1-2-3 Step by Step Buffet Set Up.
As you move through the steps, you’ll fill out each stage to make sure
your buffet is expertly planned. You’ll be sure that there’s room for
everything and everything looks great.
Now you’re ready to start with Step One.
STEP ONE
In the left hand column of your paper, list every menu item you’ll be having on your buffet. This Includes your:
· Soups / Minestrone
· Salads / Caesar Salad
· Breads / Garlic Bread
· Main courses / Lasagna & Herb Roasted Chicken
· Side dishes / String Beans
· Condiments / Parmesan Cheese, Chicken Gravy
· Desserts / Fresh Fruit Slices & Cake
15
Here is an example of Step One of the PartyCharlie 1-2-3 Step chart. You’ll notice that we’ve only filled in Step One so far. We’ll get to the other steps next.
STEP TWO
In the column next to each menu item, list everything you’ll need to serve your menu items. Knowing what you’re putting the food IN or ON will tell you how much room you will need on your buffet table. So the day of your event you wont have to scramble for an additional table or even worse your buffet ends up looking bare. This includes items like:
· Chafing dishes · Tureens · Casserole dishes · Platters · Compartment servers · Serving bowls · Punch bowls · Crocks · Serving spoons · Condiment spoons · Ladles
· Ice cream scoops · Salad tongs · Serving forks · Carving knifes · Cheese knifes · Butter knifes · Cake servers · Spatulas
16
Now that you’re done with Step Two, your chart will start to look like this:
STEP THREE
· Now that you know what you’re putting your food in and on, you’ll know how much space
you’ll need. Draw a diagram of your buffet. You don’t have to do the diagram to scale (although
if you have the time and desire, it can only make your planning more exact). Just sketch out
where on your buffet tables you will place your items.
· Remember to sketch in your disposable ware and any floral arrangements or décor items
you’re planning on having because they will take up space.
· Check off each item on your chart as you draw it on your diagram. That way you know
you’ve addressed it.
17
When you’re done with Step Three, your chart will look something like this:
MENU ITEMS SERVING EQUIPMENT NEEDED STEP THREE

Caesar Salad Salad Bowl & Tongs
Garlic Bread Bread Basket

String Beans Bowl Spoon or Tongs
Parmesan Cheese Bowl /Spoon
Chicken Gravy Bowl /Ladle
Fresh Fruit Platter or Bowl/Tongs or Fork
Cheese Cake Platter/Cake Server/Cake Knife
It’s best to place your beverage in a separate location. Separating the food and beverage
will increase the flow of your party/event. But, if you need to include your beverages on
the buffet table, make sure you include cups, ice, beverage garnishes, wine/bottle
openers, and cocktail napkins.

Keeping Minutes of Meetings:
Minutes of the business meetings are the core of the organization’s history. These records not only have historical value, but may contain certain actions of the church related to property, governance, and affiliations. Therefore, they may include essential information related to legal or financial matters. Related to minutes are copies of the church constitution, by-laws, and covenant. Minutes and related records should be copied and stored separately from the originals.
Remember to put the full date on all correspondence, bulletins, & programs.
WHY RECORDS ARE IMPORTANT TO KEEP
_ Use of previous records can make current and future programs better. _ Referring to previous records can help improve administrative procedures. _ Records placed in the Conference Archives can be used by other groups for
reference and information. _ Written records are the primary source of Church history. If records are not
kept, Church history must depend on fading memories and secondary sources.
HOW TO KEEP RECORDS
_ All persons with church responsibilities are to maintain the records generated by their activities. Lay chairpersons and secretaries of boards and commissions may not hold records in their homes. Nevertheless, at the end of their terms of office they will either pass the files on to their successors, the church office, or the THAT United Archives.
_ Create and maintain a system of recordkeeping and filing that provides for preservation of, and easy access to, all the records listed in What Records to Keep.
23
_ Arrange file contents in a way appropriate to the subject – usually alphabetically, numerically or chronologically. Consistency is most important.
RETENTION OF RECORDS _ Do not dispose of any records, without directives from the Board or Chair of the
Board. (except for duplicates) _ Records listed under What Records to Keep may be transferred to the
Conference Archives. Such records continue to be the property of the church that created them.
Photographs are not even considered as church records. They do not have vital significance from a legal, business, or polity point of view; but, historically and even spiritually, they are immensely valuable.
Before the Meeting If you are recording the minutes, make sure you aren’t a major participant in the meeting. You can’t perform both tasks well. It is wise to have an alternate just in case you need to leave the table.
Use a template for recording your meeting minutes and make sure you leave some blank space to record your notes.
After the Meeting Review the notes and add additional comments, or clarify what you didn’t understand right after the session. Do this while the information is fresh in everyone’s mind. Setup the template, before the meeting – this will make the notes easier for everyone to read and use.
Avoid personal observations. The fewer adjectives or adverbs you use, the better. Dull writing is the key to appropriate minutes!
If you need to refer to other documents (such as financial records, ministry reports, etc, that someone else created), attach them in an appendix or indicate where they may be found. Don’t rewrite their intent or try to summarize the documents that are presented.
24
Recording board minutes ensure that the decisions and actions resulting from each session aren’t lost or forgotten. By taking the time to record proper notes you’ll make sure the time and effort that goes into a session isn’t wasted.
Stay focused throughout the session. If you become distracted for even a few seconds, you may miss something important.
Copy motions, amendments and other items to be voted on word for word. It is surprising how frequently there is a question about how something was worded. If there is any uncertainty surrounding the intent of a motion, you need to be able to tell participants what they actually said. Also, make sure you keep track of who made a motion, who seconded and the tally of the vote.
Transpose and/or edit your notes soon after the session. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to remember the context of the meeting when going over your notes. This can cause mistakes and when you take meeting minutes full of mistakes there can be major consequences.
Do not abbreviate the following titles. Examples of titles are:
1. Elder Lisa Pointer 2. Evangelist Anna Marshall 3. Deacon Raymond Pye 4. Suffragan Bishop Larry Smith 5. Presiding Bishop Pamela A. Smith 6. Associate Bishop Alvin Rozier 7. Bishop Robert G. Miller 8. Minister Michael Fischer 9. Trustee Elwood Cross 10. Pastor Leonora Lampkin 11. Even unofficial titles such as Prophetess, President (when place in front of
the name) 12. Do not abbreviate Sister or Brother; they serve as titles. 13. Us e the person’s complete name. However, if you need to repeat the
name again in the following paragraphs, you should omit the first name but keep the Title and last name. The following paragraph is an example:
