District Deputy's Materials

• Web-based training for District Deputies - Requires flash and works best with a high speed connection.
• Activity Planner - The spreadsheet includes a planner that District Deputies can use to track the activities in each of their councils. This tool is helpful for identifying councils that may be in trouble or simply are looking for additional activities. It also may stimulate the exchange of ideas among other Grand Knights.

PSD Richard Makinster: Activity Based Recruiting

In 1999-2000 I was membership director of 5390. At each monthly meeting each member present was given two activity forms and a Form 100. They were to give one to a prospect and go over the activities with them. 58 men joined 5390 that year. 12 knights recruited their first member.

The activity form gave the member confidence to invite men to join them and the prospect a reason to join. We held a 1st Degree before every council meeting and a few extra ones for those who worked evenings or were doing all three Degrees on a Sunday.

When the prospects joined, we went over the activity form and had them check off the areas they would like to participate in. Also list their wives and kids in some of the projects. They were to be called when that activity came up.

The other thing that I would stress is that perhaps the most important thing recruiting at any activity is to have plenty of KCs inviting men to join as they enter and leave the church or parish hall. Brother Knights should give those interested, Form 921A (921A-S Spanish) and have them print their name and phone number and continue inviting those passing by. Then follow up by contacting that man right away.
