What exactly does it mean to “host a Social” or "host a Party"?

Parent-hosted parties can be a big part of the Diemer Auction's success. As mini fundraising events and community builders, parties can raise a significant amount auction revenue. Parties for parents can range from themed dinner parties, wine tastings, sports outings, and fitness and art classes. Kids’ parties offer kids an opportunity to learn a new craft or skill, take a guided hike, or enjoy an afternoon tea party hosted by someone else’s parents. Parties bring together Diemer community members of all ages who share common interests or just want to relax and have some fun. Many parties are hosted by multiple families, who split the cost and share the planning duties. All party costs are paid by the hosts of the party so that all proceeds at the auction go to Diemer PTA! Interested in hosting a party?
