Let’s start off doing things a little differently...

LET'S PLAN A SERVICE PROJECT • Please form groups of 5 or 6 with the people around you.

• If you do not have a group chosen in the next 60 seconds, please raise your hand and we will assign you to one.

• In your packet on the seat is your worksheet.

• When given the go-ahead, figure out a pretend service project you will be spearheading. If you cannot think of a service project, choose one from the following list!

Do Your Own Thing Big or small….. projects are for everyone.

Do what works for your group and its dynamics.

Don’t limit yourselves!

BEE creative!

When Planning a Project At Home - Step 1 Find a group of people who are passionate about the project • Don’t let that fire die • Get other members pumped up and excited –What are some examples of things your club does to fire up your members?

2/6/2016 CNH |

California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District District Convention 2016

8

Step 2 Form a committee!!

• This is essential to the success of any long term project –Raise your hand if your club uses committees

• Set goals and remember to make them S.M.A.R.T.

2/6/2016 CNH |

California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District District Convention 2016

9

S.M.A.R.T. Goals •Don’t skip this step.

•Spend time on your goal setting because it helps to clarify why you are really doing the project, which then guides you in all the other aspects of your activities.

•Use the S.M.A.R.T. template to ensure your goals make sense in your setting.

2/6/2016 CNH |

California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District District Convention 2016

10

Committee Dynamics •MAKE SOMEONE A SECRETARY! •This is an important role. The secretary should share the minutes with the club, the advisor and help the committee chair remind members about assignments and upcoming committee meetings.

2/6/2016 CNH |

California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District District Convention 2016

11

Use a “Committee Minutes” Template • It’s not required, but it’s helpful to use a standard template for committee minutes.

• It can also help to keep your committee on track.

• And, it helps you to identify if a committee decision requires subsequent action on the part of the club.

• This template can be found on our club website! We’re giving you a half-sheet with instructions for how to find it on our site.

2/6/2016 CNH |

California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District District Convention 2016

12

Use a Planning Sheet •It really helps you to stay organized, and to NOT FORGET anything important!

•There are a lot of on-line planning sheet examples.

–But, if you want easy access to one, check out our club’s website. Instructions for finding it are on the half-sheet we’ve given you.

2/6/2016 CNH |

California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District District Convention 2016

13

Planning Sheet Peek • It’s several pages in length and has room for members to write answers to questions, as well as assign responsibilities and set deadlines.

• This can be a useful tool for the chairperson…helping to keep track of duties, reminding members of their assignments, etc.

2/6/2016 CNH |

14

Step 3 COMMUNICATION is KEY! • You don’t want members saying things like, “Oh… well, I didn’t know.” or “You never told me.”

• Assign someone to contact members through social media, texting, flyers, posters, website, and so on.

• This person needs to be comfortable around others, and be interactive.

– What are some ways your club communicates with your members?

– How can you improve your communication system?

15

Step 4 Form Sub-Committees • If you want to make it BIG then go with subcommittees as needed. –For example: With our Dinner of Talents we formed several sub-committees: things like advertising, talent contest, ad sales, etc.

16

Does A Project Seem Like Too Much?

• Does your club host huge events, or long-term projects?

• If not, consider working with your Kiwanis, (or any K-Family member), if a project seems like too much for your small club.

• Doing something that stretches your limits, and “ropes” in your Kiwanis club is a GOOD THING!

• Why? 2/6/2016 CNH |

California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District District Convention 2016

17

Step 5 TAKE ACTION PEOPLE! • Once you plan something, DO NOT STOP! – Use your planning sheet!

– Stay in contact.

– Always make sure there is one other person to back you up if others have questions and you are not around.

– Make sure the officer team of your club knows about what you are doing, • Ask your President for permission to report at club meetings.

18

Keep To Deadlines •That’s why a planning sheet with timed commitments is so important.

•No task will get away from you if you stick to your deadlines.

•Ultimately, who is responsible for keeping everyone on task? (Yes… The Committee Chair, with the help of the Secretary and Sub-Chair.)

2/6/2016 CNH |

19

Step 6 Evaluate mid-way if your goals are being met, or if they need revision.

• Do not limit yourself if you can go above and BEE-yond your goals!

• Only stop when you feel successful.

• However, don’t forget to stop and celebrate the little victories.

2/6/2016 CNH |

Step 7 After you host a big event, or finish a big project, come back together as a group and talk about what went well/what went wrong • This will help you plan future events/projects –Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others

21

Something to consider...

Already mentioned, but it’s important Involve the K Family • Invite your Kiwanis to work alongside you • Builders Clubs, K Kids, Aktion Club, etc.

• Make your project an Interclub!

• Go DIVISION level!

• Reach for the stars!
