Clubs are urged to appoint or elect a club member to become their Club Service Chairperson (CSC). This Lion becomes a member of the Global Service Team and has the ability to submit club service activities within MyLCI. The Club Service Chair provides the following benefits to a Lions club:

• Takes the service activity reporting burden away from secretary.
• Allows another Lion upward mobility into a leadership role in the club.
• Encourages creation of new service opportunities. (Coming soon are a new series of Lions International grants designed specifically for clubs. Plans for these grants are currently being finalized. Initial word is these grants are independant of all other District grants and are designed to match club funds for maximum local impact.)
• Directly receive new resources and ideas from LCI.

Current Resources for the CSC include: oCSC e-book and CSC webpage.

Wherever you go, LION Magazine is already there.

Best regards, Your LION Magazine Team

Club Activity Reports, You, and Lions International

LCI Forward provides a strategic framework to help clubs to strive for excellence. This plan was developed by the Long Range Planning Committee of the International Board of Directors and guided by the association’s vision statement “To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service”.

It is a platform for action that will help your club develop priorities to significantly expand humanitarian service, improve current operations, and pursue new ways to unite people in Lions’ service. LCI can give us this vision, but it takes application at the club level to make the vision a reality.

The primary goal is to improve the lives of at least 200 million per year by FY 2020-21
through expanded humanitarian service – tripling of our service – as measured through the Service Activity Report system. This is important to Lions because activities reported by clubs increase the ability of Lions to forge strategic partnerships with other organizations. This will accomplish more for those in need all around the world and in your back yard!

Dear Lion Leaders:

I would like to personally invite you to attend the Global Action Team’s upcoming service webinar! This event will focus on the importance of electing a Club Service Chairperson and the value of reporting your service.

RSVP TO THIS EXCITING WEBINAR NOW! 

Join us on Tuesday, March 27, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time for “The Value of Service.” This webinar will offer Lions a better understanding of why every service project counts and why reporting these projects matters to Lions worldwide. Learn about the benefits of electing a Club Service Chairperson to lead your club in innovative service opportunities.

To kick off Lions Clubs International’s next century, we are putting service at the forefront of our organization. With the help of the newly established Global Service Team, Lions everywhere can learn about our global causes and implement creative and hands-on service projects that align with these causes.

We look forward to discussing the value of service with you.

Sincerely, PID Dr. Eugene Spiess, Constitutional Area 1 GST Leader
