Dear Lion Leaders,
I'm sharing a message sent to all district governors. I'm asking district governors to
continue focusing their efforts on chartering new clubs, inviting new members and
increasing membership satisfaction in their clubs. I'm also encouraging leaders to
promote service as a way to engage existing members and help find new ones. Please
work with your district governor on these important efforts to strengthen our
membership in all of our districts.
Together in service,
Dear District Governor,
Joe Preston
Your International President
We set out to accomplish great things this year by setting a goal to grow membership in each of our districts. In order to achieve our
goals, we will need to keep working hard over the next six months.
I'm asking each of you to stay focused on the key action steps that will help you achieve your goals and earn your recognition in
Period 2 of the Lions Pride Award:
Start One is more than a slogan. It's the key to positive growth in your district. It's also the key to maximizing your
recognition in the Lions Pride Award. So Start One club to earn a paw for your pin, and we'll share your photo on the
Lions Pride website!
Ask One. It takes a great leader to strengthen a district, but it takes active members to strengthen a club. Keep
encouraging your clubs to invite new members, and remind Lions that it's the responsibility of all members to Ask One
friend or family member to join the club.
Keep One. Inviting new members is critical to club growth, but keeping existing members is just as important. Make
sure your clubs are using great tools like the Membership Satisfaction Guide, New Member Orientation and the Lions
Mentoring Program to increase membership satisfaction and keep all members happy.
Remember, our year to lead is more than half way over, so do everything you can as district governor to strengthen
your district!
Together in service,
Lions Pride Award

Ask One!
Just imagine if every one of our 1.35 million Lions asked
one person to join their club. Imagine the huge impact it
would have on membership growth and the amount of
service we can provide.
It starts by inviting one friend, one neighbor or one family
member to join. Give them the opportunity to be a Lion,
and give your club the opportunity to grow. Click the Ask1
