THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE

(Subcommittee of the Club Service Committee)

The program committee consists of
a chairman (a member of the club
service committee) and such others as
the president and the board of directors
of the club shall determine.

This committee arranges the pro-
gram for each regular and _ special
meeting of the club in accordance with
the plan prepared by the aims and ob-
jects committee and approved by the
board of directors. There is no con-
flict between the aims and objects com-
mittee and the program committee.
The one plans, the other executes the
plan.

The program committee follows
through on details as far as club meet-
ings are concerned. It carries out the
plan by seeing that each Rotarian or
each club committee responsible for a
meeting program has that program
ready on the date assigned.

In cooperation with the music com-
mittee the program committee arranges
for such incidental entertainment as
may be necessary to make the program

THE MUSIC

The music committee cooperates
with the program committee in provid-
ing music and entertainment features
which will serve to maintain balance
in each club program.

The music committee may consist
merely of the song leader and the ac-

for a particular day interesting and well
balanced.

The work of the program committee
affects the welfare of the club at many
points—interest, attendance, develop-
ing members, etc. Each club meeting
should provide both the relaxation and
the inspiration. which members need in:
these busy and exacting days. “The
Program Committee of the Rotary
Club” is the title of Pamphlet No. 15,
some of the sections of which describe
the elements of a good program, how
to handle controversial topics, program
sources in the average community, and
how to put‘on good programs. The
club secretary may secure copies of this
pamphlet for the committee gratis, if
he does not already have them on hand.

For the assistance of this committee
Rotary International prepares a number
of suggestions based on successful pro-
grams in Rotary clubs, and on addresses
and articles in the various fields in which
Rotary clubs take an active part. This
material may be obtained by addressing
the secretariat of Rotary International.
