| Having a Costume Birthday Party Other Than at Halloween |
|
Call it a "Masquerade Party" or pick a theme (such as "movies", "plays", or "TV shows") and ask everyone to dress in those costumes. And ask them to make the costumes in as earth-friendly ways as possible - use common products, not store bought, to get across the character. The one who does the best job should get a special "prize" or special recognition! ... View related article. |

| Multicultural Winter Holiday Celebration Ideas |
|
I would think that honoring everyone's traditions would not be offensive to anyone! Contrary to what you may have heard, most Jewish people don't mind if they are wished a "Merry Christmas", and most Christians don't mind hearing about and celebrating other traditions. Diversity is a good thing, so don't be overly sensitive, especially since you're trying to do a good thing by discussing and celebrating diverse customs. Have fun! ... View related article. |

| Ideas for Raising Money |
|
How about conducting "A Mile of Dollars for (name of woman)" one day? Advertise it around town, then have people lined up for a mile. As you and your team goes down the street, each contributor lays down a dollar and the space is marked with chalk with the dollar amount collected so far. When the money is collected at the end of the mile, you'll know how much you have; if the woman in question is up to it, she (or her family) could be at the end of the mile to receive the cash collected. Great support for the family, and a great bonding time for the community. ... View related article. |
