New Member Ideas

This is new officer time for many clubs, and those who only elect officers once a year should haverejuvination time The summer doldrums will soon be over and it will be necessary to institute an active membership campaign

A good way to improve your membership is to block off the business area surrounding your club meeting place Assign an area or territory to each Active Club Member Borrow a City Directory, all cities have them Your Power Company, Telephone Company, many large business, a Public Library or City Hall, can lend you one This will give the address geographically and the name and telephone number of the business in each mans' territory

Then have each man make a telephone call or physical contact on each business Make an appointment with the man in charge and introduce Toastmasters to him You'll be surprised how many members you'll pick up by this method, and many businesses will be very interested in what you have to offer Try it, it will really build up membership You may be able to start a new club this way More next month
