Art Of Teaching

1] Crowd Funding: Talk about your cause which can be charitable in nature through A virtual messaging system on the premises. It can be done by posting the same video before any event on online sites and banners. For this we need to set a goal for e.g.; – We can say we need to renovate the Club Hall and do sound acoustics or state some social cause. Be specific about the amount you want to generate and prepare some coupons which you can be distributed at a specific location. We need to be transparent about the fund collection so that people believe that their money will be put to good use. We can also offer some token of appreciation for the ones who donate.

Here you can give them the programs for the next month as well as your club news letter which may be either a hard copy or a soft copy with monthly activities or pictures at a cost. You may also get a small group of sponsors for dinner but collect money from the others as monthly get-to- gather contributions. You can organize different in-house programs on these days like karaoke nights, singing, dancing etc. This will ensure that your club is vibrant and living entity, otherwise it will be a dead one where all members meet only once or twice a year. 

10] Community Festival: Every Club has Community Festivals organized for their members where they gather for the events and the clubs offer them the opportunity to participate in the events and they are offered refreshments.

It is every Club Members duty to see that their club is self sufficient in nature and only then can we say that we are prosperous or prospering.  For this every club member needs to have certain qualities like confidence, endurance, perseverance and daring to do something extraordinary for the club. We need to stop our habit of expecting from others or taking a back seat. We need to strive for the betterment of the club irrespective of recognition or rewards. We need to understand that nothing in this world is permanent. So, we should stop depending on others and find out ways and means to give our very best. If we fail, its alright as nobody is perfect, but we will be satisfied that we at least gave it a try. Last but not the least we need to increase our level of knowledge about other clubs and their workings and try to compete to be at par with the best ones if not superior to them.
