1,2,3

Great farmers and great businessmen have at least 3 things in common.

1) They evaluate their enterprise continually and every year,

2) They pay attention to the climate whether it be weather or economic conditions, and

3) They see to it that enough workers are on hand to get the job done.

1, 2 and 3 - year in and year out - season after season - decade after decade.

Great Lions Clubs should and do have their own 1,2,3 systems to get their job done year after year, season after season and decade after decade,

1) Lions leaders and Boards of Directors set up a budget and assign committees to care for traditional service projects.

2) Lion leaders assess new community and regional needs they might address.

3) Great clubs conduct annual membership drives to see that enough members are on hand to get the job of service done.

Lions Club International is in the business of providing tools to help clubs accomplish the 1,2,3s of their business. Think of them like the MacGregor Company or a really tuned in local banker.

My job as 19Fs Global Membership Chair and now as MD19s Global Membership Chair (two hats, one head! The M-guy!!) is to be that guy that that gets those LCI tool into your hands.

At this website link 123MD19.org is your 1,2,3 tool box. During commercials while the game is on today or tonight please take some time to check it out.

Sometimes between now and January's end use a Step 1 tool to evaluate your club.

Then figure out which Step 2 Membership drive you want to conduct from February through April.

If you want a Step 3 Video show to go along with your membership drive let us know. Email liondavidwalk@gmail.com

If you end up using any of these 1,2,3 tools please drop me an email and let me know how it went. I have to keep the tools sharp and the tool box up to date.

Thanks!!!
