Send messages or cards in the case of an illness or death in the families of club members. Periodically Evaluate the Meeting Place. If your club has good club meeting programs and well-rounded service activities, but suffers from poor attendance, it may be that your regular meeting place is unattractive or the meal service is poor. In any event, it is good to periodically evaluate the meeting place and meal service. Visitors An attractive but brief story of your club in a booklet form, presented to visiting Kiwanians and non-Kiwanis guests, would be an excellent gesture, as well as good public relations.
Many clubs enjoy the fun of an attendance prize donated by the members.
The individual bringing the prize might be asked to determine the method of selecting the recipient, or the membership committee can develop unusual ways for accomplishing this. Observing Club Members' Birthdays Many clubs have the custom of setting aside one meeting of the month to celebrate birthdays. All members whose birthdays occur during that month sit at a special table. A special birthday cake is brought in, accompanied by the singing of Happy Birthday . Some clubs ask celebrants to contribute a penny per year to the birthday bank.
