Attendenace sheet, Guest list & how to recruit new club members

Dear Club Vice President's Membership - Division 'L',

 I am enclosing herewith the format of the attendance sheet and the guest list ( Please refer your email attachments) which you can maintain in your club to record the details of the members and the guests. It will help us follow up with the members who are not attending the sessions regularly and to convert the guests to become members. Members who are attending regularly should be given an enthusiasm award either monthly or quarterly, based upon their attendance. If your club has already been following and keeping a proper record of the attendance of the members and guests, you can continue with the same format.

I am also enclosing herewith a promotional catalogue on "HOW TO RECRUIT NEW CLUB MEMBERS". Kindly go through the same carefully and use the techniques given in the catalogue. I am sure you will be able to get many guests converted to members for your club.

In case you have still not received your VPM manual, I am enclosing a soft copy of the same. It will help you perform your role in a much better fashion.

You can also print the copies of the membership application form which is enclosed herewith and bring it along for every meeting, so that it can be handed over to the guest after the conclusion of the meeting.

We will review the progress of this exercise at the beginning of every month and to monitor the smooth functioning of this process, our Division Secretary, TM Pradeep Arora will be at the helm of affairs. In case of any queries or clarifications, please feel free to contact him on GSM 97084421 or on email ca.pradeeparora@gmail.com.

Wishing you all the best in your toastmasters journey,

Regards,

Cyprian Misquith,
Asst. Division L Governor - Marketing
District 20
