Summarize the following:
Make sure the space you want to throw the fundraiser in is available on the day and time you want and reserve it. Leave enough time between now and the date of the event for invitees to respond, if applicable. Don’t schedule your event on the same days as major holidays or other big events to avoid conflicts and maximize the number of attendees. Make sure there is adequate space and find out what supplies are available to use, if any. Make a map of the space and draw in where different things will go on the day of the event.  For example, if you are hosting a fundraiser at an event space like a conference center, they probably have things like microphones, sound systems, and other electronics available to borrow or rent. If you’re hosting an outdoor fundraiser, make sure you plan out where things like parking and concession booths will be. Research online or talk to other people who have hosted fundraisers in your area to find out what permits are necessary. Fill out any required paperwork and pay any fees to ensure your event is legal and avoid any fines or other problems. For example, if you are holding a raffle, you may need to speak with the gaming authority. If you're selling food, you may need to check with the health department.

summary: Schedule a date and time. Tour the chosen location’s facilities to plan for the event setup. Notify the proper authorities and complete any required paperwork.


Summarize the following:
Ask your host for appropriate cleaning supplies if you need them. If your host provided a pillow, blankets, a towel, or a floor mat, ask where to put them. Return any items you borrowed. Don't leave anything behind besides gifts. Toss out all your trash, and offer to take the trash out if you filled it up. If you had a great time, say so. A good review will help your host find couch surfers that match her interests and attitude. To describe your experience with the host, visit the host's profile and click on the ... symbol, then "Write Reference." Write an honest reference that describes your host's attitude, plus a couple specific things your host did that made (or broke) your trip. Mention anything you found surprising, even if it was pleasant; other couch surfers will appreciate being told in advance. Not all surfers and hosts will make friends every time, but if you did find a friend, trade social media or email contacts. Say hello once in a while and let your hosts know how the rest of your trip is going.

summary: Clean up after yourself. Leave your host a reference. Keep in touch.


Summarize the following:
Once the engine starts, the alternator produces the electrical charge it needs to keep running. Press the clutch back to the floor with your left foot so you stop accelerating.  With your foot on the clutch, the engine’s RPMs (Revolutions Per Minute) will drop down to an idle. The alternator will recharge the battery and keep the engine running. Keep your foot pressed firmly on the clutch as you push the gear selector forward into the neutral position. This takes the car out of gear. Then use your right foot to apply the brakes and bring the car to a stop.  You can take your left foot off of the clutch once the car is in neutral. Do not shut off the car once you stop. It will take the alternator a while to recharge the battery sufficiently, so leave the engine running once you stop. If the lights were on but the starter was just sluggish, 15 minutes will probably do. However, if the battery was too dead even to turn the lights on, 30 minutes to an hour might be more appropriate.  You can drive the vehicle around while it recharges the battery. If you shut the engine off before the battery is charged enough to start it again, you’ll have to start over.
summary: Press the clutch back down after the engine starts. Put the car in neutral and step on the brakes. Let the car run for at least 15 minutes to charge.
