There are Many Ways to Support the Club
The RMHUC is run by volunteers. How about pitching in to do just one thing?
Here are some ideas:
At Events
- 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 or write up a brief review of an 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'll handle the publicity!
- 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.
