What I Can Share with Hosts

I really work on being a courteous guest and participating with hosts as much as I/they want me to. If hosts like cooking, getting drinks, generally hanging out with guests, I am all for it! If hosts are busy and mostly prefer to keep to themselves, I will keep everything nice and tidy and try not to be an inconvenience!
