How to host events
-This would cover anything that’s not an art or music event. Free school classes, carnivals, science fairs, dance parties, clothing swaps, potlucks, bingos, etc. The steps to follow are pretty much the same, but with a little more research and creative flyering. If you’re hosting a knitting circle, maybe you’d want to put flyers up at knitting-specific places.
-If you’re hosting a class, it’s a good idea to ask people to RSVP and put some money down. This locks them into it, you get some cash up front and you know more how many people to expect. There will always be people showing up last minute, but the more people you can get to commit, the better. It’s easy if you set up a Pay pal account so people can easily get money to you.
-For auction and prize events don’t be shy in asking local businesses and museums to donate tickets or gift certificates. Remember to write a thank you and reciprocate that donation if ever asked and let people at the event know who the sponsors of the event are.
