Secrets of Successful House Parties: Effectively Raise Money/Awareness or Mobilize for Action, by Lila G. Gracey, aims to ensure that charities and hosts know exactly what home fund-raising parties entail. Centering on seven “secrets,” the book offers tips on many aspects of house parties, including invitations, entertainment, speakers, budget, greeting guests, and asking for money. A section on questions to ask potential hosts is included, as are a sample budget and two timelines for planning the party: one for the beneficiary organization, and another for the hosts.
