EarlyAct - Rotary District 9350
If a Rotary Club has an interest in sponsoring an EarlyAct Club, it can begin by appointing an EarlyAct subcommittee
One committee member can agree to act as the Rotary advisor to the EarlyAct club, which involves attending meetings and offering guidance on service projects
Once the EarlyAct subcommittee has become familiar with all the elements of the EarlyAct program, it can make a presentation to its Rotary Club
After the Rotary Club has approved sponsorship, the EarlyAct subcommittee can contact the appropriate school principal to discuss plans for an EarlyAct club
A meeting time and place can then be discussed
The educators are the driving force behind EarlyAct because they are there, on site, to guide the students in carrying out the day-to-day activities of the club
The initial meeting of the EarlyAct Club establishes the goals and objectives of the club
