Help All You Can And Do It From The Heart

October 2021 - Lions Magazine

     Hello again fellow Lions.   Everyone is back from vacation.  School has started.  Things are getting back to our new normal.

     In looking at membership reports, it is sad to see clubs folding and members leaving.  We are an awesome organization and need to really buckle down and see what needs to be done to change this situation.  I realize we are tired of masks, social distancing and some don’t want one more zoom meeting.  Regardless, we need to be out there saving clubs and members.  We have help available for beginning new clubs, reviving old ones, and brining in new members.  There are many ways to bring in new members.

     I have found lots of ideas in the older Lions magazines.  The projects other clubs do can work for you too.  Maybe you have to tweak it a little for your area.  But, keep your eyes and ears open for what might work for you.

     Here’s are a few ideas:  Summer breakfasts in the park, honoring our heroes, clean-up day, planting trees, Christmas opportunities to raise money and help the unfortunate, asking at the grade schools about helping with reading, fireworks stands, basketball tournaments, parades, random acts of kindness.  I could go on but I’m sure you get the idea.  Remember to thank your community for their support, and include your community in an effort to gain members.  Help all you can and do it from the heart.
