Hello My Fellow Lion’s and Welcome to Nudge November

When?

     As we head into the holiday season and get very busy with friends and family we are going to look at “when” is a good time to fish for new Lions. Do you only fish when the weather is just right? You have the perfect gear? Is the tide in or out? Or do you go out when a storm is coming, the wind is up, and the waves are splashing at your feet? Your gear is tattered… but you always keep your hook sharp. Or do we fish whenever there is a moment in our lives that we can scratch out a little time no matter what the conditions are?  The funny and fun thing is there is no right or wrong answer. The real question is, are you using your talents? The When is now.

     November is Diabetes awareness month. I propose we collect Dollars for Diabetes, that’s what we’ll be focused on in District O. So during your coat, sock, blanket and canned food drives let’s be looking for corporate sponsors (if you don’t ask you won’t get).

     “When” is when we make a moment in our busy lives to help others.  When we are out and about is a great time to invite someone new. If you don’t throw your line in the water, you won’t catch the big one. Even if you are at home, you could be emailing your contacts or on Next Door or FaceBook talking about what your club is up to and what you just did. Post pictures on Instagram of the pair of glasses you got for someone in need. Make a video and put it on YouTube of your club picking up trash (oh and get a corporate sponsor for the dumpster) or just giving a coat to a child. We can all use our free time wisely and help the next generation to do the same thing. If we add fulfilling things to our lives, there is no need to escape.

     Together if We each One Reach One We can Catch our limit!
