Explore Contacts & Take ACTION• When people ask, “what’s new?”, tell

them about the great projects your Exchange Club is working on in the community. Then, ASK them to attend a meeting or an event with you.

• Use social media to keep your friends and family informed about club activities. Post photos of exciting club functions.

• Schedule a speaking engagement about your club with a captive audience at an organized event, such as a town hall meeting.

• Post flyers/posters describing an upcoming Exchange Club event. Submit information for inclusion in local newspapers and newsletters.

Expand Your Club’s BALANCEStrive to represent a wide array of professions in your club. The more professionally-balanced your club is, the more networking benefits and learning opportunities for your members.

• Check the list of occupations in this brochure. Does your club have one member from each of the categories listed?
