HOW TO HOST AN EVENT

GUIDELINE AS TO 'WHAT TO DO' WHEN YOU ARE HOSTING AN EVENT FOR SINGLES SOIREE:


Introduce yourself to your members and for everyone to get to know each other. To make it a success, here's a little checklist to keep in mind:

Call your venue a day or two in advance and let them know how many people you expect to come. This will prevent any confusion when you get there. (Do This If Appropriate-It Depends Upon Event)

Get to the venue about 10-15 minutues early. This will allow you set aside space and get there before any members do.

Bring a Meetup table top sign - or something else that helps members find you - name tags, a distinctive t-shirt - something that lets them know who you are.

Bring a digital camera and encourage your members to do the same! That way you can snap a couple of photos and put them on your Meetup photo album later.

Have some flyers or business card handy for members to give to friends.

Finally, be on the lookout, and ready to welcome your members.


**BE YOUR WARM AND FRIENDLY SELF. Make everyone feel welcomed. Encourage members to interact with each other and to participate in the event. Yes, you are a cheerleader making sure that everyone feels welcomed and to make sure that everyone is having fun.
