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!!!
