Here at CLF, we like a good party.

• Position: Conservation Law Foundation of New England

We also know that small, intimate gatherings of friends and neighbors sharing food, drinks and conversation are some of the best places to spread the word about our work across New England. You-our members and supporters-are the best voices we have for telling our story. Please help us grow by hosting a house party.

Hosting a houseparty or other events to benefit CLF is a huge way that you can show your support. Events can vary in size from 10 to 100 people and can be geared towards raising funds, raising friends, or raising awareness. Here are some sample event ideas:

* A cookout highlighting food from local farms to promote CLF's work on sustainable agriculture;

* A hike, kayak, or other outdoor tour in one of the places CLF is working to protect;

* A CLF benefit sponsored by your business [e.g., restaurant night, concert, sporting adventure);

* A lecture by one of CLF's expert advocates on a topic of interest to your workplace, association, or school;

* A cocktail party discussing CLF's work on climate change adaptation.

And we know you, too, have a HOST of good ideas! Contact Devon Parish in the...
