Did you recently sponsor a new member?

Sponsorship is an Important Responsibility. Lions Clubs International is a strong organization with a proud history of accomplishment. At the core of this success are dedicated club members who devote their time and attention to serving their communities. To continue to maintain the organization’s record of achievement all Lions in your club must attract and sponsor new club members.

A sponsor’s responsibilities do not end when a prospect is inducted as a member. Helping them

grow in the organization means they will stay a member. As a mentor you should:

• Continue to introduce the new member to Lions they have not met, helping them feel part of the group. 
• Offer to accompany them to meetings. Stay in touch. Make sure that they are allowed to express their thoughts and ideas. 
• Serve as a source of inspiration and advice. 
• Encourage the Lion that you sponsored to be active and to live up to the Lions’ motto

Acknowledgment of 50 years of service

Last night, on Friday 11 September the Mayor Ald. Lynn Laycock hosted a Civic Reception at the Devonport Council Chambers in appreciation of 50 years of service to the community. It was well attended by the members as well as other VIPs from the area and the council. Pictured above is the Mayor with our Club President Jim Pearson on the left and Founding member George Russell smiling on the right. Most members continued festivities at La Porchetta around the corner!
