We have found that it really keeps people going if they know they might get a prize of some sort. Typically, we go to garage sales, flea markets, and clearance aisles throughout the year to look for “cute” things we can give out as prizes.
If you have connections or if your group has the money you might even be able to get some nice gift certificates.
Some of our favorite prizes have been small items that club members have made and donate to the cause.
The items don’t have to be expensive but it’s a small way to say thank you for being here.
