I would like to find an installation ceremony that is a candy theme, can you help me?
Your link just takes you to myschoolonline.com-- it's not the complete link to your school-- so you can get the the info-- can you repost or copy and paste into a replay.
Thanks, FoxMOM
I was wondering why I was still receiving so many emails. Looking for installations go to www.myschoolonline.com/oh/lakewoodptacouncil
once there go to Help for Units and you will find Installation Ideas. Sorry I did not post that above. Best Wishes
I am glad to receive all of your emails from my previous post. And I am happy to email you what I have. But... There have been so many requests! I have started posting them on our council web site so please take a look. www.myschoolonline.com/oh/lakewoodptacouncil
To easily print these from the web site highlight the text and choose print selection in your print options. Best wishes!
A great book that has 26 different installation ceremonies is one I found by Pat Hines entitled "Installation Ceremonies for Every Group-26 Memorable Ways to Install New Officers." It is available from Barnes and Noble for about $13.95 and has lots of great ways to make the transition of officers fun! I think its a great way to lighten up your meetings and put the new officers at ease right from the start. Most of the little ceremonies are very informal, last about ten minutes, and involve a symbolic small gift of some kind. For instance, a candy bar theme where you present the new treasurer with a Payday candy bar, the new secretary with a Mounds bar (signifying "Mounds" of paper work they get to work on), a Milky Way for the president who is the principal star in the organization's "galaxy", etc. Members are then each given a Three Musketeers" bite-size candy bar to remind them of the "One for all and all for one" slogan. This is just one of the ideas in this book and I highly recommend it. I think these types of ceremonies are strictly for fun and I can't imagine anyone being embarassed by it. I would certainly make sure that the new officers knew ahead of time that you were planning a fun little ceremony though, if you have concerns that they might be upset by it.
