$10, 000. 00 Question If your club had an extra $10, 000. 00 what community need would you want to see fulfilled?

When Ideas Collide Miracles Begin To Happen It is time to ask the community for input A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT!!

A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT • Seeks the input of variety of community leaders • Seeks not only the needs of the community, but also, ways to meet those needs • Requires the Club to “buy into” expanding service projects to meet newly identified needs

Steps to Success • Draft a cover letter (sample available) • Identify Community Leaders to contact

Who Are the Community Leaders?
