This document discusses wedding planning. It defines wedding planning as organizing a wedding ceremony and reception for a couple. A wedding planner is a professional that assists with planning and designing the wedding events. Good qualities for a wedding planner include having a sense of style, knowledge of customs, managing budgets, and coordinating the event flow. Hiring a wedding planner reduces stress for couples by taking control of the planning and ensuring everything runs smoothly on budget and according to the couple's vision.
This strategic plan outlines goals and initiatives for a skilled nursing facility to address challenges from an aging population, increased use of home and community-based services, and competition from another local facility. The plan aims to increase average census by 10% within a year through improved marketing, customer service, and community involvement. It also sets goals to boost respite admissions, create a secure memory care unit, and establish private rooms to diversify services and attract more residents amid a shifting long-term care landscape.
The survey results from the 2nd Birthday Event held on 15 September 2010 were overwhelmingly positive. 55 people responded and 100% said they enjoyed the event and that it was well organized with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Suggested topics for future events included how to get organizations to value social media, using sites like eBay and Groupon to raise funds, learning from other sectors, tools for monitoring campaign reach and impact, and using geo-location technology. Most respondents wanted to attend another event, with future events held regularly.

The document discusses individual stewardship plans for donors, outlining key components such as who will manage the donor's portfolio, how communication will be delivered, basic donor information, and return on investment of stewardship efforts. It recommends surveying donors to understand their preferences, maintaining a giving history and event information, and including important dates and names. Effective stewardship requires creating an invisible system, focusing on good content, setting goals and time limits, and ensuring seamless delivery that under-promises and over-delivers.
Since April 12-18 is National Volunteer Week, we would like to have a discussion on ways we can informally recognize our volunteers for all that they do.
Every year, thousands of nonprofit organizations take advantage of National Volunteer Week, and all the enhanced publicity that comes with it, to host lunches, dinners, teas, ice cream socials, etc., etc. in honor of their volunteers. Unfortunately, for many organizations, the idea of volunteer recognition starts and stops with these formal events.
By combining both formal and informal methods of recognition, an organization can create a “culture of appreciation” in which both volunteers and paid staff feel respected and valued for their contributions, and have a deeper sense of connection to the organization and its mission. This results in increased retention, improved quality of work and, ultimately, a more pleasant work environment for both volunteers and employees.
This guide looks at the art of informal volunteer recognition and explores a multitude of ways to create a culture of appreciation that can boost the morale of volunteers and paid staff.

Family days are a great event.
What is a Family Day
Planning Basics
Ideas
Before we delve deeper into today’s topic I want to know more about you!
POLL:
What is your role?
FRG volunteer
Staff Member
Service Member
Other
POLL:
What is your affiliation?
Army National Guard
Air National Guard
Army Reserve
Active Duty
Other?
There is no right or wrong type of family day for a unit. There are some things to remember though:
The FRG is the commander’s program.
It is the commander who should provide some guidance and determines the type of event.
The commander should approve any plans.
Family days can accomplish a number of goals
Allow the commander to get to know the families
Allow the unit to show the families what it is they do
Allow the families and unit members to connect
Provide key information to the unit and families about upcoming unit events
Provide key information to the unit and families about benefits, entitlements and resources
A great way to have fun!
Poll – when was your last family day
1 to 6 months
6 months to a year
1 to 2 years
Family day? What’s that?!?)
I would like to know what types of family days you have most enjoyed and why. Please share.
Facilitator will discuss types of family days they have attended and what they like about them.
Planning a good family day can be challenging. One of the most important things to remember is that the program belongs to the commander and you need to get their input before you start. You can present ideas to them, but ultimately it is their program and they need to determine what type of event will work for them and for the unit.
So you have volunteered to organize a family day or at least help out. What now? The first step is to meet with the commander and get some guidance.
Why are you having the event?
Where will you hold the event?
When will you hold the event?
Who will attend?
What will you do?
And I’m throwing an extra W in there – WHO will you call upon to assist? This is probably the most important one.
The commander may only care about #1, or they may have quite a bit of input.
I’m going to start with my extra W right now, because you need a TEAM to plan a good family day!
6. WHO will you call upon to assist?
Think of having representation of the various demographics in your unit and FRG
Single soldiers
Married
Families
Ranks
Retirees
Community support
Perhaps have representatives from the unit, family members to include parents of the single unit members and teens.
As you organize, you need to assign roles and follow up – be sure to create SMART goals:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time Sensitive
Identify 3 possible locations with the costs, capabilities and available dates by <a specific date>
So you have your team together, the first think they need to know the commander’s intent.
Why are you having the event?
Does the commander have a special reason?
Is there a change of command or impending deployment?
Are there promotions to celebrate?
Is it a way for the commander to get to know the families?
Does the command want to show off its capabilities?
Share this guidance with the team. Help get them on board. Knowing the purpose can guide you as you begin the planning process.
Once you have the commander’s guidance you can begin to plan.
2. Where will you hold the event?
Ask participants to share where you have held family days:
Poll:
Unit or military base
Park or recreational facility
Restaurant
Meeting Hall (VFW, K of C, lodge, etc)
Sporting Event
Ask participants for other locations
Possible Answers
Museum
Commander or another leader’s home
Bouncy Playground
Factors to consider:
Cost – will there be a charge to use the facility?
Location – how far from the unit? How will people get there?
Logistics – Timing, getting supplies to and from, etc. When can you set up?
Capacity – will it be big enough? Can the venue hold the activities you are planning?
Facilities – what do they have and what will you need to bring? Will the facilities accommodate special needs family members? How about restrooms? If it is an outdoor space, is there a shelter and access to water?
What will you need to bring – Tents/shelters? Supplies?
3. When will you hold the event?
Will it be on a drill weekend?
Saturday or Sunday?
During Annual Training?
Lunch or dinner?
How long?
When is your venue available?
If it is outdoors and it rains do you have an alternate location or date?
4. Who will attend?
Will this be unit members and their spouses? Children? Parents?
Will you invite former unit members?
Retirees?
Gold Star families?
Supporting organizations?
Are there special arrangements to be made to accommodate anyone with special needs?
If you are holding it on a military installation do you need to provide the gate guards with a list of guests?
5. What will you do?
Games
Sports like kick-ball, soft ball, ultimate Frisbee
Competition like 3-legged races and other games
Activities
Attend a special event like a ball game
Visit a museum or monument
Food
Pot luck (will it be allowed per guidelines)
Cooking (do they have the proper training on safe food handling)
Catering (will the caterer have to be approved)
Separate children’s area?
Fund raising
Dunking booth
Pie in the face
Auction
Opportunity drawing
??
Educational opportunities
What does your unit do? Show off equipment.
Information fair
Let’s talk information fair – an information fair provides service members and their families information about various organizations that can provide support.
Who have you invited to your unit
Pull out your handout

As you are organizing this event be sure to consider how it will be paid for.
How much is affordable per person?
Will the rates be based on rank?
Will you charge less for children or have a maximum per family?
Will guests need to pay or will the commander cover them or will this cost be incorporated into the amount charged?
Can you obtain MWR funds from a local installation (talk to the MWR business manger)
If using FRG funds BE SURE TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW REGULATIONS! Check with your state. There are regulations!!
Is there anything that we missed?
Thank you for joining us for the final session of this two-part Everyone Ready webinar: New Approaches to Volunteer Recruitment!
Family days are a great event. Putting an event together does take work.
What is a Family Day – remember it is a Commander’s event. Be sure you know what it is he or she wishes for this event.
Planning Basics – be sure you represent all the members of your unit as you plan (single, couples, families), include a team of volunteers
