[ARCHIVE] Host

As the host, you are responsible for providing a clean and welcoming space in which to hold the upcoming campaign event.

Host Checklist

• Confirm that you have enough plates, silverware, and space to host a large number of people

  • If you don’t have enough plates and utensils, let the organizer know and attendees will be asked to bring their own. Let’s try to avoid disposables wherever possible

  • You can check on the rough headcount by seeing how many people have signed up to join via the Volunteer Sign-Up event. Plan on having ~25% more attendees than sign-ups

• Provide cleaning materials for post-event cleanup

  • Broom or vacuum to clean the floors

  • Multipurpose spray/disinfectant to wipe down surfaces in the kitchen, common areas, and bathroom(s)

  • Paper towels or rags

• Make sure your space is recreational drug free

  • No drugs, drug paraphernalia, or alcohol should be visible

  • No offers for beers or drinks

• Invite a few community members personally

  • While promotion is a separate role, personal invites from the host are especially meaningful!

  • Your message can say something like: “Hey Susie, I’m hosting a social for the pro-animal campaigns at my house next Saturday, I’d love to see you there if you can make it!”
