09. What Next?

You survived your first block party, so what do you do next? The following things can be done to wrap up your block party and make the next one even more of a success:

Thank everyone involved – it will make them, and you, feel like a million dollars.

Create a party archive – you can store the relevant information regarding your block party in a binder (or in a box) so that when you need to reference it again it is readily available.

Take time to relax – Go to the park with your kids, enjoy a dinner with your neighbours, or sit on your porch with a good book and simply get lost.

By allotting time for efficient and effective wrapping up at the end of the day, you’ll find that down the road you’ll spend less time asking questions and more time partying.
