The Lions of our District are solid thinkers and hard workers. Most provide well for their families and some are millionaires. Many stand at the very pinnacle of success in their chosen field. They are Panhandle patricians. This is not abstruse.
Simple analysis reveals the solution.
Folks, we simply cannot continue to operate our clubs and districts the way they were run fifty years ago. We who have led this great association over the last few years have not given our members a sufficiently good reason to rearrange their priorities so that Lions enterprises take precedence over other discretionary activities. When an individual joins a Lions Club, he or she expects some benefits. We lead the new Lion to expect wholesome fun, fulfilling friendships, well-directed activities, and opportunities for accomplishment. Those who experience these advantages of membership become regular participants in meetings and projects.
