Host a MAC in the City event

Our goal is to host MAC in the City events, big and small, in more than 30 locations around the world. We are looking for reliable volunteers to make it happen. To sign up, please read the Volunteer Responsibilities and fill out the form below by Monday, August 20.

Volunteer Responsibilities

1. Find a location (restaurant/bar/lounge/home) where you would like your city’s group to gather. The space can be private, semi-private, or a designated area within a larger space; it should be free. You will need to provide us with a contact person for the venue. A staff person from our office will help you throughout the entire process.
2. Attend the party and greet guests. About a week before the event, you will receive a packet containing blank nametags, markers and other materials—everything you need to host the event. A final guest roster will be emailed to you.
3. Bring a camera and take photos of your event, or arrange for a volunteer to do so. Email your photos to alumnioffice@macalester.edu so they can be included in the event's online photo gallery.
4. Maintain contact with the Alumni Office after the party in order to coordinate any post-event details and to mail the attendance sheet back to the office within a week of the party.

Staff from the Alumni Office will handle the all the other task—invitations, reminders, keeping track of RSVP’s, etc.

No financial commitment is expected of volunteers. Guests are expected to purchase their own beverages and appetizers, unless you wish to donate the cost of the appetizers and/or drinks for the group.

Some cities will have multiple volunteers, so feel free to recruit alumni to help you.

If you have questions, please contact Daymond Dean ’91 at ddean1@macalester.edu or 651-696-6295.
