be assured it will be tasty—and you won’t have to cook it or clean up!

Mark your calendar—and plan to attend this summer happening! The June TV Game Show will be Liar, Liar, in July Let’s Ask The Audience and in August Emcee’s Choice of a game yet to be determined. Tickets for each dinner go on sale the day following the previous TV Dinner. Questions can be directed to Patti at the Activities Office, 535-9854, or Melissa, Recreation Director, at 935-6743.
