Renting silent movies to raise Baha'i fund!

Fund Fun...

The Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Wheaton, Illinois, recently wrote: “Our community has found a fun and successful fund-raising activity!

“We rent silent movies from our local library for 10 cents. Members of the community provide refreshments and we hold a ‘movie night.’

A donation is charged at the door, and there is a charge for refreshments (cookies 10 cents, lemonade 25 cents, popcorn, fruit, etc.).

“Of course, if non-Baha’is attend, there is no charge for them (unless their Baha'i friend wishes to pay for them), and there is no charge for anyone who cannot afford to pay.

“In this way we have been able to raise more than $100. It’s a social activity, and when non-Baha’is attend it usually becomes a fireside too.”

(The American Bahá’í, June, 1980)
