Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance
While this particular functionary role is not common to all clubs, it is customary at some clubs to begin each meeting with a brief prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Prior to the meeting:
· Prepare a brief description of your role (it can be as simple as the preceding sentence).
· You may wish to rehearse a prayer, or you may wish to lead "off the cuff."
During the meeting:
· When called upon by the General Evaluator, assume your position at the lectern.
· Invite those who are comfortable doing so to join you in a brief prayer (this will help take the pressure off your guests who may not be accustomed to praying).
· Immediately following the prayer, ask the group to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
· When finished, return control of the meeting to the Toastmaster. |
