Hosts for the Monthly Socials:
Hosts for the Monthly Social are volunteers who open their homes to the group for a couple of hours once or twice a year (or maybe just once in their lives).
What Hosts Provide:
- Generally, they provide a place to gather for 25-70, preferably near public transportation.
- Typically, they provide ice, cups, and napkins.
- Ideally, the host should have some dishes or platters and serving utensils for food supplied by the guests.
- Often they also provide some food and/or mixers.
- Occasionally, they have provided a feast.
Where:
The host selects the time and place for the Social, typically in his home but conceivably in a public park or elsewhere.
When:
The majority of hosts have traditionally chosen Saturday evenings. They are free to choose other times. The most commonly chosen hours have been 8:00-11:00 or 8:30-11:30 PM, but some have chosen longer, shorter, earlier, or run later. Typically, the crowd drifts out in time to get to the cruise bars at their height.
Info:
Shortly after committing, the host should provide for early release to the guests:
- the address, including any apartment number or dial entry code
- the closest metro stop, and approximate distance from it
- the nearest cross street
- possibly a rough map of how to get there, and
- an assessment of the difficulty in finding parking.
