OBOS House Party

Are you interested in supporting the work of OBOS? Do you like to host parties? Then throw a house party!

But wait, what’s a house party?

A house party is simply that -- a party. A host (or hosts) invites her friends to her home with the purpose of educating them about the work of OBOS. The house party sets up a cordial atmosphere where people can learn about the work we do, ask questions, get some personal attention, and contribute to the organization. 

The basic steps to each party are:

1. Deciding to host
2. Preparing a guest list
3. Inviting attendees
4. Planning the evening, particularly the pitch
5. Follow up and thank
