Editor's Notes
- #2 As we grow in Lionism, we become stronger as individuals and as a group when we fully understand the association, its history and focus, and when we learn how to make the most of our opportunities to serve.
- #6 Ask participants to imagine they are conducting an archaeological expedition sometime in the future and they find these words written on a plaque. What would they think of the people who wrote the statement? Responses will vary but may include that they: Were caring people Put the needs of others ahead of their own needs Sought no reward for their efforts
- #7 Can we accomplish our mission without good leaders? Why?” Responses will vary but may include: Leaders coordinate our actions Leaders motivate Lions Leaders mentor and coach Lions True leaders’ actions provide us with examples we can follow
- #8 Ask participants to form eight groups Assign one of the purposes to each group Inform groups that they will have ten minutes to discuss the purpose assigned to their group. They may use the questions provided as a basis for discussion or develop their own discussion ideas Alert them to be prepared to share their discussions with the entire group.
- #9 Inform groups that they will have ten minutes to create a role play of not more than two minutes in length that can serve as an example of a Lion either practicing or not practicing the specific ethic they have been assigned. Alert them to be prepared to share their scenarios with the entire group.
- #10 Clubs are the heart of Lionism, but clubs are part of a large and widespread association that prospers through communication and cooperation at many levels. Explain that we have all seen graphical interpretations of organizations. Businesses, governments, and clubs create them to show the relationships between different people in the organization and in some cases to indicate job responsibilities. For very large organizations, they may be split into smaller segments for clarity. State that sometimes these are structured organizational charts. Frequently they are organized top down, with the person or persons of most responsibility at the top.
- #12 Conduct a brief brainstorming session on the benefits of Lions membership: Remind participants that benefits are “results that promote well-being or satisfaction.” Ask participants to share what they believe to be the benefits of Lions membership Summarize and list each response on a flipchart Encourage participants to note benefits on page 5 in their Participant Manuals Reinforce the importance of identifying these benefits:
