Could this work in our club?
- Adult Rotary alumni, partners or support people where appropriate, and welcoming club hosts. Use when alumni want a low-pressure social event.
Before you start
- Venue access, transport, food, alcohol and conduct plan.
- Invitation explains cost, dress, partner attendance and that joining is not expected.
- Photography and follow-up choices visible at registration and at the event.
At the end: Send a thank-you and one optional preference link within 48 hours; do not add attendees or guests to general mailing lists automatically.
Before your club says yes
Does the idea fit?
Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.
Who can say yes?
Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.
Are people protected?
Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.
Can everyone take part?
Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.
Are the facts and permissions right?
Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.
How will we learn?
Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
