The food is great and the parents who organize it get to know many parents they wouldn't have had the chance to meet. The field trip to the farm is a real treat. Our parents organized a recipe swap as well. This program is fantastic! The food is great and the parents who organize it get to know many parents they wouldn’t have had the chance to meet.

This type of motivation will bring in more dollars and volunteering to your cause. Don't you think it would be great if the new volunteer received a small token of appreciation as well? We'd love to hear more - keep us posted! Betsy – we love that your organization made bringing in new volunteers fun and positive!

We are always looking for new recruits to our planning committee. I agree that making the face to face ask is very important. I am a food chair, possibly the toughest position to recruit volunteers. This year we have a contest going on. Every Committee member that brings a new volunteer, gets 2 extra raffle tickets which get entered into a drawing for a really nice prize. We will see if we get some more committee volunteers. Our Relay for Am Cancer Society is the 2nd largest in Ca. and can be intimidating.
