philanthropy day
I am curious about the crafts that you have done for the philanthropy day. What have you done? How well did it work? What stuck out about them when you rushed?
When I rushed it was the first year for the philanthropy project. At one house we made gift baskets for children in hospitals-that was okay.
One house had a really cute craft. We all made ornaments for a Christmass tree for a shelter (homeless or domestic abuse I can't remember). They had a tree set up and we hung them up. It was really neat because you could see what all the rushees before you had done. I was near the last party so it was covered with stuff. It looked pretty.
The last party I went to that day we choose a teddy bear and tied a bow with ribbon around its neck for a sick child. I didn't like that because you could tell that the ribbon was re-used. They were taking the bows off between parties and it was all creased by the end of the day. It made me feel like their philanthropy wasn't as important to them as it was to other chapters.
