Printed Menus/Layout
Printed menus should be provided whenever possible. They convey information about the
event, provide a written record for the Bailliage and attending guests. They set the
Chaîne events apart from those of other organizations. The following should be included
in every Chaîne menu:
-
Full name of the organization, Confrérie de la Chaîne des
Rôtisseurs,
Bailliage des Etats-Unis
-
Name of the local Bailliage
-
Date
-
Name of the host establishment
-
Complete menu (an English translation if menu is in a foreign language)
-
Complete listing of wines served, including vintages and notes
-
Important host establishment personnel (at least the Chef)
If possible, the following should also be included:
-
The Chaîne Seal
-
Rules of the Chaîne
-
Names of the Bailli Delegué and Regional Bailli (whether present or not)
-
National Officers in attendance
-
Local Officers (whether present or not)
-
All in attendance, including guests of honor
-
Inductees or Members being elevated (if applicable)
Information about the food and wines served, and/or about the event theme is optional.
Take advantage of the many options available to achieve originality and diversity in your
printed menus. For example, you may have a member who is good at original design and will
create covers for your menus. Alternately, reproduce art that is in the public domain (you
can safely assume that anything published seventy-five years ago or more is now in the
public domain) on the cover. The host establishment sometimes has covers they would be
pleased to supply. Also, formal cream-colored covers as well as less formal blue covers
embossed with the Chaîne logo may be ordered from the National Administrative Office.
