The Contest


In a prior post, you saw a short video that included this silver box. Several wanted to know what was in it. The box is part of our TOPS (take off pounds sensibly) contest. Each week, if we lose weight, we write our name on a ticket and put it in this box. At the end of the contest period, a name is drawn and the prize is 10.00.  UPdate per Anni's question below... The contest last 6 weeks, the funds are from our account. each person pays 4.00 a month as a member. That covers our rent for the church and prizes and insurance.
I bought the box at Dollar Tree and a bag of stickers.
The stickers say
 Hello, Awesome, Never Give up, You're the best, You've Got This...

Who donates the $10 each week? Like a raffle?

Ella said...

A very good initiative! A small reward encourages participants even more! I am curious who will win and how many kg has managed to lose weight!

Rose said...

That is not bad at all! Have you ever won?

Tat is a very pretty box and I do so love the $ store's wrappings and stickers and ribbons and beautiful cards. Hugs Cecilia

Cute box!
That last quote is so great. Both yesterday and this morning I was discouraged -- discovering I've only lost a tenth of a pound. Losing weight's not the quick and dirty win it was in my 20's and 30's.

I really like the Success quote. It's really true.
The contest is a great incentive for maintaining.
This early morning was delicious. It rained yesterday and everything smelled so fresh and clean.
The little flitty birds were having a Sunday Praise Service in the backyard while I was out there with Snicker "doing her thing". Of course I had my phone inside...because I thought I was coming right back in..Missed a great photo opp.
Now the clouds have come back in and I think its going to spritz again. I wore her out playing with the ball and her wearing her nose out sniffing our big yard. Now she's sawing logs under my feet.
Wish we could keep Daylight Savings all year for the lighter evenings but it sure fouls up you Early Birds...Sorry.

You sure are the perfect person to lead the group. What fun! You always have really cool ideas!

Ann said...

That's a fun way to keep people motivated.

The box is so cute. If you are any indication then this Tops group is doing very well.

This is such a great idea and I'm, sure a morale boaster, plus winning a few dollars is always nice.
