Can't Attend? Host a House Party!
If you can't make it to our party in Milwaukee, consider hosting a house party in your hometown for Rethinking Schools. It's easy!
After you e-mail Kris to let us know you're hosting a party, she'll send you a stack of magazines and other materials to hand out at your party. Then, all you have to do is remember these 6 P's:
- Personally invite your friends
- Clean your pad (optional)
- Provide snacks and drinks
- Make the pitch. Simply describe to your friends why Rethinking Schools is important to you, and why you think your friends should support us.
- Pass the hat.
- Party on.
It's as easy as that! If you need more information or advice about hosting a house party, contact Karen Shain, who will be happy to share her tips and tricks with you.
