How to Obtain Your "Goodies"


• Check with the ladies and families within your church. Do you have an Avon lady? Someone that sells cosmetics? Someone that works at a local bank, etc. that would have samples, or novelties such as magnets, key chains, or something to add?
  
• Check with local restaurants for courtesy cards such as for free fries, etc.
  
• Check with your local Christian bookstore. Sometimes they will donate novelty items.
  
• If you are having ladies from out of town make sure you work with your local city visitor bureau (may be through your Chamber of Commerce). They may have maps for you, hotel accommodation discounts, etc.
  
• Make sure you go through proper channels. Only speak with management< or owners.
  
• Remember, always look and act professional when approaching anyone or business concerning your event. Some business' ask for a written request on your church letterhead.
• Dollar stores are great places to find those unexpected "goodies".
