The Greeter is responsible to warmly welcome guests and members
They are responsible for making all members and guests feel welcomed to the club meeting. As members and guests enter the meeting room, the Greeter greets them. The Greeter shows guests the guest log, gives them a name tag and provides a very high level overview of what will happen so they are comfortable.
This is a good role to take if you are new to the club. It requires little preparation and allows you to meet most members of the club rapidly!
