Let's Acquire New Members!

March 10, 2023  /  Leah Malcolm

     Lions of MD36, our four District Governors are united in assisting Clubs in all four districts with increasing their membership.  The Governors obtained a grant from Lions International and they designed aids for that purpose.  The first product you will receive is a yard sign along with the metal stakes.  Each club will receives signs in accordance with the number of members they have recorded with LCI.

     We need all Club Presidents to encourage every member to display the signs.  They can be placed in the yard of their residence, place of business or anywhere they have approval.  Distribution of the product is essential.  A sign was ordered and created for every member of your club.  For this product to be helpful, it must be displayed.  Remember, more Lions results in more service to each community.

     The second product will be bumper magnets for your vehicles.  Again, a resulting increase in membership all depends on the distribution and display of the bumper magnets.

     I applaud DG Kerith Vance, DG David O'Kelly, DG Gail Black and DG Cheri Jackson.  There is constant talk concerning the loss of members since the depletion of membership during COVID.  However, our current District Governors grabbed hold of the issue and designed an innovative solution.  It can only have a positive result with your help.

     Let's use the new tools.  Let's acquire new members to Multiple District 36.

Together We Can!

“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
