I have been to a few but haven't but together one. The one at our church starts with a prayer (you could start with a thank you poem) and then the church staff perform a funny song and dance ( a priest in a hulla skirt is worth it!) --you cold have the children sing a nice little song. The staff serve us lunch (you could do this with a lunch or desert if it's a short program after school. Then after lunch, names are drawn for volunteer of the month. Twelve names are drawn and you get to park in a special spot for the entire month that your name was drawn for. A HUGE it and much todo if the youth minster's wife name is picked!! HAHAHA! After that a small gift is given to everyone with desert and a final pray is said.
Obviously you can change much of it but the entire event is about hour and half with 30 min given to everyone eating and sharing.
I am in charge of this year's volunteer dinner. I need help with the program. Can anyone give me suggestions on what they have done in the past at their volunteer dinners or lunches?
