Guest Blogger: Vassar Greens President fills you in on The Dinner Party
February 28, 2012 by admin
Last Thursday VHP partnered with the Vassar Greens to throw The Dinner Party, a super sophisticated fundraiser for our reforestation initiative. Below, guest blogger Amanda Cheung ’13, Co-President of the Vassar Greens, recaps the collaboration.
The Greens had a fantastic time organizing the Dinner Party with VHP this past Thursday!
Setup was a little hectic when guests started to arrive before we finished setting up the food, but after that, the rest of the event went smoothly. Overall, everyone had a chance to eat delicious food provided by Slow Food and several house fellows while enjoying the performances of acapella groups and a jazz combo. Also, I’m happy to announce that we were able to raise more money than was expected for the Reforestation Initiative!
The Zero Waste aspect of the event was also a success! The majority of the materials used for the event were either
recyclable, reusable, or compostable. Only a minimum amount of trash had to be thrown away at the end of the event.
This was a great learning experience for the Greens since we don’t normally organize dinner party fundraisers.
We look forward to our next collaboration with VHP in the future!
