Host a watch Party

• Select a location that meets the needs of your potential attendees:

• Your own home

• Local business (e.g. restaurant, community center, library, bar, etc.)  that would be willing to have some awesome people spend a few hours, while partaking in their food/drinks.

• Promote the Party just like you would any other party.

  •  Reminding guests of the date, time, and location.

• You can also encourage them to bring their friends and family members who are interested in supporting LCIF or just want to know more about your Lion commitment.

• What will you serve?

• Home - are you going to provide all the food/beverages or ask people to bring a dish or drinks to share?  

• Business - that serves food - send the menu with the invitation so people will know what is available.
   

• How will you broadcast the Tell-A-Thon?

• Home - make sure that you can broadcast it live to a TV or projector

• Business - what technology is available? At minumum, you will need a strong wifi connection.   

• Before the day of the event, make sure and test all the equipment that you will be using to broadcast
