Getting enough adult drivers and responsible leaders to drive was a little hard, but well worth it. It's a good opportunity to spread the word in your community about Young Life. You might want to let the local police station know what you're doing...so they don't show up when you park a couch in the middle of Sonic. Always award points for bringing back students who have never been to Young Life. And you can't stress being safe and courteous enough times. We also called it couch-o-rama.

It was FANTASTIC. We called it Couch-O-Rama though. Just a thought. Another club in our area has also done inflate-o-rama where they ran around with various intertubes and floaties. Whether you run around with a couch or pool toys, you still look crazy & random and the students soak up every bit of it. We've also done Tacky Prom 2 different ways. Our school did a tacky prom skate night which I personally think was the best. We've also done it as a club/ dance with refreshments. Awards are always great and can include puffiest sleeves/biggest lapels, best dressed, and prom king & queen. Good stuff but all has to be organized to a T in order to keep everyone safe and have fun! We did this a few years back. It was FANTASTIC. We called it Couch-O-Rama though. Just a thought.
