FOTESS Hostess List for 2016

10 years ago

Hi Everyone, thought I'd post this now, to give us a headstart on hostessing for 2016. If you'd like to be a hostess for any of the months left, just fill in your name and re-post the list. Jeanne and I are grateful to all of you who have taken a turn, and we will gladly help anyone who wishes to host in 2016.

Just a word about games and prizes. It is entirely up to each hostess, whether she/he plans a game with prizes for that month. It is not a requirement for hostessing.

If you want to plan a game, you can, if not, that's fine too.

If you do want to play a game, It does not need to be elaborate. A simple Bingo with one prize for the overall winner is fine. You can do whatever you like with your month and your game.

Okay, then, Onward! Here is the Hostess list for 2016 and many thanks in advance to anyone who volunteers!

January

February - Shirley

March

April - Jeanne

May -

June - Shirley

July

August

September - Jeanne

October - Shirley

November - Jeanne

December - Shirley

    Put me on the Substitute Hostess List. I always loved the quote, "If you want to make God laugh tell Him you made a plan." So if life doesn't go just as you planned I'll offer to jump in--God willing and the creek isn't rising! LOL Heidi

      I will take March if that's ok. Would like January, but having surgery that month! So March it is!

      I'd be happy to take May. I hope we have someone new who would like to try their hand at hostessing. It really isn't hard to do and like Shirley said, you can do what you'd like as far as hosting and there is many of us to help you along. Margo

      Katie, thank you, thank you! I'll change any month I have, except December, if you find you need to change. Or now, if you want. Let me know! Or if you would like a month and discover that they are all taken, I'll give you one of mine, just post on here.

      And that's a wrap, Ladies and Gent! Jeanne and I both are sincerely grateful to those of you who take the time to play hostess for FOTESS! Thank you all VERY MUCH!!

      I'm happy to have July, Shirley. Thanks for the offer, tho. When I signed up last year for August, I remember thinking "we will have been moved in for months!" Wrong!! Hahaha. Thank goodness I won't be building a house in 2016!!

    • 10 years ago

      Okay, Katie, but the offer stands, if something comes up.

      And Everyone else, if you would like one of my months, other than December, just yell!

      Bedtime!

      Shirley!

    • 10 years ago

      Thanks, Heidi, you're on the list!

      Shirley!

    • 10 years ago

      Shirley, I will take your October if Heidi wants to take my January.....if that does not work I will happily keep the month of January! Heidi, what do you think???

      Annie

    • 10 years ago

      That sounds like fun! Okay, I'll take January!
