How to start a True Love Revolution Club:

Step One
Check with the principal's office to make sure the club or team you want to start doesn't already exist or if it existed in the past. If it did exist you might be able to find out why it ended.

Step Two
If it doesn't, find out your school's requirements for setting up a new club. Most schools are very welcoming to clubs so the process should not be too hard.

Step Three
Get a sponsor for your group. Usually, a teacher or other school official needs to be responsible for extracurricular student activities. In certain instances the sponsor can either attract or repel possible members so be mindful of who you choose to sponsor your club.

Step Four
Recruit club members. Get permission to post notices announcing your new club around campus, and include a contact person for interested students.

Step Five
Schedule an inaugural meeting to discuss what activities your club will pursue. Use this time to try to focus on a direction of the club so that no one is getting into something they did not plan for.

Step Six
Set up a structure for your club. Elect officers and decide who will be responsible for what. If you are collecting funds you may want to have more than one treasurer so that they can oversee each other's work. It may not be a good idea to place all the funds in the hands of one person.

Step Seven
Make plans to raise any necessary funds. Stamp collectors may have modest financial needs, but a ski club won't get far without cash. Try to get your club sponsored by a local merchant who might stand to benefit from the exposure.

Tips & Warnings
• Make sure you get any necessary permission to meet on school property, as well as permission and/or insurance waivers from club members' parents for athletic activities or trips.
