Our banquet was originally scheduled for last week, but obviously was canceled. I am still holding out hope that we will be able to reschedule for later this summer. I think that we will all be ready for a celebration by then and will modify whatever forum it takes in order to (hopefully) host a live event.
Our theme this year was/is "Fun and Games" so each day last week I sent an email to volunteers with a game or activity.
Monday - Survey Monkey version of "Match Game" where volunteers filled in the blanks to silly COVID-19 related questions.
Tuesday - Custom word search created online
Wednesday - Survey Monkey questionnaire with 5 questions (i.e., how many rolls of TP do you have on hand at your house?)
Thursday - link to an online jigsaw puzzle. The picture was a photo of our hospital from last week, which featured a giant yard sign saying "Heroes Work Here" and our front entrance.
Friday - Survey Monkey Family Feud game where volunteers had to guess the most popular answers from the quiz sent out on Wednesday.
All of this was very well received, and I had a lot of positive feedback. It will also be fun to revisit these activities during our live banquet (fingers crossed) later this summer. We are holding off presenting our annual hours awards, etc. until then.
