This 2010-2011 year we need to think positive and work hard on MEMBERSHIP. My goal is to have an Excellence Program to get several people in our District to become Guiding Lions. Then we need to work on getting two if not more new clubs in our District. We have this last month slid backwards and are below 1250 unless several clubs gained several new members in June, 2010. Remember we are rural farming mostly with many little towns, schools are merging together and our clubs have an age factor. Our youth are the future. We the Lions have to use our imagination and do some fun community projects with the community and get them involved with us. If something works for you. Let the other clubs know. Maybe several clubs can get together and do a community project. I know do to our ages it is difficult for some of us.

9NW Convention Is October 22, 23, 2010 at the Carrollton Inn, Carroll, Iowa. It is on HWY 71 and 18th Street. Registration will be in the August Iowa Lions Magazine. Send your registration to Wayne Ehret, 2900 W. Main St, Sac City, Iowa, 50583

Also Club Banners are important to bring to the convention. If one person from each club came and brought their LIONS CLUB BANNER it would be something if our District has never done. I'm looking for a GREAT turn out as the word is if we don't we will have to go back to having our CONVENTIONS in the Spring. Lets show the other Districts we can do it. Wouldn't be nice when we have Roll Call we would have 100% instead of five or six? LET'S DO IT. REMEMBER. Every one of us are membership chairperons.

OUR MOTTO IS: WE SERVE!
