THE PARTY PROGRAM IS BACK!
This is a great FUN-raiser because it creates community throughout the rest of the year.
It is a FUND-raiser because the party proceeds go to Unity North Spiritual Center.
Sign up to host a party (which you cover at your own expense) anytime between June 1 and November 30. Tickets are sold for the parties, and all of the ticket money goes to Unity North Spiritual Center.
SIGN UP TO HOST A PARTY
Over the next several weeks, you have the opportunity to sign up to host a party by submitting a Party Program Form. Forms are available to fill out on paper or online. Each party host/hostess will decide the date, time, and location of the party, how many people they can host, and what the fair market value is for a ticket to their party. For example, let’s say you decide to have an Italian themed party at your house and will be serving a 5-course Italian dinner. Determine what the fair market value cost would be if you went to a restaurant for that same experience and meal. Add $5 to that (this IS a fundraiser!) and that would be the price for a ticket to your party.
The Party Forms deadline has been extended to Sunday, April 20!
Submit your form online at www.unitynorthmn.org/party2025
PARTY SUNDAY, MAY 18 ~ PURCHASE YOUR PARTY TICKETS
On Party Sunday, May 18, a booklet of all the parties, in date order, will be released. There will be paper copies available at Unity North, and the booklet will also be posted here. Tickets will be sold first come-first serve so attending in-person on Sunday, May 18, will give you the best opportunity to get tickets you want. Tickets will be sold up until the actual party date (or until sold out).
You can sign up for more than one party, so don’t be shy! This is a great opportunity to get to know each other better, and you may even end up attending parties with people you don’t know yet!
HOW THIS RAISES MONEY FOR UNITY NORTH SPIRITUAL CENTER
The host/hostess will throw the party at their own expense (the fair market value can be considered a tax-deductible donation which should be discussed with your accountant). All tickets purchased are donations to Unity North Spiritual Center and each is an investment in a day or evening of fun and good company.
