Review of Objectives• All Lions Clubs are Unique.• The Lions Leaders needs to be prepared and want to take on

the position. Have a plan.• Members need to set goals, communicate and work together

as a team. Most of all be energetic, be positive and have fun.

• Membership should be the responsibility of the whole club.• Club meetings need to keep business to a minimum and

have fun (there’s that word again).• Lions clubs need to have at least 4 projects and need to be

able to create the money to carry these projects with good fundraisers.

• Set Goals and don’t let them fade away.10
