Girls, need a hair tie?

[KelliV]

I remember when Kathie made these! They were lifesavers.


As someone who works several all girls events for cheerleading and works at an arena here are some do's and don'ts I've learned:

Do:
Pay it forward, if you have extra "girl items" leave some
Say thank you to the team that supplies them
Only take what you need
Keep it clean and organized
Notify arena staff that it's there (so nobody throws it out)
Make sure mints or gum is individually wrapped... Bathrooms are nasty.

Don't:
Use personal hygiene products (lip balms and deodorant sound good until everyone has the flu)
Share combs, lice happens... Trust me on this one. You never know who's sibling walked in from daycare with them.
Leave it a mess.
Forget to grab it at the end of each day (arena staff isn't there to clean up after you)



The dollar tree sells baskets and bowls you can use and won't miss if they get lost/stolen.

This is a GREAT idea!

This is a really really cool idea. Would these kits be more like little-bags-to-hand-out or baskets-with-things-to-take/borrow?

Everything I'd suggest for such a kit has already been mentioned. For my personal "competition emergency kit", I usually try to have:
hair ties (with extras!), hair clips
feminine supplies (with extras!)
tissues
post or stud earrings (for those annoying-to-reach reset buttons)
a USB flash drive
an extra team shirt
saline solution and a contact lens case (I wear contacts)
writing utensils
and snacks (some with chocolate and some with salt).
The first three are the most reasonable to put into a general kit, but I've needed all of them at at least one competition.

Nothing could be more attractive to FRC boys than zip-ties in the hair
