1. Introduction

Getting your meeting-to-meeting organization routine down is a key factor in having a RDG club. Without it, your meetings will be disorganized, which leads to stress, confusion, and conveys a lack of leadership. This leads to frustrated members that may not renew, and guests that will go away with a bad impression of your club. With it, your meetings will flow smoothly from one segment to the next, and stress about who's doing what minimized. This does take some background work, but it's well worth investing the time to get this right. Clubs that do put in the work invariably grow, clubs that don't tend to fizzle out.

This lesson will be pulling together the tasks that were seen in the "Before the Meeting" sections. It will be organized assuming that the club meets weekly; adjust the timing of elements as needed for your club. This lesson uses a day-by-day format. As always, this is a series of suggested guidelines that will need to be adapted as the situation and the way your club does things.
