Holiday Bazaar A holiday bazaar open to the public is a great fundraiser. Secure a location, sell
spaces—including concessions area, arrange for setup and take down helpers, decorations and a radio announcement. Local craftsmen count on the same date each year, which seems to ensure a successful turnout. This project has minimal costs to Key Club and is financially beneficial. Singing Christmas Cards Set up a booth at a fall parentteacher conference, sporting events, or after church services to sell "Singing Christmas Cards." People pay a fee to have carolers go to
someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and sing Christmas carols. A card would be given to the recipient with the giverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. Turkey Grams/Ghoul Grams/Bunny Grams For a small fee, sell "grams" during various holidays. These grams can be a card with some candy or something similar. Singing telegrams also can be used for a fun project. Turkey Teacher Competition For teachers who are willing to participate, students bring in money or canned food and place it under the name of their favorite teacher. The teacher with the most money and ounces of food wins. That teacher either wears a turkey costume or carries a stuffed toy turkey all day. He or she also wins a turkey dinner. The canned food and money is donated to the Salvation Army. More ideas can be found on our District website at www.rmdkeyclub.org
