The Mayflower Society’s Education Committee recognizes that it can sometimes be difficult to come up with new ideas for Member Society Meetings that will keep your members engaged. Below is a wide range of meeting ideas to help keep your meetings fresh and interesting.
Meeting Ideas:
Guest Speakers
Have a guest speaker at your next Society Meeting, either live and in person or via Zoom.
Presentations
The Education Team has built powerpoint presentations on various Mayflower related topics that you are free to explore and use at your next Society Meeting!
Videos
The Mayflower Society now has various educational videos posted on our YouTube Channel that could make for a great way to open or close your meeting. Additionally, the Education Committee has compiled a list of Mayflower-related movies to watch for a fun “movie night” themed meeting.
Activities
Having an activity at a meeting can really help bring members together. Feel free to utilize some of these various Mayflower-themed activities; from games, to art projects, to sing-alongs, to recipes, and more!
Reading Materials
Read-a-Loud sections of suggested books or pamphlets at a meeting for a shared learning experience.
Field Trips
Get together with your member society and plan a field trip to a historic landmark or volunteer together at your local library to educate others about the Mayflower Descendants.
