Activities

  • Chair makes a contact with each of the five high schools, usually the Director of Guidance) in Tippecanoe County (Central Catholic, Harrison, Jefferson, McCutcheon, and West Lafayette) and develops a visitation schedule during the academic year that is compatible to Rotary's calendar (Scholarship & Citizenship Program) and each of the high schools' calendar (start of school, Christmas Vacation, semester exams, Spring Vacation, etc.).
  • Chair arranges for a Committee member or Club member to serve as host to two senior high school students each week during the academic year from one of the five high schools in Tippecanoe County. Students are selected by high school officials on the basis of academic performance, extracurricular activities, and other achievements. Host should contact the high school at least one day ahead of the visit to acquire the names of the students and forward the names to the executive director in order to have certificates of attendance typed/signed for presentation at the Tuesday Club meeting.
  • Host arranges transportation for the students and confirms with school officials details about the students' attendance at the Rotary lunch program. Student guests will be waiting at the high school: Pick up is 11:30 a.m. for Central Catholic, Jefferson, and McCutcheon students , and 11:40 a.m. for Harrison and West Lafayette students. Host should use the travel time to: (1) Become better acquainted with the students and to inform them about Rotary; (2) Discuss the student guest program, requesting each student to be prepared to make a brief statement about themselves, i.e., parents and siblings, school activities and awards, hobbies, future educational plans, and other items of interest; and (3) Perhaps provide each with a 3" x 5" card outlining this information for them to use during their presentation.
