MONTHLY FOOD JOURNAL CONTEST
A great way to get members to use a food journal.
Each week members bring in a completed food journal and have person responsible for running contest to initial food journal. Their name is then placed in a draw. At the end of the month, a random name is drawn from all those names. That person gets a small prize. We just picked up some different journals and wrapped them up ~ it seems to be helping with members journaling their food.
