Porch-to-Park Event Template

Capture a repeatable template for tiny neighborhood events that can start on a porch and scale into a block or park gathering. It connects to rainy-day-third-places-index, community-questions-backlog.

Working moves

• Keep the first event intentionally small with a single host, one shared question, and a visible ending time.
• Write down the artifacts that make reuse easy: flyer copy, host checklist, supply list, and weather backup plan.
• Track which prompts create actual follow-up conversations instead of one-off attendance spikes.

Why it matters

The goal is not to manufacture events endlessly but to preserve the small ingredients that make local trust easier to restart.
