This year, after thinking about what I could do special for our volunteers, I decided to do a Carnival Theme. I'm going to have Carnival games with lots of prizes. The volunteers earned the tickets for the games by their volunteer hours last year: beginning with five tickets just for being a volunteer, and then one ticket for every 50 hours of volunteer time. I made little ticket books for each volunteer with their names on them and the appropriate number of tickets in each book. I then coordinated with our Nutrition Services to provide carnival type food at the party. I'm hoping to find a resident clown in our midst to show up unannounced to have more fun with our volunteers. After the food and games, we will present the year awards.
