The dinner will be full French cuisine by "chef Henri" who works locally.
A prerequisite is to bring your own dinner plate, dessert plate, cutlery and something to drink.
Dressing with French flair is also expected, Irene said.
During the evening there will be a French sing-a-long, an exhibition of pole dancers and maybe a guillotine will placed nearby.
"That's not a certainty," she said.
"And everyone must sing the Marseillaise," she said.
During Irene's years in Mangaweka she has worked at organising community events that all required raising funds for good causes.
They have included a champagne garden fair for the Fred Hollows Foundation (which provides eye care and prevents blindness for people in the Pacific Islands), a teddy bears' picnic for all the Playcentre kids, a stylish high tea, a glittering fashion show in the
Mangaweka Hall recently, which raised $1700 for the Vanuatu pickers who arrive in Mangaweka annually to work on the Turneys' asparagus farm.
"This fundraiser was important because the pickers are so hard-working and bring colour and vibrancy to the area when they are here from October to January," she said.
And next week Irene is setting up her vast range of collectibles at an old shop she has bought at 12 Broadway in the town.
Old favourites, such as Some Like It Hot, High Society and Casablanca, will be shown in the shop on special film nights, she said.
A screen has been set up on a wall and the projector already sorted, she said.
