These checklists can be useful to assess the overall development in your community. Change and growth can take place, or may be lacking, in different aspects of community e.g. educationally, socially, physically, spiritually or economically to name a few. A check list may show up the growth or the lack in an area. Action can then be generated to change the situation and work towards balance.

In order to get started copy one of the checklists and bring it to your committee, club or group for discussion. Generate a discussion always asking yourself: “How are we doing in this aspect in our community?” Make sure you appoint a capable leader and a secretary to record ideas. When you decide to use a checklist from us, please, let us know by email, programs@csscanada.com your name, organization, address and purpose. It will give us an idea how useful they are. We also would appreciate your feedback, questions and suggestions.
