Agenda

• Entertainment Update!

• Survivorship

• Lumenaria Reminder

• Recruiting Team Members

• Fundraising Tips– “How To…” Write an e-mail from ACS

Entertainment Update

• If you have a survivor on your team or know one who is coming, please bring them a survivor basket to give them at the end of their survivor lap. It’s super easy too- just ask each person on your team to donate an item/a pair of people to donate an item if you have a larger team!

• Some ideas include but certainly aren’t limited to!:

•Spa : lotions, soaps, all that yummy smelling stuff from Bath and Body, fluffy towels, face mask gunk, candles, the works

•Chocolate: it’s pretty self explanatory, and there’s a fudge shop across from Diddy.

•Movie Night in a Box: Include something like movie vouchers, a recent release, or a gift card to Best Buy to let them pick out a movie of their own. Throw in a few bags of microwave popcorn, some Red Vines, a couple cans of soda, whatever you think is necessary to complete the movie experience. Make the “basket” a popcorn bowl for brownie points

•Book: a gift card to Barnes and Noble/Borders/Amazon.com, throw in any applicable Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein for a trip back to their childhood,

•Gardening: seeds, those little garden utensils, a decorated plastic pot, watering can, bamboo for luck, a foam knee pad

•Beach: Just make sure you put in a bottle of sunscreen!!! Beach towel, visor, silly magazine to flip through, bottled water, all wrapped up in a plastic beach pail

•Sports: We are the home of the Bruin Basketball team. Enough said?

•Cookies: How many different cookie recipes do you know?

•Coffee: A mug, a Starbucks/Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf gift certificate, flavored cream or sweetener, some coffee beans. And hot chocolate or tea for when they’re already on caffeine overload!

tips– Attend your floor government meeting and ask people to sign up– Door-knock on your floor with your computer– Announce Relay at your club meeting and have your computer

ready to sign people up after meeting– Post flyers everywhere– Create a Facebook group and invite your friends!– Set a deadline with an incentive (if you want team shirts, you

must sign up by ____!)– Get people excited and reward them for signing up!

Fundraising tips!

• Ideas for Teams– Hold a bake sale or other small

fundraising event on campus or in your dorm

– Ask alumni of your organization to donate to your team

donations to all your Facebook friends (be sure to include the link to your page!)
