Suggestions:
Suggested items to be used by the mentor when calling on our new members. You may use these ideas or any other ideas you may deem necessary to benefit the new member. The point of this program is to make becoming a member of the Wally Byam Caravan Club as easy as possible. We must make membership fun, exciting, and interesting. If you any questions or ideas about this program, contact your Region officers.

Some things we can do for new members are:
- Call the new member - make an appointment to visit their home to
answer questions or help them hitch-up, load-up, or anything else to
prepare them for travel.
- Explain the fun things we do at our caravans,
rallies, and luncheons.
- Determine where to rendezvous with
new members for a two trailer caravan to the next rally.
- Help new member with parking and hook ups.
- Personally
escort new members around the rally site and introduce them to others. Most
of all make them welcome.
- Meet the new member, escort them
to dinner, and explain the usual procedures. Be sure to sit with
the new member for a couple of meals so they will be more at ease.
- Standby with the new members and introduce
them again to the entire membership. Be sure to get their names
right.
- Offer
to drive new member on any tour or outing that may be planned at the
rally.
- Make special effort to wish the new member farewell
at the close of the rally.
- Most of all "Ask them to come back."
These (10) points are only guidelines to help new members. Some new members will need less direction and help than others, and some may need even more. Each current WBCCI member will carry out these suggestions differently, depending on their personality.
