Some Tips:
Be creative. (see how you can surprise your community through your act of kindness)
Keep it simple. (don't over-complicate it)
Make the events season-appropriate.
Consider the Co$t!
Remember that service is a sacrifice. Some service projects will involve both hard work and financial resources.
Ask the members of your group to donate money or products towards the project.
You can also look for other community sponsors or ask your church to help provide the materials.
