Birthday parties, backyard barbeques, block parties, family reunions…summer is filled with parties of every kind. It's the perfect time of year to get outside, cool off with a cold beverage, and enjoy some great summer food. But with all the focus on "going green," the economy downsizing, and many people in need of everyday basics, I think gatherings of any kind are a perfect opportunity to do good for your community and the environment.

Are you passionate about the environment? At your next barbeque, take a few minutes to plant a tree with your guests or give a seedling tree as a party favor for your guests to plant in their yards. Do you volunteer at the local food bank? Ask your family members to bring a canned good or other non-perishable item to donate. Do you have a children's hospital nearby? Ask guests at your child's birthday party to bring pennies to fill up a container to take to the hospital. Does your family volunteer at the homeless shelter? Ask neighbors to bring gently-used clothing to the next block party to help out those less fortunate.

There are many ways you can incorporate "community service" with all your summertime gatherings–and year-round for that matter. This is a great way to keep people focused on needs in the community, teach children to think about others, and to encourage everyone to do a little something–which adds up to a whole lot.

Summer is finally here! School's out and it's time for a vacation! You probably wont get to see your friends much, so what better way to catch up on things and have a good time than by throwing a summer pool party! It's time to do some planning and make a few phone calls.

When it comes to summer, the main thing most teens focus on is going to shop for that perfect swimsuit. With that in mind, what better reason to throw the ultimate summer pool party? Who doesn't think about going to the tropics for a summer vacation getaway? How about creating your own tropical paradise at home!

Decorations- Here comes the most fun part to throwing any party. Being a tropical paradise theme you want to think outside of the box to make this a very memorable summer party. Let's begin with the back yard, since it is a major part of this party. Putting up a couple of inflatable palm trees around the pool area would definitely give the party a more tropical feel. Setting up 2 or 3 picnic tables around the yard could be used for eating, or even to set some exotic tropical centerpieces on top. This party is more than likely to last through the night. A creative, inexpensive idea would be to buy a few mini beach bucket tea light holders. Setting these throughout the pool area or the backyard would definitely lighten up the place. Now for the pool, just throwing in a few beach balls and a few pool rings would do the trick.

Entertainment- To help your guests work up an appetite for delicious tropical party foods, the right party games and activities are necessary. Here are some ideas that might interest you and be fun for your friends too.

Music- Playing reggae music, beach songs, or the songs you know your friends like would be perfect for this tropical party.
Limbo Contest- Who doesn't love to limbo? Having a limbo contest would keep the fun times going.
Beach Games- Some beach games to include could be volleyball or even water fights.

These are all activities your friends are sure to enjoy.

Food- Of course, no party is complete with out a delicious food menu. This being a tropical paradise party, exotic foods is what comes to mind.You could start off by giving an appetizer, some sizzling chicken skewers, this would only get them ready for whats coming next. A very exotic main dish idea would be to cook a pan-grilled salmon with pineapple salsa. How much more exotic can it get! Finally, for dessert cooking up a key lime pie will leave your friends full, but satisfied.

Voila! You have thrown an unforgettable pool party. Your friends had a blast and are sure to be waiting for another one. Be thinking on how to throw your next summer party, and by the looks of it, it's sure to come soon!
