In the past, one of our Communities hosted a Bake Sale where each person prepared their favorite dessert and brought it to the scheduled Bake Sale. Each dessert, regardless of size and amount, was priced at $5.00. All proceeds were donated to a current company-wide fundraiser. An idea is to have the children (with the assistance of adults) help run the Cashier Station as well as purchase their favorite baked good. A Holiday Bake Sale can be held at any time of year, but with Valentine's Day right around the corner, this is a great event to start planning for! Also, you can encourage your residents to draw/color a picture with what they "LOVE" about living at your Community; if they bring it to the Bake Sale, they will get... ]]> Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:19:00 -0700 5138 2011-01-12 http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_BakeSale_1294845540.jpg http://www.residentevents.com/children-events/5137-dr-seuss-breakfast http://www.residentevents.com/children-events/5137-dr-seuss-breakfast Host a breakfast featuring none other than green eggs and ham. Also serve the easy make-ahead hash brown casserole. Serve brightly colored juices like; orange, cranberry, and grape juice to carry on the Dr. Seuss theme. Read Dr. Seuss books to the kids that can be checked out from the local library. Download and print activity sheets for the kids. Make a Cat in the Hat hat as a craft idea for the kids. ]]> Tue, 11 Jan 2011 16:32:00 -0700 5137 2011-01-11 http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_drseussgreeneggs_1294763572.jpg http://www.residentevents.com/recurring-resident-events/5136-card-club-apartment-events http://www.residentevents.com/recurring-resident-events/5136-card-club-apartment-events Playing cards has a multi-generational appeal, from Bridge with older residents to Texas Hold ‘Em with younger residents, creating a card club is a fantastic way to involve your residents. And what’s best is that it is a recurring event that needs very little upkeep! First, get the ball rolling by setting up a tournament for whatever type of card game you are setting up. This can be done a few different times for different games, and will likely draw in different demographics depending on the game. For the initial tournament, set up prizes and publicize the tournament heavily. Encourage residents to bring outside guests in order to improve marketing efforts, as well! We can probably do a whole discussion on how to run a card tournament, so for now, I’ll limit the details on that front. But suffice it to... ]]> Thu, 06 Jan 2011 19:32:00 -0700 5136 2011-01-06 5 http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dogspoker_1294342330.jpg http://www.residentevents.com/apartment-community-socials/5135-starbucks-starters http://www.residentevents.com/apartment-community-socials/5135-starbucks-starters Starbuck's Starters Budget Range: Low CARES Teams stand at main gate, passing out free Starbucks to residents on their way out in the morning.  Starbucks has caraffes they sell and supply all the cups, sugars, half and half, stirrers, lids with them.  This is a resident favorite here allowing us to interact with an average of 100 people for about $50! We have a sign that says "FREE STARBUCKS COFFEE," because some people try to pay us!  Set up on a pool area table and as they pass by, they tell us what they'd like in their coffee.  We make it up for them in seconds and off they go!  They love it! ]]> Tue, 04 Jan 2011 17:01:00 -0700 5135 2011-01-04 http://www.residentevents.com/images/stories/jreviews/_starbucks_1294160481.jpg
