Party Assistants.....Duties.....Check-in Guys

---Arrive at event about 30 minutes before official starting time.
---Check in with hosts/Party Assistant Coordinator. Find out where you will be stationed.
---You will have a list of the guys who will be attending with notes indicating those who are guests.
---As guys arrive, make sure you collect the member fee (usually $5) and the guest fee (usually $10). The appropriate fees should be indicated on the top of the list.
---If a guest indicates he might want to join you should have new membership applications at the desk. Make sure he fills out the application giving a complete address and phone number and that the application is signed and dated. If he joins, the entrance fee will be only $5 instead of $10 but be sure to collect the membership fee.
---If someone has not made a reservation he should be charged $10 (whether a member or guest)...add his name to the list.
---Have the member or guest sign the list next to his name.
---Give him directions to the changing room and tell him to return for the writing of his name. (Please do not write names on forearms/shoulders as these easily transfer to walls if the guest leans against one!)
---Make sure the cash collected is put in the envelope provided and keep it in a safe place.
---Remain at the check-in station until it seems everyone has arrived....generally 2 hours after the start of the party. Usually there will be 2 check in guys so after the initial rush you may take turns at the check-in table.
---Be sure to personally hand the money envelope and completed reservation list to the Party Assistant Coordinator, to the Treasurer, to the Secretary, to the President or if they are not available, to any Steering Committee member before leaving the check in table.
---Go and enjoy the party!!!!!


Party Assistants.....Duties....Set-up Guys
(Usually Needed for Potlucks or if Elaborate Set-up is Required)

---Arrive at event about 30 minutes before official starting time.
---Check in with Hosts or the Party Assistant Coordinator as to where food and other items will be set up (tables in the house, outside, etc.).
---Set up the basic food area with plates, plastic ware, napkins, etc. which will be brought by the Food & Beverage Coordinators. Also, help the Food & Beverage Coordinators to bring sodas and other items into the party (there is often lots of stuff to carry from their car into the party).

For a Potluck
Greet the guests at the check-in table, advise them to pick up their dish afterwards, take it home to clean and assist them in setting up their dish on the table...generally salads, main courses and desserts will have a separate area of the table or be on separate tables. Make sure serving utensils are brought with the dish or get them from the host. DO NOT PUT DISHES OF FOOD IN THE HOST'S KITCHEN, REFRIGERATOR OR OVEN...EVERYTHING SHOULD BE TABLE READY UPON ARRIVAL. If it is not see the host or Party Assistant Coordinator.

For a Non-Potluck
Work under the direction with the Party Food Coordinators to bring in the platters of food and set up the items. If items are not put in the serving area at the start of the party, help the Party Food Coordinators to bring out the food trays at the desired time.

---Once everything is set up you are done.
---Go and enjoy the party!!!!!


Party Assistants.....Duties....CLEAN-UP GUYS

---YOU MUST BE WILLING AND ABLE TO STAY UNTIL THE END OF THE PARTY,USUALLY 3-4 HOURS AFTER THE STARTING TIME. If this is not possible be sure to let the Party Assistant Coordi nator (the guy who called you) know about that.
---Upon arrival check in with Hosts or the Party Assistant Coordinator as to any specific needs such as the location of garbage bags/bins, recycle bins, etc...etc...
---Do not wait until the guests leave to begin the clean-up. Throughout the party pick up trash that is left around the house, outside, pool area, etc. and toss it away. That will make the job at the end much simpler.
---Help the hosts package any remaining food and find out what they wish to do with it. Often the hosts will ask that guests take some small amounts home with them.
---DO NOT DISPOSE OF LEFTOVERS IN THE HOSTS' GARBAGE DISPOSAL. (More than once this has caused a plumbing backup which is not fun for the guests, hosts and can cost the club big bucks to have it repaired!!!)
---Assist the Food and Beverage Coordinator in packaging up the leftover items and taking them back to his car. Help break down any extra tables that belong to the club and help replace any moved tables, chairs, etc. that the host provided.
---Try to make it your goal to leave the hosts' home in the same state as it was when you arrived!!!
---But....throughout all of this be sure to have fun and enjoy the party!!!!!
