Hmmm, I guess the closest we come is nameing the table for the server! 
 "Charlotte's table needs more water", "Damon's table needs some of 
the vegetarian soup", serves the practical purpose that the numbers 
would.  In our area, I've never seen the serving organized as well as 
I hear of it being done elsewhere.  A few people like to serve and do 
it well and often, but no schtick.  Most servers are last minute 
volunteers, or people from tables roped into it and there is not 
organized schtick.  I may have to volunteer to be a hall steward next, 
cause I'd like to see some spiff and schtick.  What kind a schtick do 
you do with named tables?

Bonne
