Party Planning 🎉

Every Sunday after racing, MFA holds a social for the fleet. When the fleet sails in, that means a return to warm soup or chili, along with snacks and beverages.

The social is made possible by weekly volunteers who sign up to plan, provide, setup, and cleanup the social. All MFA members are required to volunteer for Party Planning at least once during the season.

It is recommended you work with a co-host in the event you cannot be there for clean-up or commute via train and need help bringing supplies. The commuting complexities for some folks can be tough to handle alone.

What does a party host do? 

The party host is responsible for cleaning the  crockpots, utensils, and clubhouse at end of the social.

• Hot food: make or buy something to fill 3 crock pots. (4 regular sized cans per crock pot)

• Snacks and drinks: bring a few six packs of beer, other beverages if you like, pre-portioned snacks like chips, pretzels, fruit, sliced/cubed cheese, crackers, cookies, etc

• Supplies: buy whatever party supplies we are low on (the prior party host or hospitality chair will email you)

• Pre-race: before racing:  put crock pot liners in 3 crock pots,  put food in crock pots, turn to medium, cover

• Post-race: after racing: put out snacks

• Cleanup: before you leave:

  1. 1. Tidy up, rinse ladles, put away leftover non-perishable food

     2. Throw out all trash, including crock pot liners - there is a large dumpster as you exit Beach Point on your left.

     3. Remove any glass or aluminum cans from Beach Point premises for recycling - If you aren’t driving, somebody who is will volunteer to remove recycling

     4. Make note of any supplies we're low on so you can either email the hospitality chair or the next party host to get those items replenished
