PROJECT SUMMARY

HOW TO ACHIEVE THE PROJECT GOAL

Each member can earn points individually by attending and assisting with

projects that fall within the three categories of service. The more members

that are involved, the faster and effective this project will be.

Example of how the points are broken down:

If ten club members facilitate a mentorship program for an half hour, their

club earns five hours of service toward the 70 hours 20 minutes goal.

Take it a step further:

Should clubs wish to challenge themselves, they can go for 7020 minutes

which equates to 117 hours.

HOW WILL THE POINTS BE LOGGED

Points will be logged on a sheet and to be completed by the Club’s president or ADRR

and must be submitted to District Project Chair Antonio by March 31st 2015.
