Events operating manual

From “I want to help with events” to “I can host, train hosts, and stack a two-day city visit without HQ babysitting.” Use field playbooks for depth; this hub is your table of contents.

What this lane covers

House parties, county fundraisers, weekend visits, and faith-community gatherings — plus the follow-up that keeps hosts from starting from scratch each time.

Toolkits & planners

Each item opens the canonical web playbook (print-friendly in the browser).

County fundraising objective (through September)

Every county should aim for at least one fundraising event between now and September — more when hosts and compliance capacity allow. Track county, host, date, goal, invites, RSVP, raised, and follow-up in the Fundraising Event Toolkit.

Weekend Community Immersion (repeatable)

Four to five ~45 minute home meet-and-greets anchored to a larger local event — see Weekend Community Immersion. Pair coffee, lunch, faith, and student blocks from the two-day city model.

Travel rhythm

Sustainable defaults for home nights and return buffers — Travel rhythm model.

Faith communities

Checklist: leader ID → contact → request → scheduled → follow-up. Read Faith community visits.
