RECRUITING NEW MEMBERS TIP #1: LURE IN THE FRESHMEN WITH PIZZA Are you struggling with getting new members? Did a large percentage of your club graduate last year? Here are few ideas that can help you get new faces at your meetings:
SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION!
• •
I know, I cried a little too.
•
And although school does bring homework, waking up early, and countless other things that make me sad to think about, the beginning of the school year is a great time to recruit new members and do fun service projects!
•
This newsletter will provide you with some recruitment tips as well as info on some amazing partnerships from the international board that the district board learned about this past weekend at our August board meeting. Stay tuned, and be prepared for an amazing service year! ROCKY MOUNTAIN DISTRICT KEY CLUB
•
Ask to have a booth at back to school night or registration Hang up flyers and write announcements about Key Club meetings Hold a “bring a friend” meeting where each member brings a new person Host a fun service project and open it up to the rest of the school to participate Promote your Key Club on social media
Most importantly, let others see your passion for the club!
