Beside bingo and dinners; what can be done at our Senior Center to help raise funds? We have a large room, efficent kitchen, and great volunteers in a small town.

Make a quilt and sell raffle tickets for it? Allow enough time to sell lots of tickets. Printing photos for people to take to work (where they can sell tickets to co-workers) helps.

The senior in our town has a craft show a couple times a year featuring holiday themes...of course I spend too much at them :)

Also, they have book sales, yard sales and bake sales too.
