Club Service Assignments

President Memorie Martinez has designed a new scheme for club service assignments, with new tasks for each assignment as follows:

Task 1: Serve as Greeter and find “volunteers” to give the invocation and lead the Pledge of Allegiance and Four-Way Test.

Task 2: Help set up food, sell raffle tickets, and help with cleanup after the meeting, including taking out the garbage.

Task 3: Set out the badge box, hang banners, and take attendance; take down banners and return the badge box to the storeroom.

Task 4: Serve as Speaker Host: Greet and eat with the speaker and introduce him or her to other Rotarians.

Each assignment will last one entire month, as follows:

The responsibilities of Greeters and Speaker Hosts are the same as before, and Task 2 includes the responsibilities previously described for Fund Raisers.

Greeter: Your job is to greet members, visitors, and guests as they arrive. Please stand in a position where you can easily spot and assist visitors (do not crowd the registration table). You may wish to wear the official “Greeter” badge.

Fund Raiser: Your job is to sell raffle tickets to all members and guests who wish to purchase one or more. Please offer the tickets to members and guests after they have been seated. By visiting each table you will get to know each member better, and you will sell more tickets. Do not attempt to sell tickets near the registration table. You may wish to come early, eat your own lunch, and then start after most of our members have arrived, but please arrange to have completed your collection before the program begins. NOTE: Most Fund Raisers have found that this is really a two-person job; fortunately, those assigned Task 2 are part of a team. It is a good idea to start with the head table (where the speaker is seated). This table usually fills up fairly early and, by starting here, you will be sure of getting to it before the program starts.

Speaker Host: Your job is to meet the guest speaker, guide him or her to the center front table, provide any needed assistance in setting up for his or her program, usher him or her to the buffet, and then sit with him/her and introduce him/her to the others at the table. If there is no guest speaker, please sit with one or more of the club officers. Please note that this job is not the same thing as program chairman! You are not responsible for lining up a speaker, just making him or her welcome at the meeting.
