For Our Clubs To Grow We Must Reinvent Ourselves
Change is in the air. I see Lions Clubs Reentering and returning to service in their communities. Not all of them are returning to “Normal.” They are creating a new normal. They are reimagining the way they serve their communities.
We are no longer a group of businessmen serving our communities, we are a diverse group of individuals with a common goal of service. What do Lions’ clubs do? We raise money, then we invest that money into our communities to fund causes to improve the well-being of all our communities.
For our clubs to grow we must reinvent ourselves, look at new ways of doing things. New ways of serving our communities that reflect our community values. As Lion leaders we must find new ways to lead. Change starts from the bottom at the club level. We as Lion leaders are here to support our clubs, to give aid while they define their club their way, their club.
At the club level we have created a code of ethics and a set of bylaws to guide us in the direction of our clubs. We fundraise to support our communities. If we are not reinvesting those funds into our communities, we will not survive as an organization.
