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.
- #5 Lions Clubs International began as the dream of Melvin Jones, an American businessman who belonged to a club named the Business Circle of Chicago. Melvin Jones believed that local business clubs should expand from purely professional concerns to focus on working for the betterment of their communities. In 1917, he contacted members of similar independent organizations around the country and invited them to a meeting. Most agreed to merge as one association of clubs, and they took the name of the largest group, the Indiana-based Association of Lions Clubs. The first convention was held in October of that year in Dallas, Texas, USA, where the constitution was adopted and the first president, Dr. W.P. Woods, was elected. Jones was elected secretary, beginning a 44-year career with the organization. Melvin Jones explained his reasoning for the concept of service to the community with the saying, “You can’t get very far until you start doing something for someone else.” For over 90 years Lions around the world have proven Jones’ saying to be true by serving local, national, and global communities.
- #6 In 1920, the Association of Lions Clubs was established internationally when the first club in Canada was chartered in Windsor, Ontario. Today, Lions Clubs International has over 1.4 million members in over 200 countries and geographical areas around world.
- #8 Helen Keller was an American author and lecturer, who overcame considerable physical handicaps and served as an inspiration for other disabled people. When she was 19 months old, she was stricken with an acute illness that left her deaf and blind. She overcame these setbacks to earn a college degree with honors. An early milestone in Lions’ history occurred in 1925 when Helen Keller addressed the organization at the International Convention in Ohio, USA. She challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." Since this historic event in 1925, Lions Clubs International has been committed to ridding the world of preventable and reversible blindness and providing services for people who are already blind or visually impaired.
- #21 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
- #23 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.
- #34 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.
- #50 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.
- #51 An important part of being a Lion is understanding how Lions Clubs International is organized. The organization of Lions Clubs International begins with you, the member, and with your club. But like all large organizations, there are a number of levels within the organization, each of which supports the others.
- #53 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:
