Host an Austin No Kidding! Event…
In case you don’t know where to start, we have some easy instructions/ideas.
Ideas
A Theme
Does your event have a natural theme? Does it center around a certain activity or place?
Previous special events included:
- Star Trek Party
- Plant Swap
- Open Screen Night
- Book Swap
- Spoetzl Brewery Tour
- Wine Tastings
- Storytelling & Stargazing
- Canopy Tour
- Classic Movies
- Spies: Livegame Party
Co-host
Do you want to share the workload? Consider seeking a co-host. Feel free to ask a fellow member of Austin No Kidding! to co-host the event. Extra eyes, ears, hands, and brains go a long way to help.
Date
Check the Austin No Kidding! calendar and then choose a date for your event. Email the date and event information to info@AustinChildFree.org. The Calendar Organizer will work with you to gather all the information needed for posting. In the description, include a deadline for when attendees will need to Claim a Ticket.
Location
The location can be your house, another private residence, a public area, or anywhere else you choose. Make sure the location fits the event; you can limit the number of attendees if needed. (To protect members’ privacy, the location of events is usually e-mailed at a later date to those who RSVP.)
Costs
Free Events
Austin No Kidding! does not charge for events. If the event requires entrance or parking fees, this must be a part of the event description.
Events with Fees
Some events (museum trips, tours, etc.) have fees associated with entrance and/or parking. These events are welcome, too. Again, just be clear in your description.
Hosting Duties
Make sure all the necessities are covered: food/snacks, drinks, plates, napkins, party favors (if that fits your theme and budget), etc.
Put your best foot forward. Hosting an event means that you are representing Austin No Kidding!
Have fun! An important part of membership in Austin No Kidding! is having a good time. Our members make us one of the friendliest social groups you’ll ever find!
