For our annual Cheers for Volunteers Dinner, our theme was "Our WONDERful Volunteers." We turned our multi-purpose room in the museum into a winter wonderland filled with fake snow, icicle displays, a snowman and other holiday-themed decor. We had a photographer on site that took pictures of each of the volunteers and placed them in a keepsake frame with our logo as their special gift. I had snowglobes with an image of the museum inside created and we contacted a number of local businesses for gift donations like gift cards, mugs, tickets, etc. We even received items from the local sports teams to use as giveaways. Finally, I had a chocolatier make chocolate-covered apples for each volunteer and they also received a personalized, dated Christmas ornament. Starting early with the planning allowed me to get several items donated which made me come about 25% under budget. I have already started for this year's event.
