Throwing a Fundraising House Party? Here's What You Need to Know:
If you're looking to raise money for a good cause without the extravagance of a full-on gala, having a house party can be great as a simpler, more intimate alternative. Held in someone's home, a fundraising house party can help you raise thousands of dollars within just a couple of short hours.

What are the key ingredients for a successful house party?
A good house party does not require a large or luxurious house as its venue; what it does require is an enthusiastic host who cares about a good cause that will help the community.

Who are the most effective hosts? They will be:

• Eager to open up their home to their guests
• Willing to invite their friends and relatives to the party
• Ready to make all of the attendees feel comfortable

The Miller Barn structure is vulnerable to deterioration from the elements and to potential demolition in the face of development of their surrounding property. It is imperative to preserve this barn and surrounding acreage as one of the cornerstone structures for the Woodbury Community.
