To plan the potluck dinner party for twenty friends to watch the live broadcast of the major sporting event, I took several specific actions. First, I secured the local community hall as the venue, ensuring it was available on the event date. Next, I researched options for viewing the game, ultimately deciding to rent a large projector and screen to create an outdoor viewing experience, as this would accommodate the number of guests and provide a festive atmosphere.

My next steps included reaching out to a local rental company to reserve the projector and screen, as well as confirming the necessary audio equipment to ensure everyone could hear the broadcast clearly. I also created a digital invitation to send to my friends, outlining the potluck theme and encouraging them to bring their favorite dishes to share.

In my decision-making process, I considered the logistics of setting up the projector and screen, including the need for power sources and seating arrangements. I also took into account the weather forecast, planning for a backup indoor space in case of rain. Additionally, I coordinated with a couple of friends who offered to help with setup and cleanup, ensuring that the workload was manageable.

Resources involved included the rental company for the equipment, my friends who contributed food and assistance, and the community hall staff who provided support for the event.

Reflecting on this planning experience, I learned the importance of thorough preparation and flexibility. Having a backup plan for the viewing setup was crucial, and involving friends not only made the event more enjoyable but also fostered a sense of community. Overall, the event was a success, and I gained valuable insights into organizing large gatherings.
