• creative living How to run a successful Mother’s Day stall Mother’s Day is a day for celebrating and honouring mothers and their vital contribution to families and society and a Mother’s Day stall is a great way to raise funds by providing affordable gifts for children to purchase for their mums. The Mother’s Day stall is a staple at some schools, but for others it can be a bit of a burden because parents can be too busy to create gifts for donation. However, with a little planning it’s possible to set up, stock and run a stall that offers quality gifts without straining your team. Busy P&C committees can easily set up a stall using one of three approaches; they can create their own gifts, purchase gift products from suppliers, or use a combination of the two. If the decision is to create your own gifts for the stall, then a straightforward approach involves the committee organising a tea-party style event or workshop for parents to attend where they can help to create a range of handmade craft gifts for the stall. To get this up and running, the committee simply needs to decide on what gifts to create, then estimate the amount of raw materials required. At this point one person is tasked with sourcing the raw materials and another sets up the workshop and sends out invitations to parents. However, if resources are scarce, then the other option is to get in contact with the wide range of small businesses that offer a range of affordable products to replace the handmade gifts parents used to supply. All the organiser then needs to do is decide on what products to offer and estimate the quantity to order. Here are five tips to get the most out of your Mother’s Day stall; • Order your stock so it arrives at least a week ahead of schedule, preferably two. Be careful not to over order, as many places will not accept returns. • Promote the day well ahead of time – get up at assembly, send a note home and also put it in the newsletter. • Think about holding the stall at lunchtime, but consider bringing the littlies down earlier during class time to avoid the stampede. • Get the older kids to hold a giftwrapping stall, then donate the proceeds to a charity (or add it to your fundraising total). Go to a florist or gift wholesaler to purchase bulk quantities of wrapping paper. You may wish to offer free gift-wrapping, but ask for a donation of, say, 50 cents. • Set up a stall with gifts ranging in price from $2 to $10. Each class will be given a chance to visit the stall throughout the day. A number of parents will be serving on the stall so they can help the younger children through the ‘money’ dilemma. When it’s all over, prepare a report card on the activity, so you can have a better idea of how to run it next year. This will be particularly important with gift quantities. The Fundraising Directory has a free report card template that will make your handover much easier.
