Begin a Chapter Scrapbook
Begin a scrapbook of activities and on-mission projects completed by your chapter this year. Start with the very first chapter meeting. This is a project that some of the RA moms may be interested in coordinating or helping RAs put together. Ideas for your scrapbook include:
-
On the cover, put your RA Chapter name, the year, and the RA logo. Consider also including a photo of your entire group.
-
Include a summary of a routine chapter meeting and chapter meeting pictures and descriptions throughout the year. Always have a camera available in your meeting room (encourage parents to donate disposable cameras and volunteer to have the film developed and returned to you throughout the year).
-
While participating in hands-on mission projects, take plenty of pictures and pick up brochures or other keepsakes for your scrapbook.
-
Snap photos at your bike-a-thons or soup suppers to raise money for special mission emphases such as the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering or World Hunger.
-
Take photos during RA recognition events. Include pictures of RAs being recognized during RA Week or during end-of-year recognition activities.
-
Any time you award certificates, patches, pins, chevrons, medals, and so forth, take a picture and write a caption for it. Remember to spell each name correctly, and try to get as many individual photos as possible—perhaps making a collage on one or more pages.
-
When you have special guest speakers or visitors, document those with photos or maps of the country or area they serve.
-
As you participate in race cars, camping, and RA events, designate a photo person for each so that plenty of photos will commemorate the experience!
Your scrapbook will serve as a wonderful testimony to others of the on-mission activities of your RAs. It may also serve as a GREAT promo piece to recruit future Lads and Crusaders (and leaders). Make your book colorful and interesting—and most important—have fun!
