Join in the Fun of Milton Mix-Up 2005

Want to meet fellow parents at Milton in a smaller, more intimate setting? Then be sure to put the Milton Mix-Up social on your calendar. This annual event, which brings parents together at casual dinner parties throughout the greater Boston area, will take place on Saturday evening February 5th.

The Mix-Up committee is currently soliciting parents who would enjoy hosting one of the dinner parties in their home. If you can accommodate a group of between eight and 20 guests that evening, please contact Charlie Wagner (charliewagner@comcast.net), preferably before the upcoming holiday break.

Each host can decide how many guests to accommodate and the format for their own party. While most people choose to offer a pot-luck dinner, others prefer to self-style their party. The Mix-Up committee does the work of sending invitations, handling RSVPs and matching guests and hosts.

Whether or not you would like to a host a dinner, please save the date for this unique opportunity to meet the parents of your children’s schoolmates. Milton is a vibrant community and discussion at Mix-Up parties is guaranteed to be lively. You might well meet someone who’s lived on a kibbutz, or run a food bank, or knows how to make a mean soufflé, or has just visited the very corner of the world you’d like to explore.

Invitations will be sent out in January. Everyone who wishes to attend will receive the name and address of their hosts by the end of January.

Here are some comments received by last year’s participants:

"As a boarding parent, the chance to connect with other Milton families is
really invaluable. Many thanks for making it possible."

"Graduation in June will be better for all of us now that we have a few
more familiar faces with whom we can share the experience."

The Mix-Up dinner is scheduled to coincide with the weekend when many Class II parents are on campus to learn more about the college application process. We hope you can join us on Saturday night in these informal settings. You’ll be glad you did.
