A common feature among the numerous service clubs is a speaker or
program at the weekly club meetings. Drawing from an assortment of
interesting speakers and topics, these programs provide ample variety to
the meetings, supplementing the fellowship and reports of service
projects that are regular features.
All of the clubs depend on membership to provide the time, expertise
and funds to sustain their programs to improve our communities, and the
weekly club meetings are an excellent opportunity to introduce guests to
the organizations.
Because of the need to predict the number of attendees for seating and
food preparation, a member of the club should be contacted prior to
visiting.
