Every meeting should provide relax-
ation and inspiration which members
need in these busy and exacting days.

8. Social Affairs

Taking charge of the club’s social af-
fairs (unless a special committee is ap-
pointed for this purpose).

9. Publicity
Aiding the editor of the club publi-

cation in obtaining personal items
about members of the club.

As a regular feature, many clubs in-
clude short personality sketches of mem-
bers in the club bulletin. These may
be prepared with the member’s assist-
ance or the information may be ob-
tained from the family, friends, ete.
Some clubs like the idea of omitting
the member’s name from the sketch
as a means of creating additional in-
terest and curiosity.

10. Birthday and Wedding

Anniversaries

Announcing the approaching birth-
days of members of the club so that
members who so desire may extend
greetings at the appropriate time.

In some larger clubs, members hav-
ing birthdays that week are seated at
a special table and introduced. In
smaller clubs they may be seated at the
head table. Some clubs send a card,
flowers, or other token to the Rotarian’s
wife on the wedding anniversary.

11. Personal Recognition

Mentioning in club meeting or bulle-
tin an outstanding service to the com-
munity rendered by a member or some
honor he has received through his trade
association or elsewhere.

12. Music and Club Singing

Providing for song leader (perhaps
as a member of the committee). Good
singing and good fellowship usually go
hand in hand. :

13. Luncheon Badges

Providing luncheon name _ badges
which, in the large clubs, are almost
essential for acquaintance and fellow-
ship. Even in the small clubs the name
badge is a great aid to the visiting Ro-
tarian or guest.

14. Attendance

The fellowship committee should
keep in touch with the attendance com-
mittee, because the activities of the fel-
lowship committee have such a direct
bearing on the attendance of the club
members.

15. Information

Cooperation with the Rotary infor-
mation committee is mutually helpful
since informed Rotarians have more in
common.

Often the committee can further its
purpose by visiting members of the
club in their places of business.

Both Rotary fellowship and Rotary
information have been greatly improved
in some clubs by arranging fireside
meetings in the homes of members.
This is usually done by dividing the
club into small groups with one mem-
ber as a designated host. The fellow-
ship committee can arrange the meet-
ings, and the Rotary information com-
mittee provide a short but interesting
discussion program.

Acquaintance and understanding are
necessary to develop genuine friend-
ship. When real friendship exists, each
individual is willing to meet the other
fellow at least half way in the process
of mutual appreciation.

Several papers containing suggestions
for the fellowship committee are avail-
able. The club secretary may obtain
them from the secretariat, free, if he
does not already have them.
