MORE PROGRAM IDEAS:

Should all programs of interest to retain members and attract new members.

Programs should be appealing to all ages; one group had 2 program chairs - 1 older / 1 younger.

Consider joint meetings ( east and west side chapters; other sororities, guest nights, include children and grandchildren for some programs where you need more people.

Some meetings might be only social with no business meeting or business concerns on a printed hand-out to be read later.

In one group, a survey of younger members revealed that they liked to do service projects as programs.

Programs on personal aspects have been successful as well as hands-on activities, philanthropy or projects.

One group had a different person in charge of each meeting.  (Responsible for planning speaker, refreshments, and order.)

Read newspapers and programs from other groups for program ideas, all members could be on the look-out for programs they enjoyed in other groups.

SPECIFIC IDEAS:

Girl's Night Out: dinner in the Flats or restaurant; brewery, sporting event, play.

Seasonal projects; bring materials in and prepare at meeting. i.e. stocking stuffers to prepare Christmas stockings for a nursing home at Christmas; prepare an Easter basket.

Christmas meeting with hors d'oeuvres (one group had people bring 10 copies of their recipe so people could take one if they wished);  might be a good one for guest night for husbands and significant others.

Make Christmas gifts for a nursing home.

Decorate T-shirts with iron-ons and fabric paints for children's hospital.
