- CUSTOMIZE SLIDE WITH NAME OF CLUB “ Welcome. We’re glad you joined our club.”
- “Lions International has an impressive history. While our club directly impacts our community, there are more than 44,600 clubs worldwide doing the same. Together, our efforts are changing the world we live in. Our organizational impact includes:
- “But the club is the basic unit of Lions. Everything we do starts with the club. We are developing leaders in community through our club. Our community service takes place through our club. The fellowship we enjoy begins in our club.”
- “Our club is 80 years old.” (INSERT HISTRORY OF CLUB) (INSERT DESCRIPTION OF CLUB MEMBERSHIP) “Our meetings are held…” (INSERT MEETING INFORMATION AND PROVIDE DESCRIPTION OF MEETINGS)
- (Explain that officers change with each administrative year, which begins July 1. ) The new president has already done the biggest job in the club when they are Head Wrangler. Explain a little about Head Wrangler but discuss Dogie Days more later.
- “Our club does much of its work through committees. These committees provide opportunities for participation and leadership.” (Describe what each committee does. Encourage new members to find a committee that is of interest to them and encourage them to participate.)
- Committees provide opportunities for participation and leadership. Hint: You might change this slide to reflect all of the club’s committees and their current leaders. These are the standard committees listed in the bylaws—larger clubs may have more so everyone can be active; some small clubs combine or prioritize these committees. The focus should not be on the number or name of the committees, but rather on the work the club needs/wants to accomplish. Describe what each committee does. Club committees are where the work gets done and relationships are forged. Encourage new members to find a committee that is of interest to them and encourage them to participate.
- (DISCUSS THE BENEFITS OF BEING A MEMBER)
- (SET A REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF WHAT’S BEING ASKED OF THE NEW MEMBER.)
- (PROVIDE A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS STRUCTURE.
- “In the United States, Lions clubs are classified as 501c (4) and dues/donations are not tax deductible as a charitable contribution. Some clubs have 501c (3) foundations that can accept tax deductible contributions. “ International has a foundation that is such. (Briefly describe the finances of the club and share whether or not the club has a foundation.)
- Dogie Days is the biggest fund raiser for a club our size.
