You can also try putting small amounts of vodka on your skin, although beware of the pungent smell and your skin drying.

Article: In order for your club to run smoothly and achieve its goals, the objectives must be clear to you and to all your club members. Define a mission statement for your club, or write out the mission statement that already exists. This mission statement should be short and simple. Post it somewhere in your meeting area, and remind members of the statement at each meeting. This will help you club stay defined and improve, no matter what type of club it is. Also, this will give potential new members an accurate idea of what your club is. Clubs need money for activities, trips and meeting expenses. If you are associated with a university or school, you may be able to appeal to the school for funding if you meet the criteria for becoming a club. If you're not associated with a school, you may want to consider making your club a non-profit. You should only consider this if your club is raising tens of thousands of dollars per year as this will require significant paper work and cost money. But long-term it can help with avoiding any taxes down the road on income the club generates. Consider fundraising. Activities like a car wash, selling products, or simply starting a donation page can help raise money for your club. You can also charge membership dues and fees that are used to fund the club. Outline the basic requirements for someone to become a member. Keep these as simple as possible. For example, you may want age requirements if your club is more adult in nature. You may also make ongoing criteria that are necessary to remain a member of the club, such as regular meeting attendance and participation in events or a certain GPA if you are associate with a school. This will also ensure that you have an active club. As you're leading your club, you want to make sure the club is constantly active in building participants, rather than just waiting for new members to find you. You'll need marketing. You may want a member of the club devoted to this, but as president this will also be your responsibility to make sure the club is growing. Create a website. This allows potential members to read about your club and contact you with interest. Hold open-house events. Advertise events for potential members to come and see what your club is all about. This is a great way to vet potential members and also showcase what your club can do for them. Ask current members to recruit. They are likely to have circles of friends with similar interests.
