Meetings: On Time Prize Drawings

Need a new way to get the class to arrive on time and to return to class promptly after a break or lunch? Try an "on time" prize drawing.

At a conference this week, there were "on time" prizes drawn at the start of the day and at the announced time after the breaks. The prize drawings start promptly at the program's start time, and includes 3-4 gift cards.
