Anyone ever tried handing out candy to use for recruitment at a Christmas Parade or to get people to give a gift to Relay instead of buying a gift?

Does anyone have any printed material they share with new committee members? We're looking to create an orientation guide that we can hand to anyone interested in serving on the committee, and new people that might not be as familiar with relay. If anyone is willing to share, we would appreciate it.

Thanks.

this will be my first year to help. :) they asked me to be a Team captian but i have not got the info on it yet . so not sure what all they do. LOL maybe someone here can tell me. thanks

Does anyone know if/when there will be a Relay Summit for California? I am a "newbee" Chairman of the Luminaria Committee and would love to learn as much as possible. This will also be my 3rd year as Team Captain and Participant!

Thanks!

Has anyone ever used craigslist, or similar sites, to recruit new committee members?  If so, how was the response?

Hey Michelle,

 Here is the Leadership Development Breakout Requests.  The pictures of the leaders of the last 25 years should be printed as posters, 2' x 3'.  The name plates that go underneath the pictures should be printed as follows:

Leaders Name

Leaders Position

Major Leadership Accomplishment

This information is attached as Word Document along with the Leadership Quotes that they want printed as 3' x 2' posters.

Michelle,

Attached are the Pictures that the Staff Breakout presenters would like enlarged based on the specified dimensions in the Master Spreadsheet.  The "Image" pictures are the flower pictures for an Icebreaker and should be 8.5" x 11", laminated.  The "Surveys" are for the walls and should be poster size, 2' x 3'.

Hey Everyone,

I am Candice and this is my first time being a Chair for the RFL. I have 98 days till the DAY!! We only have 38 participants online and I dont even have a full committee. I just took on this role a month ago bc the person who was supposed to be chair just kinda disappeared. I know this event is sooooo important to so many ppl and they look forward to this happening annually. Especially when some know they may not make it to the next one. I just want this to be a success but for some reason I am having a hard time lighting that fire under everyones butt. Any ideas to get everyone more involved? We had 65 teams last year and raised around $220,000 as a small town. So I would like to be at least that. Of course my goals are higher but at this rate I will be happy if we are just as good or close. Any advice? I am pretty much doing everything on my own. HELP. Also, Orgnaization and templetes will help. Pretty much wont turn down anything. Thank you so much for your time!!!

Just wondering if anyone has a template or something that they use for their Committee Roster.  I am charing a new event this year and getting all of the organizational pieces ready so in July/August we are ready to kick start Relay 2009!  

 

Thanks!

Nick Kissel

Hi!  My staff partner has come up with a great idea to have the current committee nominate committee members for certain positions.  Has anyone tried this in the past and how have you have found the best way to reach success is to do this?
