Ask Someone To Join And To Serve

     Convention time is very near.  Please support your District Governor by going to your district’s convention.  We need you there.  Some of the things you can learn would be: solving difficult situations, getting new ideas for new projects, new friendships, and just plain having some fun.  Come enjoy and learn.

     I’m so happy to see New Members, at the club meetings I’ve gone to.  At a visitation yesterday, while enjoying our meal, a young man walked in and asked if this was the Lions Club.  After assuring him that it was he said he wanted to join so he could help serve the community.  No one had asked him -- he just knew about what Lions do.  I know it’s not always that easy, but sometimes it is.

     Be thinking of ways to invite new possible members.  Remember being seen in public doing needed services, wearing our vests is a big plus for encouraging new members.  Our opportunities are many if we remember who we are and what we do.

     I also want to mention that it is not just about how much money you can raise -- it’s also how we help with the needs of the community.  We should also consider helping each other.  After all we are not in competition with each other.  We all have the same goals, which is SERVICE.

     Please keep in mind to ask someone to join, and to serve, .. how easy is that.

District Governor Kathy Oliver

“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
