  26. Scrapbooking Night - contact a local scrapbooking store that has the room to offer classes.  Ask to hold a 12-hour scrapbooking session beginning at 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.  Charge between $25 - $45, which provides the space, 3 meals and snacks.  The store will have a database that they may share with you to invite those who scrapbook.  If not, advertise.  Both the chapter makes a profit and the store as scrapbookers will buy many supplies during that 12 hours.  The store also provides a die cut, paper cutter, etc. to assist the scrapbookers.  All attendees bring their own supplies and buy others while in the store.  (Chapter made over $1,000 and the scrapbooking store almost the same.)
