Duties of RYE Student Host
- On the night before the meeting phone our student and check as to what is to happen. The phone number for our student is always available on the ClubRunner app.
Ask whether he / she will be available to come to Rotary the following day.
If yes, then arrange a meeting time and place. The student will be already appraised of the best place to meet and the best time which is usually 11:45 am for our lunch meeting.
Be aware that if your duty is in school holiday time it may be that the student needs to be picked up from home. - Make sure you make your appointed time when you pick the student up.
- Remember at the end of the Rotary meeting that you are also responsible for returning our student to wherever you picked him / her up earlier.
- The car trip is an excellent time to discuss any trips the student may be planning. Should you have something planned which could include our student, this would be an excellent time to invite him / her. Maybe invite them out for a meal (does not have to be flash) to your home or if you have some function that you think they would enjoy, be their host. If you are picking the student up from the College please give the the student your car registration number for safety and security reasons, and ensure that they will get in the correct vehicle.
- Most importantly - if you are unable to fulfil your duty please make alternative arrangements with another Club member. Do not ring the non-Rotarian RYE Student's Hosts as they are not necessarily members of the Club and helping with attendance at our Club lunch is not within what they signed up for. Your cooperation is really appreciated.
