Jim is the Awana commander for our church. We like to give the leaders a little treat during the year. We have a lot of great people that are willing to volunteer their time to work with kids age 3 through 6th grade telling them about the Gospel of Christ. We thought a thank you was in order.
We had our kickoff meeting for the Awana leaders at church. I made up a little thank you gift for each of them. I found Aldi sells Excitemint gum at $.99 for 6 packages. That made them affordable for me as I would need about 40 packages. I am all for easy so I printed out labels created in MS Word on Avery 5167 address labels that said "Thank you for your commit "mint" to Awana". I put one on each package of gum. Hannah helped me hand them out at the meeting by saying here is a little "Excitemint" for you to start of the Awana year right.
I got the seed idea for this treat from one of my all time favorite Ladies Ministry bloggers, Julia Bettencourt. She has a section she wrote on using different types of candy bars with catchy phrases for table favors and thank you notes. When I saw this gum brand, I knew it would work.
