So you wanna be a Table host at Chi Fan for Charity …

Eat amazing food with nine awesome guests and enjoy a free-flow blow-out afterparty ... Does this sound like charity work? It is!

Over 50 top restaurants across the city have kindly donated tables of 10 for the evening of November 9th for the 11th anniversary of what amounts to Beijing's top charity social occasion, where the city's movers and shakers dine out for a good cause.

This year, our charity recipient is Bethel, a Beijing-based training center for blind and visually impaired children established in 2003. Since its founding has cared for over 300 kids and assisted with over 130 adoptions.

We on the CFFC Committee are now gathering the names of interested individuals who would like to be table hosts.

Here's a preview of how it will work:

Step 1: Express your interest in hosting a table by sending your name and email to Kit, our table hosting chair, via Wechat at kitcrisp or email at [e-mail].

Step 2: Begin assembling your prospective guest list!

Step 3: On September 23, you will be given a link to express your restaurant preferences. You'll be asked to pay a deposit and rank your five most desired restaurants, in order. Remember there is high demand for table hosting, so you'll need to be quick!

Step 4: On October 7, we'll confirm your restaurant, using an algorithm that gives you the best chance of getting your highest-ranked restaurant. Virtually everyone will get one of their top 5, but if in the off chance we are unable to place you in one of the top 5, we will contact you to offer an alternative choice.

Step 5: An invoice will be issued for the balance due for your table.

Step 6: You will be introduced to your point of contact at the restaurant, who will be holding your event programmes and wrist bands, which get you into the afterparty. Gather your guests and enjoy!

We will also be holding a raffle and silent auction, with prizes from an amazing variety of sponsors. So keep an eye out on the night!
