PURPOSE • “Make Rotary Relevant.” Energize our club, mobilize our existing members and attract new members. • Redefine our club as a “heavy-weight service organization” in Arlington. • Motivate non-Rotarians to visit our meetings, “like” our Rotary Club of Arlington Facebook page and participate in our service projects.
Sample Campaign Schedule: • Jan. 9-27: “Dress for Success” Clothing Drive: • Feb. 6-13: “Toothbrush Rush” • Feb. 6: “Blood Donation Day” • Feb. 13-20: “Let’s CAN Hunger Food Drive”: • Feb. 19: “Anti-bullying Campaign” -Webb Elementary. • Feb. 26: “How to Wow the Real World” program at UTA. • Mar. 1: “Keep Arlington Beautiful.” • Mar. 14: “Planting Seeds of Greatness” PLANNING • Created a Master Plan that benefitted 7 community organizations. • Provided the Campaign schedule to the club so they could plan ahead. • Selected Rotary members to easily lead each activity.
IMPLEMENTATION • Promoted each event thru weekly announcements, emails and club newsletter. Sent press releases to local media. • Encouraged using member’s offices as drop-off points. • Members participated thru giving of time, money, or both. As seen in the Arlington Citizen Journal
