This may sound crazy but this is the first of the many ideas I have to increase fellowship at church! Let me know what you think, if you can volunteer or donate . This event is important to elders, even you!
Senior Prom
The idea of prom when entering the mind brings back a lot of good memories for many of us. The time of fun, friends and freedom.The day of being a child are over and being an adult is at hand. One night can be lived out to last the whole night till morning. Waking to finals and a winding road of work, work, work. Also for many others, prom was just a dance. One way or another prom just never happed for us, and life begian early. The good ol' days were over.
Well thats all changed.
The Past has Just Began
Not just the theme, the past is the lifting point to the future. Old School Style the gym will be decorated to the 1950 style of senior proms, thats right a senior prom, for people 45 or older (chapperones can be youth). With balloons, streamers, stars, and any 50' decore (found or donated). A classic dance off lasting the night, until the king and queen are announced, a DJ is scheduled to be apart. Chapperones will be volunteers, used through-out the night. Brought together with prom photo booth and a podium for presenting "king and queen".
Plans for food, will hopefully be donated from a grocier or by the flock.
Look for advertising on the web, markets, restaurant, book/music stores, librays, care facilitys and possibly channel 4 News.
Prom Rundown
Prom begins: Guest arrive trough the gym. $3 per person, $5 a couple. Each guest /couple recieving a raffle ticket.
(each ticket is registration for the dance off or Bingo)
With the DJ playing 50' top hits, the guest will mingle and enjoy the food. About an hour into event the DJ will announce the Dance off beginning. At this time the guest with the tickets will groove the night away. Chapperones will be at hand to provide the dancers with liquid refreshments for fuel. For the guest not particapating in the dance off may take part in the many other features of our prom. Guest will have a "Prom Picture" taken( photoghrapher is still needed) at the beginning of the prom. Depending on time needed, photos me be presented at prom or mailed. (with different color raffle ticket ) A feature for the non-dancers will be BINGO .
BINGO will be held in the Bistro (room 2-3). With about 4-5 volunteers, the guest will these raffle tickets will be playng for small door prizes. The Bistro will have beverages only.
As the prom closes down the dancers will be eliminated and a "KING and QUEEN" will be crowned and recieve a door prize.
Prom Ends: As guest leave volunteers for the cleanup will begin to orginize and prepare. Clean up can be simple but the toughest lets have team work to close the night at its best. If all goes to plan this could be a 3-5 hour event.

So for some this may be boring but between my famly and church fellowship my life is well blessed.
