We Can Help You Grow Your Clubs

April 30, 2024  /  Guest User

     We all know what assume means and how much trouble you can get in by assuming and not verifying.  It seems that I assumed that because club officers told me they know how to be a club secretary or president, I didn’t verify.  It seems that even the most seasoned club officers are not aware of some of their duties and responsibilities.

     Club officers know how to do the basics, they know how to run a meeting, they know how to take minutes and how to enter information required by Lions International.  But they are not aware of their responsibilities at the zone, region and district level.

     Club Presidents and Secretary are part of the District Governor’s advisory committee. Their responsibility is to file a report quarterly before each cabinet meeting. This report should contain information on what your club is doing and any support or concerns that your club has.

     This report should be sent to your zone or region chairman. Their responsibility is to put all the reports together and send them to the District Governor and the cabinet. When these reports are received, they can be evaluated, and they can provide the support your club needs.

     This is how we can help you grow your clubs.

Stephen Brewster

District Governor MD36E

“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
