THE BIG HOWDY PARTY
THE BIG HOWDY PARTY
WHAT IS THE BIG HOWDY PARTY?
The Big Howdy Party is the culmination of the Big Howdy Events. This is a large party where all the Christian Organizations working with the international students officially welcome the students. Churches and organizations provide the food. We also have a sort of cultural dance where we try to show them western dancing and they show us their sort. All the Christian organizations are recognized there and relationships are formed. It’s a great opportunity for you and your families to be exposed to people from all over the world. This is the very important event that seals all the festivities! We’d love your help and you will love it too.
YOU CAN MAKE A HUGE IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS' LIFE THROUGH SERVING THEM AT THE BIG HOWDY PARTY!

BUT... HOW CAN I SERVE?
We Need People Who Can:
Provide main dishes, side dishes, desserts, etc. for the over 700 – 1,000 people who will likely come. It is potluck style with each volunteer providing food for 30 – 60 people.
You don’t have to stay but it is strongly encouraged as you get a chance to see a touch of other cultures.
Some food needs to be vegetarian as many of the Hindu Indian students (the majority) are vegetarian. Bring the food to The Bluebonnet Ballroom at the University Center at 5:30 PM.
Of course people from other places like meat. 🙂
Teach western dancing and help with the entertainment.
Hosts/hostesses to greet people. Come around 5:30 PM.
Decoration. Come around 6 PM.
Clean up. Prepare to stay till 9:15 PM.
