My alumnae club did something at a meeting that might work at a philanthropy recruitment event because it was simple, required no talent and it was easy to talk the whole time we did it. We contacted the local diabetes association office to see what we could do to help and they had boxes and boxes of papers, envelopes and labels for a mass mailing that they needed done. We sat in a small circle and stuffed envelopes while chatting incessantly and had like 400 of them done before we were done talking. I don't know if PNMs expect something more elaborate or crafty, but it was definitely helpful to the organization and allowed for us to talk the whole time with no mess to worry about either. You could split it up into as many parties as you needed, so that there were equal amounts to get done for each party and if you finished all of them that were allotted for that party, then you could just keep chatting and rotating for the rest of the time.
