Thinking about hosting an event to celebrate Family Day this year, but not sure where to start? Maybe you’ve already completed and submitted your Family Day event RFP, and now you’re looking for some fresh ideas for activities, recipes, or other resources to make sure your event is as successful as possible. Or perhaps you’re confident you have the event planning under control, and now you just need to get the word out.
Denver RAP has you covered.
Just check out the shiny new Denver Family Day Facebook page. It’s a clearinghouse of information, advice, links, and other resources designed to help ensure the success of your Family Day event in the short term, and to build a community dedicated to promoting Family Day, family dinners, and healthy families in the long run.
Don’t be shy.
The Denver Family Day Facebook page is a community building tool, intended to build relationships, help you share information, and connect you with other groups working to promote family dinners as an effective tool for engaged parenting.
One of our primary goals is to help you promote your event. So feel free to post photos, updates on your event prep, announce speakers or presenters, let everyone know when and where your event is being held, and any other information you’d like to share to make sure your event is a success.
