CLUB FORMS

CLUB FINANCE INFO

• RECRUIT MEMBERS

  SRJC Clubs need a minimum of three (3) members to be active, but recruiting new members is really important for any growing club. Though it's possible for just a couple people to do everything for the club, the more people you have the more stuff your club is capable of! Here are just a few ideas to help recruit members:  

   

  BEFORE BECOMING AN OFFICIAL CLUB

  • VERBAL COMMUNICATION:
    • Ask your teachers if you can make an announcement at the beginning or end of class.
    • Attend meetings of currently active clubs and ask to make an announcement.
    • Attend Student Government, Inter-Club Council, or Petaluma Council meetings and make an announcement during the 'public comment' section of their agenda to announce the club you intend to start.
    • Attend SRJC events and spread the word.
  • DIGITAL COMMUNICATION:
    • Post on the MySRJCApp.
    • Engage with other currently active clubs through their social media

   

  AFTER BECOMING AN OFFICAL CLUB

  • You can continue using the methods above
  • CLUB BENEFITS
    • Create social media for your club.
    • Send items to the ICC Chair to post on Student Life's social media.

• PROMOTE YOUR CLUB

  Getting the word out is an important part of any successful club. Here are just a few ideas to help promote your club: 

   

  RECRUIT MEMBERS:

  • Most of the ideas listed in "Recruit Members" can be used to promote your club. 

   

  CREATE A LOGO:

  • Ask an Art or Marketing Club to make a logo
  • Contact SRJC Graphic Services to create a logo for you. For more information email: printgraphics@santarosa.edu 

   

  SWAG & PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS:

  • Think of creative club-specific items that you could give out or sell (Film Club giving out tickets, etc.)
  • Make buttons! (see "BUTTON MAKER")
  • Work with vendors to make custom promotional materials
  • A list of common Promotional Materials: T-shirts, stickers, sandwich boards, tablecloths, pencils, pens, bumper stickers, and bookmarks.  

• CREATING POSTERS & FLYERS

  OVERVIEW:
  Posters/flyers are a great way to advertize your club. If it's your first time creating a poster/flyer, a couple of standard considerations are to:

  1. Keep things simple, and
  2. Have the main focus readable from a distance.

   

  PHYSICAL RESOURCES:
  If you're looking to create a physical poster, our office has some art supplies left over from previous clubs that you could use. For more information, reach out to the ICC Advisor, Joshua Pinaula: jpinaula@santarosa.edu

   

  ONLINE RESOURCES:
  If you need help creating a poster there are free tools that you can find online, including: Canva and postermywall

   

  OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
  If there's an Art or Design Club that's currently active you may be able to ask them for help. If your club has not already have one, you may think about having a officer in charge of marketing. (Ex. Marketing Director, Social Media Manager: etc.)
