Stay tuned!

  14. Top Fears of Table Captains • What if I can't get 9 people? That’s okay, we will combine tables if necessary. Just do your best. • What if my guests can't give much money, or any at all? That’s okay too… sometimes those guests may have connections to others or may wish to be a Table Captain in the future. • What if people say no? Let them know we will mail them a pledge card and information about DHCDC.
