LET'S ENGAGE OTHERS TO HELP WITH OUR CAUSES

November 22, 2023  /  Leah Malcolm

     How do we keep and attract new members?  We do this by Serving our communities in multiple ways.  We have 8 global causes that we have taken up.  These causes attract a wide range of potential and current members with varied interests.  As a club you can do small service projects each month focusing on one cause a month, or several major projects over a longer period of time.

     People are more likely to join you If they relate to your community service.  Many people only see us out there when we are fundraising.  We need to show them what we are doing for our communities and engage others to help with our causes.

     Only by seeking out our community needs and working to fulfill those needs will we be able to attract and retain members.

“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
