At Events

• Collect Event RSVPs.
• Greet and check in guests - a great way to meet everyone who attends!
• Help the organizers by shopping for or providing refreshments.  (This does not have to be a financial commitment; just a trip to the store and delivery to the event.)
• Help with set-up and/or clean-up.
• Take photographs for our Web site.
• Write a brief review of the event for our Web site.
• Host one of our annual events such as the Summer Barbecue or the Winter Holiday Party (~50-100 people).
• Host a smaller event such as a speaker or panel discussion (~15-50 people).

Help Create or Organize an Event

• Organize a “Cheap Eats” group meal: Find a resonably-priced, interesting restaurant, ask them to suggest a day/time when business is otherwise slow (e.g. 3PM Sunday), and tell them you’d like to invite members of the local Harvard community and their families to gather for a meal.  Tell us your plan, and we will handle the publicity!  You might also encourage the owner to talk about the restaurant or its cuisine if there’s an interesting story to tell or to otherwise make a good impression with a good deal or a special menu.
• Organize a hike or a ski day.  
• Connected with a performing arts / museum / gallery / cultural institution in Colorado?  Or would you like an excuse to be?  Keep an eye out for Harvard-related or interesting stuff not generally available to the public around which a Club event could be organized.
• Introduce the Club to a local non-profit organization to discuss a community service event.
• Help us identify potential speakers with Harvard connections.
• Recommend a Harvard faculty member for a visit to the Club.
• Work in a cool lab or other interesting environment?  Host a tour!
• Alert us to good venues for a variety of events.
