The keeper of club properties

  • Arrange for a replacement if you are unable to attend a club meeting or if you need assistance.

  • Prepare your successor for office.

  • Arrange the room and equipment at least 10 minutes before the meeting begins. Make sure the lectern is in place, the banner displayed, evaluation forms and ballots distributed, awards, product guide, progress chart and educational material displayed, place cards arranged and name badges available.

  • Greet members and guests and arrange for guests to sit with members.

  • Greet visiting officers and escort them to the club president.

  • Arrange for food service at meal meetings.
