4. Analyzing Your Service Project Weekly Projects vs Weekend projects Check out the attendance rate High or low? Is attendance consistent? How frequent is your event? If it is weekly, how many times a week? Have members approached you about the service project? Have they mentioned that they liked it? Any improvements they want? Talk with the coordinators of the event

5. Evaluating With Members • Discuss the pros and cons of an event • In person feedback / building bonds with members • Have time during service committee meetings to reflect on past events and how to improve on them • Have an online survey such as a Google form, or a survey to hand out during general meetings • Google Form, Survey Monkey

11. Tailoring Events • For board members: find the interests of club members and find projects that fit • This is where surveys can come in • Talk to members during meetings! • Try to put yourself in members' shoes. See what their schedules are like • For general members: don't be shy about presenting an event or opinions to board members • This is your time to take leap of faith in LEADERSHIP!

12. Ensuring Club Cohesion and Unity • Don't make it any more awkward, begin a conversation • Discuss their passion in service (because service is probably why they are at the event) • Ask about their day • Make them feel welcome. • Imagine yourself in their position • They came out for a reason. They took their time to be here. Make it worthwhile for them • You don't need to be a board member to make them feel welcomed.

13. Rewards • Remind members about the Member Recognition Program (MRP) • Have incentives for going out to service projects • Offer the opportunity to go out to eat after an event (since we all know dining hall food is bleh...) • Find events/orgs that offer free swag swag swag...and other stuffs
