Responsibilities and Duties
House Party Hosts basically throw a great party. Your responsibilities include (but we can help):
Planning what you want to do. Do you want a big or a small gathering? Do you want to just educate your guests or ask them for donations? Do you want to cook or do you hate that idea? It is all up to you and we have great materials to help you plan, including Mali recipes if you want to do a dinner.
Inviting your friends (we have sample invites and encourage you to use something like evite to keep things easy)

A love of gathering with your friends!
Commitment Expected
This is a one-time commitment…although if you want to do it again we’d never turn you down.
Training
We have support materials to help you host a great party. If possible, the Executive Director of Mali Rising would LOVE to come to your party and talk with your guests — travel budget allowing. Also, the Executive Director will be available for questions and assistance at any time to make sure you get the support you need.
