Step 5. Plan When the Job Should Be
Done

A number of Rotary clubs plan com-
munity service over a period of years,
thus avoiding disjointed efforts due to
a change of committeemen each year.
Some clubs lay out a three-year or a
five-year plan for community service,
taking the most urgent needs first, and
then working toward the broader
aspects of community service over a

period of years. There is much to be
said in favor of such a plan.

Action Next

When the community service com-
mittee of a club has considered the
various steps outlined above, and its
proposals have received approval, it is
ready to enlist the members in the
selected community service activities.
It has planned its work; it is now
ready to work its plan.

Types of Activity

For convenience of discussion, com-
munity service activities may be divided
into two groups:

Boys Work and Youth Service
Activities
Civic Welfare Activities

Boys Work and Youth Service
Activities

Activities in this group have been
to many clubs the most popular phase
of community service. From the central
office of the secretariat the committee
can obtain a convenient check-list of over
250 actual Boys Work and Youth Service
activities which have been reported by
Rotary clubs. This list includes spe-
cific activities under such general head-
ings as:
