[Cash-and-Caring] Fund-Raising Ideas?

[David Andrews]

We have talked about chapter fund-raising, here, in the past, of 
course. I am President of an At-Large chapter, so some kinds of 
fund-raisers wouldn't work for us. I am writing to see if anyone has 
any new ideas, or experiences.  We have done the Popin Good popcorn 
fund raiser.  It was fairly successful, mostly from affiliate 
support, not the chapter. The popcorn is expensive, but you get a 
good return for what you sell with few logistics.  The bags are on 
the small side too.

I know Illinois, and others are doing Honey Baked Ham events. I like 
their stuff, but from what I understand you have to buy a gift card, 
which can then be used on-line, or at a retail store. This may be too 
complicated for some.

Any other ideas, thoughts, etc.?  I know there is another popcorn 
fund raiser, I tried the popcorn, which was ok, but I wasn't bowled over.

If there was a magic answer, we would be doing it, I suppose,
