Greetings!
Does your Optimist Club have a road sign? Optimist road signs are a great promotional tool for your Club. It's a visual way to let the community know about your Club's presence. Optimist International wants to help you spread the word! Every Club* that recruits ten (10) new Members from March 1 through May 30, 2012 will automatically receive an Optimist road sign. Attracting new Members to your Optimist Club can be a fun and exciting project for your Club! An extra set of hands helps your Optimist Club stay healthy and active in your community. Consider one of these strategies to recruit new Members:
- Utilize social networking web sites like www.Meetup.com and www.Facebook.com to find community-minded groups and individuals that are looking for ways to give back to their community.
- Host a NOW program and invite potential Members to learn more about what your Club does for your community. Show potential Members the benefits they will receive from joining. For example, how working in a community provides an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
- Use the Coffee Recruitment program to get to know a potential Member by asking them about their volunteer interests.
Most importantly, keep up the great work you do to "bring out the best in kids!"
*Chartering a new Club during the promotion will qualify the sponsor Club. Friends of Optimists count as Members. Limit one sign per qualifying Club. |
