HOW to Set UP IRE. DAY (Continued)

Rotary Club Meeting (either at luncheon or at dinner)

 

Invite prospective members and other leading citizens. Past experience
has shown that thi's meeting helps to interest prospective members in the

Rotary club.
Mass Meeting (in the evening)
Arrange for a hall in which to hold this meeting.

Consider making up a special notice to be given to the high school
students to take along to their pdrents as additional publicity for
this meeting. A mimeographed sheet used this way has been helpful.

Suggest that each member personally invite a number of friends to
attend this mass meeting.

PUBLICITY

EE Ne SS

To help your club give widespread publicity to your "Youth Service Day", Rotary
International will furnish you several different newspaper publicity items, —
including an "advance notice" to be published several days before the meeting.
By using that material a large audience will be assured at the mass meeting.
Many of the students also come back for the evening meeting.

Here are a few extracts from the hundreds of letters recently received:

" .. I have been a member of the college faculty here for fifteen years

and I have heard many lecturers, some of the best. But I have not Imown

any other person to get such 4 hold on the people in the community be-

fore. The students of both the high school and the college were tremendously

inspired and I am sure Dr. Barker's message will be of lasting benefit to

them. ... In consequence of our meeting Dr. Barker, and seeing him in action,
every man in our club will be a better Rotarian. We shall all put forth
more effort to make Rotary what it should be in this community. Further-
more, we are convinced that his work here a teenethenrs our club in the

minds and hearts of the people. ..."
(J. P. Wynne, The Rotary Club of Farmville, Virginia. )

"The more. I think upon the subject the more I am convinced that this

was one of the brightest days in the life of Rotary in Macon. Charlie
did a swell job at the high school where he spoke before a student
assembly at 460; at the noon luncheon, before 65 adults; and the mass
meeting in the evening, before 350 parents, children, and townspeople."
(J. Presley Pound, The Rotary Club of Macon, Missouri. )

"Well, your Dr. Charles Barker has been here and gone, but his memory
will linger on for a long, long while. It is my opinion that he has
done more for the youngsters in this community than any other man or
group of men we have.ever had and he left a lot.of us older people
wondering why we have so long neglected some of the simple things we
could have been doing. Our entire community has benefited by the three
addresses he so finely gave and I hope to be able to hear him again
in the future."
: (Harvey Gue, The Rotary Club of Crawford, Nebraska. )
