Event Hosting

For a major­i­ty of the year, the lead­er­ship of SHoWLE, the pres­i­dent and Board of Directors, plan, devel­ops, and hosts our var­i­ous meet­ings and events. We try to hold at least one gen­er­al meet­ing a month and the rest of the time we might sched­ule and host an event — either a meet­ing or social activ­i­ty. This is where you come in.

In an effort to fos­ter a com­mu­ni­ty and to bet­ter meet the needs of the mem­ber­ship, SHoWLE offers mem­bers and friends of the group the oppor­tu­ni­ty to plan, devel­op, and host an event that is pro­mot­ed by SHoWLE.

These events can be almost any­thing that inter­ests you but there are some ground rules in order for it to be pro­mot­ed by SHoWLE:

1. It should have some con­nec­tion to Humanism or our Humanist val­ues based on the 10 Commitments.
2. It should not be strict­ly polit­i­cal. SHoWLE has to be mind­ful of polit­i­cal events and dis­cus­sions due to our tax exemp­tion although hav­ing an event about the right to vote would be fine — for exam­ple.
3. The event should be as inclu­sive as pos­si­ble for gen­der, age, and mobil­i­ty. If pay­ment of a fee is required then make sure to note that upfront. Free is bet­ter.
4. Event host­ing is open to our mem­bers and friends of the group. Priority will be giv­en to cur­rent mem­bers.
5. While SHoWLE will pro­mote an event, the host is entire­ly respon­si­ble for plan­ning, devel­op­ing, and host­ing it. The host will find the venue and book it and after­ward will let SHoWLE how many peo­ple attend­ed.

If your event becomes pop­u­lar, it might become a reg­u­lar part of our group activ­i­ties. Our Kid’s movie and free piz­za event start­ed as an idea from a mem­ber.

If you have a ful­ly formed idea for an event and want it pro­mot­ed then fill out the form below and we will get back to you. If you are not sure if your idea fits, lets us know about any­way on the form and we can dis­cuss it.
