Welcome to Magnificent March my Fellow Lions: Expecting The Big Win

February 28, 2022  /  Guest User

What does this mean to you, your club, our District? I know what it means to me:  finding a quality service project, putting together a team and plan to accomplish it; and finding someone new to join in in the fun. Spring is in the air, a time of new growth, a time of renewal, it is the time of planting and cultivating.  March is for Membership growth.

     I know I’ve said this before, but have you asked your neighbor, your friend, your children, your parents, your tax person, your drycleaner, the person you sit next to at church?  Listen.. I could go on and on, but you get the point that if we want to continue to be Lions and help others then we need to continue to grow our clubs. This is the perfect opportunity for new and exciting service, this will bring new members as well as reinvigorate the rest of the club. The water may still be a bit chilly, but the fish are starting to move around. This is your opportunity to Catch the Big One!

     Are you starting to look into the future of your Lion’s career?  Have you been in a leadership position?  Do you want to be?  LCI offers so much leadership training it’s amazing. People pay thousands for the kind of training we have at our fingertips. It’s all online and available to you. We also have a special opportunity for in-person training at the Northwest Lions Leadership Institute April 8-10. This is a great time to hone your skills as a Lion leader. It’s your time to shine and guide us into the future.

     We have a rare happening in our District this month: The Portland Downtown Lions are turning 100 and are celebrating on Mar 12th starting at 5pm.  As one of the oldest Clubs in LCI this a very special thing.  Contact PID Dr. Sunny Pulley for ticket info.

     Is your boat on the water?  Are you fishing?  Every time you go out or get on the phone expect to catch the big one.  The Big Win.  Alone we can do so little, but together we can accomplish anything!  If you need help, ask.  Have you contacted a member you haven’t seen in a while?  If not please do as we need to stick together as Lions.

     Together we Can Catch our Limit.

In your Service DG SuperDoug

“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
