This year, my alumnae chapter is charged with hosting the annual Founders Day luncheon coming up next November. I need help with incorporating some new ideas to help jazz things up a little.
We're expecting about 300 sisters in attendance and the program usually goes like this:
Welcome/remarks
Luncheon
Reports from the two collegiate chapters
Guest speaker
Presentation of service awards
Founders Day ritual
The problem is....these events kind of get boring after a while, you know? To make it worse, many of our alumnae wear "multiple hats" as volunteers and often end up attending more than one Founders Day lunch (for other chapters, the region, etc). There are only so many luncheons one can do in a month.
Can anyone suggest any innovative ideas for how we can keep Founders Day meaningful, but make it more fun or engaging for the guests in attendance?
- Fall fashion show? (collegians and alumnae with donated clothes from local stores)
- Vendors?
- Workshops?
- Some other food format?
- Slide show of collegiate chapter and alumnae chapter activities?
- Show video of clips from members young and old sharing about how GPhiB has impacted their lives?
- A companion activity? (should be something senior sisters can do too)
Any and all ideas are appreciated! Thank you!
