The goal of the Moose Association this year will be to concentrate on
retaining our current members. While we are always looking for new members
to help keep our lodges, chapters, and legions alive, we also need to be aware
that letting them walk out the backdoor doesn't help anyone in the end.
The member that joins and drops one year
latter will give your unit a bad image because that is all they
will remember. Get them active, and you will keep them.
Some ways to keep your members:
1. Activities, Activities, Activities
(If there is no reason to go to the club, why pay the annual
dues)
2. Class Reunions
(After six months, send out invitations to those that enrolled
and invite them back for a free dinner, or a free drink with a
purchased dinner. Remind them that you care.)
3. Call and check in on them.
(Have the trustees, or form a committee to come to the lodge and
call some of the members and see how they are doing)
4. Everyone needs a reminder.
(Are you sending each delinquent member 3 reminders.
One shortly after their dues expire, second 30 days after
expire, third 60 days after expire.)
