9. How to run an event Events are run by volunteers
If there are not enough volunteers for an event, it will be cancelled
You can do it!! Don’t feel overwhelmed!!
The board will do everything necessary to help you run a successful event
Example of how to run a small event: Family Game Night
Choose an evening
Contact a company such as MOX boarding house
Ask for donations of games to play or budget for games to be purchased
Coordinate with board to provide a location for event (school cafeteria)
Work with volunteer chair to get volunteers to set up and clean up
Advertise for event to get participants
Example on how to run a big event: SPRING FLING
Spring Fling Committee: 1 chairperson, 7-10 other committee members
The chairperson will choose meeting times for committee. They will also attend board meetings to report to board on progress and any assistance needed
Work with the committee to decide what food will be served, what activity tables will be offered (henna, face paint, etc)
Work with the volunteer chair to arrange specific jobs and time slots for extra volunteers. Also help art teacher arrange for extra volunteers to hang artwork
Work with the PTA president and treasurer to estimate budget for event
