Get Back To Respect Of All Lions

February 02, 2022  /  Guest User

     Has your club established procedures for orientating and mentoring new members into your club?  Getting new members and retaining existing members needs to be a priority for club presidents and membership chairs.  We need to create an environment where members, whether new or existing, are made to feel included in all aspects of the club.   

     WE need to get rid of the attitude “We have always done it this way and We have tried that it doesn’t work”.   We need to be willing to listen and consider all options.   We can no longer be the old people clubs, to grow we need to embrace new ideas, new technology, and new ways of doing things.  We need to get back to respect of all Lions.

     Conventions are coming up.  Yes, we are planning an in-person convention this year.   We hope to make this one different and more fun and engaging.   Our Convention will be one day Saturday March 26th with a daytime and evening session.  To include all Lions and meet covid restrictions masks will be required and because of limited venue availability it will not be handicap accessible.  

     For those of you I have not visited I hope to see you soon.

“Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness; no little deaf, blind child untaught; no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you Lions, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind. Will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness?”
— Helen Keller's Speech at 1925 International Convention Cedar Point, Ohio, USA June 30, 1925
