I have a Fundraiser for the Lions Club tonight. I told the woman I was just going to bring the bare minimum for products and she was fine with that because it is at the regular meeting at a restaurant. They are feeding me too! LONDON BROIL!

My question is WHAT DO I BRING? This is my first fundraiser. There will be about 40 members there who will order and go out and get more orders. I thought a piece from each collection would be good. I am bring the new pizza stone with handles. I thought maybe the appetizer caddy for SA, and the 8" skillets for SS and Executive. I also plan on bring my Tool turnabout filled with tools. Anything else???

She also wants to play a game. What game should I play. I am so not organized for this. HELP! Please?:eek:
 
I like to play Queen of the Shoppers so that they see some of the new or bigger products that I am unable to bring along to shows.

I like to bring the Trivet and maybe a piece of the forged cutlery.

Bumping...Anyone else?? Help please???
 
Maybe your tool turn about with some of the basic tools in it: garlic press, scrapers, food chopper, mix n chop ect just so they can see some of the smaller items without you bringing too much. A couple of your top sellers also might be good.

You could play the left/right game. If they are seated in a large circle you can start a couple items at different spots or if they are at tables, one item per table.
 
Good luck Kristin tonight! I would bring a sampling of our lines.
 
I would bring as many of the new things as you can comfortably set up, along with the old standards: can you put a bunch of stuff in your TTA and bring it? Maybe tie a bow around it gift-style? Don't forget to print some of the awesome gift idea flyers from this site and have them available. Have fun!

I will let you all know how it goes. I am bringing my tool turn about filled with stuff, The new pizza stone with handles, The large bowl with dots, the exec. and SS 8" pans and I will talk about the other stuff from the catalog. I only have 20-25 minutes to talk.
 
My 5 power tools come with me to almost every show:
1. Cookware
2. Stoneware
3. Knives & Cutting Boards
4. Ultimate Mandoline
5. Food Chopper

And I always bring SA and my filled TTA.

Deb-How much cookware do you bring?

I just got home. Tonight was the presentation. The Fundraiser closes on December 11th, so I won't have any new till later.

Thanks for the ideas.
 
I bring both 8" saute pans, unless I need a different piece for the recipe.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What items should I bring for a Lions Club fundraiser event?

For a Lions Club fundraiser, consider bringing items that can be easily sold or auctioned off, such as baked goods, homemade crafts, or donated products from local businesses. Additionally, bring promotional materials about the Lions Club and its mission to inform attendees about the cause.

What types of games can we organize for the fundraiser?

Fun games to consider include a raffle, bingo, or a silent auction. You could also set up a "guess the number of items in a jar" game or a trivia contest related to the Lions Club's work. These games can engage attendees and encourage donations.

How can we incorporate Pampered Chef products into the fundraiser?

You can host a Pampered Chef cooking demonstration where attendees can see the products in action. Offer a portion of the sales to go directly to the Lions Club. Additionally, consider creating gift baskets with Pampered Chef items for auction or raffle prizes.

What should I prepare for the attendees in terms of food and drinks?

Prepare simple, easy-to-eat snacks such as finger foods, cookies, and fruit platters. For drinks, consider offering water, coffee, and lemonade. If you're showcasing Pampered Chef products, include some dishes made with those tools to highlight their functionality.
