Duane,
Most refs I know ref for the enjoyment of it and money. In the absence of money, the best thing you can do is make it enjoyable. To make it enjoyable, you must demand complete sportsmanship from the spectators and coaches. If you aren't paying much and the spectators or coaches or jerks, you'll run out of refs in a hurry.
One other thing that refs appreciate is getting evaluated and improving (that's why we go to camps). If you had some respected evaluators who could give constructive comments to you refs, that might be appreciated. If you could videotape some games and give copies to the refs, that might be appreciated too.
