Effort is the key word here. That is all he and the Pancake Breakfast Committee really want to see from each of their fellow Lions. Each year that I have had the these tickets handed to me, there has been one unsubstantiated rumor after another about the penalties or sanctions that will be placed on Lions that fail to sell any tickets for our fundraiser. The truth is all anyone is ever talking about is the effort expended in doing what you can to support your club, and thereby support community projects and activities. A s with all of our projects, meetings, social occasions and get-togethers, there are some events and days that some times conflict with other scheduled activities in our busy lives.
Circumstance also plays a part here.
Some Lions attend every meeting, while some make a point of attending almost every project, and some make a sincere effort to do both. T he point is we are all doing what we can with what we have. But conditions that are unique to each individual and family means that some Lions will sell a lot of tickets this year, while some will struggle to sell the recommended minimum. The effort is the key however. Expand your options and you can increase your effort.
