IT'S TIME TO SET GOALS FOR THE FUTURE OF YOUR CLUBS!

December 23, 2023  /  Leah Malcolm

     January is the time to set New Year’s resolutions and the time to set goals for the future of your clubs.  As district officers, it is incumbent upon us to establish and articulate goals for our district, charting a course for their achievement. Our focus is on fostering growth within the district and enhancing the overall quality of Lions Clubs within our district.

     Clubs in our district are encouraged to define their unique goals, encompassing objectives such as membership expansion, heightened community visibility, and proactive engagement in addressing local needs.  To meet these goals, we need to determine the needs of the community and how these needs can be met by our club.  Identifying prospective Lions to join our ranks is equally crucial, necessitating thoughtful approaches to attract and integrate them into our clubs.

     Lions International offers valuable programs designed to assist clubs in assessing their strengths and weaknesses.  They can also provide insights on effective member recruitment strategies. Additionally, our dedicated Lions within the district cabinet stand ready to offer guidance, ensuring your club realizes its full potential. As your District Governor I am also at your disposal and ready to be called upon for support as you strive to elevate your club to new heights.

 

Steve Brewster, DG MD36-E

“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
