Hi all,
I spoke with Mr. Okonski of the DuBois Lions the other day and he
proposed something for our Dining in the Dark. How about using their Sky
Lodge for a catered meal? He said he would present the idea to the Lions
group at their meeting and I'll have to check back and see what they've
decided but he was certain they would have no problem with it. He knows
a caterer that they use who might give us a good deal, but that caterer
is out of town and won't be back until sometime in April. We could sell
tickets directly by our membership and the Lions membership and we could
check around with some other groups that might help sell tickets. We
might be able to sell tickets through the Chamber of Commerce also.
Could books of tickets be placed at some area businesses? If we go this
route, we'll have to decide on either a menu or let the caterer put some
things together for a mystery meal? We would have to allow the diners to
state certain preferences and allergies, but a mystery meal would offer
even more of a challenge and much more fun.
I was wondering if this would give us an opportunity to try some outdoor
games? Imagine blindfolded wheelbarrow races with the rider not
blindfolded and directing the driver. How about blindfolded three-legged
races with guides at the finish line yelling out directions? We could
use some good indoor and table game ideas too. Blindfolded tug-of-war,
relay races and whatever. We could have children's games too such as
feeling through sawdust for small prizes, and of course, pin the tail on
the donkey and whatever else comes to mind for blindfolded games. We
could easily make this an all day affair for all participants; show up
when you can, leave when you have to. If you don't have a ticket to eat,
you can still join in the fun!
Would this be workable for a public fun event, or would there be too
much of a chance of serious injuries with some of the games I mentioned?
What other ideas can you guys come up with for the Saturday meeting?
Does anyone have a bocce ball game or something similar? What all could
we adapt for games?
We would need door prizes, game prizes and we could even hold a sale or
an auction. You all could present some of your favorite accessible aids
and we could even have speeches about issues by anyone who wanted to
grab the soapbox.
Membership drive anyone?
