VALENTINE CONTEST This is a very simple contest. The object of it is to get as many valentines as possible. (we used little red heart stickers) We took a piece of poster paper and put our members names on it. If they came and stayed through the meeting, they received one heart and if they had a loss, they received another heart. If they collected at least 10 hearts, they received a dollar. The member with the most hearts received a prize. SHAMROCK CONTEST We took 50 sticker shamrocks and put them on a piece of poster paper and numbered them 1 to 50. We didn't tell anyone what we were going to do. Each week a member could sign a shamrock if they lost. At the end of the contest, members receive a monetary amount equal to the number of the shamrock they earned. Example, if they won shamrock #50, they would receive 50 cents.
THANKSGIVING CONTEST Members divide into 2 teams. Each team has a poster of a turkey with 6 feathers on it. Each week the members may earn points for their turkey by doing various things. They report to a team captain who totals the points up and puts it on one of the feathers. At the end of 6 weeks, the team with the most points wins.
