What Should BE Done at Club Meet /
ings?:
The question has often been asked |
What should be done at a club meet
ing ?" Experience in several states
seem to justify the following proceed
ure, which of course should be var
led to meet local needs:
1. The Club group can well meet
regularly once each month, or every
two weeks at the home of some club
member where the club plot or en- ,
terprise may be observed, or in a
school house or some other public
hall. One successful plan is that of
holding seasonal meetings for dem
onstrational purposes to the end that s
The members may learn how to con-
luct their work from time to time, S
and also for the purpose of carrying
he idea Of successful practices over
o the community at large.
2. The club should be managed by G
IS own officers according to parli- L
nentary practice under the direction S
II the local leader. This will give 0
he members a club of their own for C
which they will be largely RESPONSE v
lie. The idea of self-help will tend f
o make them resOurceful and help b
hem to become leaders. (See Club S
lanuel for Parliamentary rules). C
3. If possible, the meeting should il
e opened with the singing of spir- n
Ted club songs. A unity of feeling a
viii thus be developed.
4. The roll should be called by the G.
ecretary Of the club, the members re- W
pOnding by giving a report of their Il
'ork on the club enterprise since the
asst meeting. This self-expression a.
evelop interest and ability to stand in
efore the public and talk.
D. The minutes of the last meeting Dl
hould be read by the secretary OF
he club. This will review the re- ca
ults of the previous meeting and l.
III often serve as a stepping stone gi
u the discussion Of current meeting Oh
book for the secretary's minutes fiji
I'll be supplied by the State Club Je
eader for all organized clubs. w
b. The record books of all members nc
lould be inspected by the local or tn
'unty leader. This work is i'm We
'rtant in that it will help the indi- ed
1ual club members to do cOnstruc- in
re work, and also because it will Co
axe 1t possible for progress reports eli
De made for the club, which will tn,
ten be indicative Of the quality of the
suits secured
T. II IS always timely to demon saI
rate some phase of club work on clu
llch the members are working or Tn
II be working on during the cur the
lt month. The demonstration can rou
IL be accompanied or followed by Z
ak on some phase of the club en- Del
prise by the local leader, county \
state agent, teacher, some mem Il
OF the club who has done unusual Nel
Wen, or a successful farmer or A
ne-maker. The cooperation of the n
'ents should be secured in this Gee
rk, II possible. Boys and girls VI
to feel that they are working on T
Dlems that are real and similar for
the problems of adults. In turn. in
ITS will usually do most anything sist
help boys and girls along if the will
S ana girls are really interested. Ons
. Club songs, yells and a social plaI
II may follow. The play life of wor
S and girls should be constructive Cou
developed. Agricultural and home Spe
Alng games, contests and plays pers
be featured. Il the clnh meet tiOn
is enjoyed, the attendance will E
ally be good. Copies of club songs fore
yells will be supplied upon re- VII
