AMAZING ANNIVERSARY EXTRAVAGANZA
Celebrate your club’s anniversary with an Open House!
- Win an Amazing Gift Basket of goodies for planning and conducting an Open House during the month of your club’s anniversary.
- Earn extra surprises when you do each of the following:
- Submit photos from your Open House event.
- Submit the meeting agenda from your Open House event.
- Share the top 2 ways guests learned about the meeting.
- Add 3+ members within one month of your Open House.
The Amazing Gift Basket is valued up to $75 for planning and conducting an Amazing Anniversary Extravaganza and adding new members to your club!
Note:
- All Dual/New/Reinstated members added within one month of your Open House qualify.
- Clubs must hold an Open House in order to receive an Amazing Gift Basket.
- If a club has an anniversary in January or February, the club can opt to either receive District Credit (via the New Year’s Challenge) OR receive a gift basket (via the Amazing Anniversary Extravaganza Program) for conducting an open house in those months, but not both. The club may participate in both open house programs by planning and conducting two separate open houses that meet requirements for both programs.
- If a club has an anniversary in January, February or March, the club can opt to either receive District Credit (via the New Year’s Challenge) OR receive additional items in their gift basket (via the Amazing Anniversary Extravaganza Program) for adding 3 or more members to their club in the given timeline defined in the program, but not both. Clubs can claim only 1 of the membership awards for new/dual/reinstated members added before March 31st.
- Submitting the PR flyer also serves as a request to post the event on the District Meetup site; however, the flyer must be submitted at least 5 days before the open house to be posted on Meetup.
To win an Amazing Gift Basket for holding an Open House, clubs must:
- Submit a publicity flyer or graphic and 3 meeting practices you follow or plan to follow using this Amazing Open House Planning Submission Form before the Open House.
To earn additional items in the Amazing Gift Basket, submit additional information about your event using this Amazing Open House Final Submission Form no later than a week after the club Open House event. For example, the deadline to submit photos is October 7th for an Open House held on September 30th. Additional information include:
