How you can help: Host a House Party!

It is very simple. Invite your friends to your home for lunch, tea, dinner, dessert, drinks and appetizers, a movie night, whatever you like.  In the invitation, let them know that you are asking for a donation of whatever size you are comfortable with in return for the wonderful afternoon or evening you are offering them.
