Do-It-Yourself Fundraiser Of The Month

Singing Christmas Card: Similar to a singing telegram, this fund raiser is easy because everyone can sing Christmas carols. Form singing teams of three or more, and assign each team a particular night to deliver singing cards. For each team, designate a captain who'll be the spokesperson when the team arrives to sing for customers. Have them dress in unique costumes and take along Christmas cookies to hand out. Advertise your service to your community and your members.

  Officer Kris Kringle, Inc. in Jacksonville, Florida, provides underprivileged children who are either very ill, homeless, or victims of violent crimes, with a Christmas that they might otherwise not enjoy. The children make a small wish list indicating what they would like for Christmas. Officer Kris Kringle, Inc. makes one of these wishes come true. The toys are delivered to the children by uniformed police officers. In addition to making a Christmas wish come true, this program also encourages a positive attitude between the community and law enforcement officers. It shows the children that police officers do care.

Interesting or Fun Facts

Yahtzee was invented by a wealthy Canadian couple to play aboard their yacht. Whenever friends were invited aboard, they were taught how to play the "Yacht" game. Their friends enjoyed the game so much that they all wanted copies of their own. Now there's a life crisis! How to supply your yachting friends with this game? In 1956, the couple approached Mr. Edwin S. Lowe, the made who made a fortune selling Bingo games in the 1920's. They asked him to make up a few samples of the game for gifts. Lowe liked the game so much that he offered to buy the rights. They agreed to sell the rights for the price of the first 1,000 games produced so they could fulfill their friends requests. Well, not every decision is the smart one. Today, more than 50 million Yahtzee games are sold annually. [Source: The Fifties Web]
