One of the most unique volunteer recognition events I attended was "Court Capers". Volunteers were arrested for "giving freely of their time, talents, and treasures." The invitation was a warrant for their arrest, the event took place in a court room. There was a judge, a jury (of staff), a police officer (with a wonderful voice who sang a personalized song to the tune of "Thanks for the memories") and a baliff who sang "Here come the judge - Here come the judge". There were a few outstanding volunteers who were asked to stand and the volunteer coordinator (in the witness stand) would state how they were guilty of the crime. The jury then voted "guilty" and the judge sentenced them to a free dinner with door prizes. (The banquet room was right next door decorated with police hats, badges, etc. on the tables.) It was very different but very comical and enjoyable.
