     DISTRICT N-2 PRIORITIES AND GOALS 2009-2010

     

    PRIORITIES:

     

    1) To increase district N2 club membership by building a firm relationship between each district in the Atlantic Provinces to ensure our District N2 members we are working as a TEAM with the same common goals.

     

    2) Due to the decline in our membership over the past 10 years, we need to see strong growth by forming  Branch Clubs and new Charter Clubs over the next 5 to 10 years in order to maintain the great volunteering work we do,

                      

    3) We need a strong effort on the part of N2 MERL Team, 1st VDG, 2nd VDG, Zone Chairs, Club Membership Chairs, Club Presidents and the PDG Committee to develop some new ideas in order to move forward by:

    a)  Forming one new Charter Club and one New Branch Club during 2009-2010 and;

    b)  Increasing our membership with new members by more than 207 to maintain our present level of 1821, because during 2008-2009 there was a lost of 207 members.

                                                           

    4) It will be necessary to have a much stronger effort in order to build up the weaker club’s membership this year which can only be done if we work together as a TEAM.

                                    

    NOTE: There was an open discussion during my training for DG concerning membership. It was suggested the District Governors make sure we used everyone’s skills, knowledge and experience to work toward with the same common GOALS.

     

    Our International President’s THEME is:  MOVE TO GROW

     

    OTHER GOALS: 


     1. Strengthen leadership by providing more training at the club level 
     2. Increase growth by promoting LIONISM, and fellowship with harmony.  

     3. Operate as a District TEAM. 
     5. Work towards more positive relations with Multiple District N.
     6. Support the MD Regional Leadership Institute. 
     7. Promote the Global Membership & District MERL Teams. 
     8. Promote Lions Foundation of
    Canada

    District Governor's Newsletter

    February 2010

    2009-10 Theme: “Flying High With Lionism,”

     

    Dear Fellow Lions:

     

    I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you in District N-2 for your out-standing Volunteering in Lionism during 2009 and also I thank your family members and the public for their kindness and support.

     

    As well, I would like to thank all Lion Club members for their out-standing support by continuing to build membership by working together as a TEAM for the same common goal.  Our success depends on everyone's willingness to follow our motto “We Serve.”

     

    At the present time, I am proud to say that every Lions Club in District N-2 is volunteering with N0 out-standing membership issues. That is a very positive step forward and our district should see a greater growth in membership which will improve our District N-2's motivation, unity, dedication, attitude and trust by using our Code of Ethic with understanding “To be careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise, build up and not destroy”.

     

    As your District Governor, I respect the Lion volunteers for focusing on only positive issues at both club  and district levels, and not letting negatively become a over powering issue.

     

    Therefore, I ask all Lions to stand proud and work towards building a stronger District N-2 with the same positive attitude as that of our founder Melvin Jones in 1917.

     

    I ask all Lion volunteers to try to improve our Lions image by improving public relations. This not only makes your club more visible, but also lifts morale.  Use the tools that are available to Lions: such as Web Sites, LCIF to download programs, newspapers, radio etc.  Keeping the lines of communication open, letting the public know about what your club has done in the past, and informing them of what events are coming on stream, gives Lion members the recognition they deserve.   Maybe your club could use a facelift and bring new life, fellowship and team work while you are volunteering in Lionism.

     

    Remember, Lions are volunteers and are paid by these two words "THANK YOU".

     

    Yours in Lionism
