Hi,
Ive tried looking on the internet for other Ladies Auxiliary forums but cant seem to find any so Im hoping that maybe there are still a few people that still read this forum.
Im looking for some ideas for attracting new members to the auxiliary.I think the few that we have are starting to lose interest because there hasnt been anyone other than the treasurer coming to meetings in the past couple months.
Also, what are some things others have done as fundraisers? Im not sure of the exact details, but something about our station being owned by the boro, we cant have alcohol or gambling in the firehall. (the men have their own private room where they can have a beer, but it must stay IN the room). The last time we had a few members at a meeting I had suggested a dance, however the others at the meeting said nobody would come because you cant have alcohol. I would at least like to try because maybe theres people who dont HAVE to drink to have a good time or that want to bring their whole family.
Anyways, to my question.....has anyone had any event that DIDNT have booze? Did it work out and have decent attendance?
I was also thinking of having a bake sale at the fire hall either around now (thanksgiving.....pumpkin pies, etc) or later on at Easter.....decorated easter cakes. Has anyone ever done anything like that?
Thanks.
