Thank you's are always appreciated but especially so after the summer when we depend on the volunteers to help the programs run smoothly. If you're a member of PUBYAC, check out the archives for 8-3-2010. Your colleagues would appreciate hearing what works and what doesn't.

The consensus by far was that teens really like food!  

• Cold Stone Creamery coupons 

• $5 ITunes card, would be nice, though you probably can't get them for only $5.  

• $5 gift card to a bookstore

• Canvas bag from Target

• Tickets from local movie theater

• Pizza coupon

• Swimming pass from local pool.

• Food coupons from several local chains (McDonald’s, Starbucks…) and a giant candy bar.

• Themed t-shirts at Highsmith for $4.25 a shirt.  A pretty great deal for an all cotton t-shirt.

• Make up a random assortment of candy in individual cellophane bags to hand out. 

• Skins for iPods?MP3 downloads? They're about 99 cents per song.

• A bank that counts the money on a digital counter as you put coins in.

• Thank-you note and include a gift certificate.
