1. Have members commit to DCON from the very beginning of the year by having them pay monthly installments that splits the cost into manageable quantities
2. Devise a tier system to encourage members to volunteer as well as go to DCON. When each tier is reached, $10 will be subtracted from the DCON cost.
3. Create a DCON committee in charge of promoting and preparing your club for DCON. If your club is too small to have a committee, appoint an experienced member as the club’s DCON chair.
4. Establish a service-hours and fundraiser participation quota for eligibility to attend DCON and Fall Rally. This will enable more active members and raise money toward lowering the cost for DCON.

G N I S I A R D N U F TIPS & IDEAS
RECYCLING: ANNOUNCE TO YOUR CLUB MEMBERS, SCHOOL, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS THAT YOU ARE COLLECTING BOTTLES AND CANS. RECYCLE THEM AND COLLECT MONEY! BAKE SALE: MAKE/BUY BAKED GOODS AND GO TO YOUR LOCAL MARKET (OR IF ALLOWED, YOUR SCHOOL) AND SELL THEM! BUTTONS: CREATE FUN BUTTONS TO SELL! CANDY: PURCHASE AND SELL CANDY AT YOUR SCHOOL.

DANCE: HOST A LOCAL DANCE AND CHARGE ADMISSION. FINALS SURVIVAL KITS: CREATE AND SELL KITS THAT INCLUDE VARYING ITEMS TO CHEER SOMEONE UP DURING STRESSFUL TESTING WEEKS/ FINALS WEEK. YARD SALE: COLLECT ITEMS FROM KIWANIANS, MEMBERS, FAMILY, AND ANYONE AVAILABLE TO SELL AT A YARD SALE! HAIRY LEG CONTEST: HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF CONTESTANTS’ LEGS AND FASTEN TO A JAR. VOTING WILL COST 25 CENTS (OR HOWEVER MUCH YOU CHOOSE) AND THE WINNER RECEIVES A SMALL PRIZE FOR HAVING HAIRY LEGS. PROCEEDS WILL GO TO LOWERING DCON COSTS. SPORTING EVENT/ COMPETITION: ORGANIZE A SPORTING EVENT BETWEEN YOUR OWN CLUB’S MEMBERS, CNH AND CNH KIWIN’S MEMBERS, OR KIWANIS AND CNH KIWIN’S. CHARGE ADMISSION TO PARTICIPATE! AWAKE-A-THON: HOST AN OVERNIGHT EVENT AND CHARGE ADMISSION. PLAY GAMES AND ICE-BREAKERS. CHARGE MEMBERS WHO FALL ASLEEP. MOVIE PARTY: HOST A MOVIE SHOWING AND CHARGE FOR ADMISSION/ SELL SNACKS.
