Spring Virtual Parties
- Looking 1-2 hosts for these spring virtual parties:
- Virtual game night – bingo, scrabble, family feud, or hire a professional to run the party like game night out .
- Virtual Peloton – a husband-wife relay (there is a way to select a “stack” of back-to-back classes, two 20-min rides). The team with the highest combined output wins and they can send a screen shot of their output so we can verify. Offer up a couple of raffle prizes to the winners. Hosts would chip in to buy the raffle prizes.
- Virtual cocktail making – Show people how to make a couple of your favorite cocktails, hosts provide the cocktail making kits and guests pick them up.
- Virtual Tequila or other spirit tasting – maybe hire, Boozephreaks: San Francisco Spirit Tastings, Classes, Distillery Tours
