To the game.

This weekend James and I attended the Michigan Women’s Basketball game.

• We catch the games when we can.
• To support women’s sports.
• And take in the experience - and what an experience it was!

I’m not sure which I enjoyed more…

• The game.
• (Won with less than a minute to go!)
• Or the other stuff in between.

Michigan was very creative in giving people a reason to attend the game.

• Catered birthday parties with special basketball cupcakes.
• Elementary kids sang the national anthem.
• American Heart passed out cookbooks and Go Red Pins.
• Biggest Loser contestants signed autographs.
• Free basketball games to first 1,000 attendees.
• Special deal for high school teams.
• Opportunities to participate in wacky contests during timeouts.
• Chance to see the Michigan cheerleaders and dance team.
• Music by the Michigan pep band.
• Fill the Stadium contest.

There were different reasons for different people to attend.

Makes me think of chapter leaders…how many reasons do you give your members to attend your events?
