For my November event, I am proposing a thanksgiving day
themed game night as a way for residents to celebrate
Thanksgiving early with their friends, neighbors, and other
residential community members. The event will utilize many of
the board games currently occupying the community center and
will set up different stations per table for different board games.
My intention is to provide a space for residents to relieve stress
prior/after their midterms. I also acknowledge that many
residents may be going home for Thanksgiving and I want to
provide a space for those who are not returning home to have
an early gathering with their loved ones away from home. This
event will be facilitated by two different RAs to ensure that no
stations are overcrowded and that each game is executed in a
respectful, fun manner (friendly competitions only). Moreover, as
an early Thanksgiving day gift, I am planning to make goody
bags full of candies and chocolates with a little thankful note in
each bag. Residents who have already signed in and have
engaged with others in some capacity can treat themselves to a
bag of delicious thankfulness! I am anticipating 25 active
audiences and 10 members who won’t be able to stay full time
but still wanted to participate briefly.
