Thanks for "Raisin" All Those Funds

I took a small box of raisins, attached a strip of magnetic tape to the back and attached a small note saying "Thanks for raisin all those funds" This was given out to our MS Super Cities Walk committee to put on their refrigerators or filing cabinets at work.

Here are a few other versions of this idea:

• We gave our county board officials bags of mixed nuts. A note was attached stating, "We would go 'nuts' without your support!" This was a great, but simple, recognition for volunteers.
• We used "Yankee" votive candles for National Volunteer Week. We wrapped them in cellophane and tied them with a note stating ,"You light up the lives of so many!" We also used notes stating, "You lighten our load by volunteering." Our 4-H Leaders loved the candles!
