St. Patrick's Day Resident Events

March 17th is coming quickly, but it's not too late to plan a St. Patrick's Day resident events. Resident events can play a crucial role in your overall plan to serve your residential community. Showing tenants you care and value their presence in your community will encourage them to renew when their lease term ends.

Resident events do not just benefit your residents by creating an enjoyable evening. It also builds a community within your property and establishes relationships among residents and board members.

Holidays make the perfect backdrop for a fun themed event. Still, the festivities can get complicated during major holidays. This fact especially applies to board members that have to account for resident travel schedules. In addition to that, navigate denominational differences among residents when attempting to throw a party around a religious holiday. Using a joyous holiday like St. Patrick's Day can avoid those hurdles, but still provide a fun and workable theme.

Focus on the Greenery

Celebrate by revitalizing your landscape for Spring's arrival. Plant new flowers, clean up any litter that may be lingering and prune the shrubs and bushes around the homes. Encourage your residents to enjoy the greenery! Another great idea is to host a nature walk or picnic, pending the weather cooperates. 

Lucky Charms Raffle

Residents can test out their luck by winning a resident raffle. Winners will receive small prizes like a pot o' gold chocolates, or large prizes like the prime parking spot for a week. Whatever the award is, be sure to advertise for the event and get as many residents involved as possible. 

Leprechaun Snacks

Invite residents to a pot-luck! Fill a table with delicious snacks and let your residents indulge and invite others to bring snacks. These could include shamrock cupcakes or a rainbow of veggies that will be enjoyed by the health-conscious.

Good Luck Movie Bash

Host a movie night with any movie featuring Ireland, luck, or green! Serve a green specialty drink to make the event memorable, and pass out leprechaun coloring sheets to any kids.

Whatever you may choose to do this St. Patrick's Day, be sure that your tenants know that you feel lucky to have them as residents.
