Does your group have a great Retreat fundraising idea? Please share it by e-mailing Juli.
The Women's Ministry at New Hope Church (Canton) held a
"Mini Spa Retreat" in mimicking the Women's Retreat spa. We had peppermint foot
massages, manicures, parrafin hand therapy, body massages (done by massage
school students), note card and body scrub crafts, dinner and a silent auction.
It was very successfully attended, a good outreach and we made enough money to
help reduce the price of the Women's Retreat for our ladies.

The Hillsdale WMI has had great success with several bake
sales during peak seasons - Christmas, Easter, etc. - and during their
Scrapbooking event in February. Also, they have set up a booth in the
foyer to catch people as they walk out of service, and this has worked out well
too.
