During National Volunteer Week we recognized our volunteers by taking them to the movies. We rented out the local movie theatre for an afternoon. We had our recognition awards program before the movie started down front of the theatre. After all the awards were given out we had a 15 minute intermission break. The volunteers were instructed to go to the refreshment counter and they had a bag of popcorn and a drink waiting for them. I also had small bags of chocolate treats for them. The cost for each volunteer was $9.00; much less than providing a banquet for them. They also had their choice of 2 movies. I chose ahead of time a PG and a PG-13.
It was very well received and we will do it again next year.
