Hi all
I posted this and I did get a reply, still looking for ideas...I was thinking of going with the Oh the Places You will Go theme and call it "Going Places" it revolves around the trip and moving forward with your biz....any other thoughts?

"Oh the Places You will go" - it's Dr. Seuss....maybe start there. Teacher-stores have stuff with Dr. Seuss. Or....decorate your house with various themes of past trips- like Disney stuff here, Tropical-theme there, European bistro food, etc.
 
I thought I posted in the other thread, but maybe it didn't stick...

I like the Dr. Seuss idea! You could also ask everyone to dress based on their guess of the new incentive trip.
 
I like the idea of having them dress based on their guess or desire of the destination!
 
I love this theme. When my son "graduated" from second grade (the school was K-2) the principle read this book to the class and then I went out and bought it. I think I'll read it (or parts of it) as part of my meeting.
