House
Rules
|
| Most
clubs and bars have what they call "House Rules" – ground
rules that people are expected to follow so that everyone at the establishment
has a good time. The prom committee should also have house rules so that
everyone at the party has a good time. Here are some ground rules that have
worked at other proms. Feel free to use them. |
Hosting
Strategies
Hosting a safe and
fun prom or after-grad party doesn’t mean you have to stand on guard
all night! However, someone should be designated to deal with difficult
situations that could arise. Take
these steps to make your job easier...
|
- Hire
police and /or security staff
- Make
sure there are adults available at all times to back you up
- Keep
your eyes open and tell your guests to watch out for each other. If
someone is going to do something stupid or harmful don’t hesitate
to stop him or her before it’s too late.
- Make
sure nobody drives under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Don’t
tolerate rough or risky behaviour; ask your security people to handle
the job if things get rough.
-
Screen guests at the door.If people appear under the influence of alcohol
and drugs, deny them entrance. If you do let them in and they subsequently
get hurt or hurt someone else, you will pay the price.
- Bring
a cell phone and have a first-aid kit handy.
