Club Events on Meetup

The goal of Meetup is to encourage getting together with real people in real life because it makes powerful things happen. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities. People can select what they’re interested in and find like-minded connections.

District 205 Toastmasters will have four Meetup accounts in which clubs can submit their recurring meetings or special events to our calendar.  

To request VPPR access as an event organizer, please fill and submit this form: https://bit.ly/d4tm-meetup-request. If you still have questions after reviewing the form, please email: pr@d205tm.org.

 

Follow the steps below to join and add events to the Meetup groups. If you’re interested in creating a separate account for your club, see pricing here. 

  1. We recommend that all members of your club join the one of the District 4 sponsored Meetup groups. These individuals will be able to RSVP for their club events and you should have at least 3 people RSVP to any event to ensure posting.
  2. All club VPPR’s are invited to request event organizer access to create, edit, and publish their club meetings and events on the D4TM Meetup group with the understanding that only club VPPR’s will be allowed to have event organizer access and they must limit their use of the site to posting Meetups for their club events and meetings only. Any other communications through the District 4 Meetup groups will require prior approval by the District Public Relations Manager by emailing pr@d4tm.org first.

  4. See below for a checklist of what to include in your Meetup postings. Recurring meetings at the same time can be setup and will appear in the D4TM Meetup calendar.
    • Meetup Name – Name your Meetup in a way that’s succinct, explains the purpose of the Meetup, and most importantly, compels people to show up. Most clubs have something like “XYZ Club Weekly meeting.”
    • When? – Choose a date and start & end time. If you want this Meetup to be a recurring series, select from the menu how often you’d like the Meetup to happen. (Every Tuesday, 1st and 3rd Wed, etc.)
    • Where? – Include the full location address and any special instructions to access the meeting space.
    • Meetup Details – A short blurb about your club. Website URL &/or contact email.
    • Photos – this is optional but can really make your Meetup post pop if you upload a fun photo of your club.
    • Preview and then Publish your Meetup to post it.
    • Send the link of your Meetup post to your club and invite members to RSVP
  5. The District Public Relations Manager will periodically review postings to ensure accuracy and appropriateness of postings to the group.

NOTE: It is not recommended that clubs include Zoom meeting links in the District sponsored or personal Meetup accounts.  Instead, it’s recommended that you provide an email address to request the link.
