How to Host an Event

All YAGers are encouraged to host events; all events are member initiated. Please attend our monthly events planning meeting to get your event on the next month's calendar and/or get help on your idea. If you can't make the planning meeting, just contact the calendar facilitator or email the planning list at cambridgeyag-wheel@yahoogroups.com.

The deadline for the next month's calendar is the 15th of the previous month.

Spontaneous events: If you would like to host a more spontaneous event, check our online calendar to make sure nothing else has been scheduled, then email the webmasters to get your event added and email the YAG list to announce the details.

If you do not know the addreses of these people just email youngadults@firstparishcambridge.org and your message will be forwarded!

Reserving a room at First Parish: If your event is at First Parish, make sure the calendar facilitator has reserved a room for the event.

Keys for events at First Parish: A keyholder has to be present at church events to let us into the building. It is not hard to find a keyholder who wants to come especially for events planned in advance. The event host has the responsibility to find a keyholder, but calendar facilitator can help with this.

Childcare: Childcare is available with 10 days notice and sometimes less for events held at the church. If you receive a request for a babysitter, call the church office (617-876-7772) to find out how to arrange for one. They have a list of approved childcare providers. YAG has a budget that pays this cost; there is no charge to the parent. The childcare will take place at the church. Please encourage any parent to use this service so they will feel welcome to participate.

Provide all the details people would need or want before attending. You can use this form as a guide.

Email the list serve as a reminder the week of your event.
