I am Libbie FitzGerald, an Ambassador for the Issaquah Schools Foundation at Liberty. The Schools Foundation is looking for people who may be interested in hosting a house party as an auction item at the Nourish Every Mind events this spring. 

Families from the central corridor schools are hosting a couple of parties, but we would like to get participation from all areas of the district if possible. 

To give you an example of what parties are offered now, we have the wine tasting party that is hosted by 5 people who each donate $100 for the party ($500 total cost to host the party).  We charge $50/person to attend the party and have the hosts invite everyone they can think of to attend.  We can accommodate up to 100 people at our party.  So at $50/person, we have the potential to raise $5000 for the Foundation. 

That is just one example.  There have been a number of different themes for parties in the past.  Examples include a tamale party, a “moms & margaritas” party, the Casino party, etc.  It’s really up to the imagination what kind of party to do.  And of course different parties will cost differing amounts to put on.  You can also charge more per guest as many of our parties charge $75/person. 

Potential hosts would likely want to find co-hosts to help pay for the cost of the food & drink, pick a location, and then promote it. 

Please contact me (libbiefitzgerald@gmail.com)  if you or someone you know would be willing to host a party! We can work with them on the details of how to host an event benefitting the Foundation.

I am also filling seats at our table for the Nourish Every Mind Luncheon (5/11/17) and Breakfast (5/17/17), so please let me know if you are interested in attending.

Thanks!

Libbie FitzGerald
