WHAT'S IN YOUR CLUB'S NEW MEMBER PACKET!
District 2-E2 is continuing to grow thanks to your dedication to Lionism. However, have you thought about how long it takes for your new members to get involved in Club Activities?
LCI provides a great New Member Packet, but does that packet provide information they need to get involved in Your Club?
Do your new members know who to contact when they want to get involved?
- Committee/Fundraising Chairs
- Board of Directors - Especially your Secretary's Contact Info
- Other Club Members
- Club Social Media Sites
- District 2-E2 and LCI Information
- The Acronyms will drive a new member crazy trying to figure those out!
Lion Deb's Personal Story: I've belonged to two Lions Clubs in 2-E2, one with very few members and one with a lot of members. I attended all the meetings for weeks before figuring out who to contact to get involved beyond attending meetings.
Oh, the Presidents did a great job talking about all the opportunities to get involved, and one had Committee Chairs make announcements, but for those of us who were new to Lions or to the community, the meetings moved so rapidly, and at the end of the meeting people were on their way out the door to start their day.
I was fortunate to have good sponsors/mentors, but after a while, I was embarrassed having to go through them every time I had a question (I'm not the "sit around and wait for things to fall in my lap" kind of person). Then I learned how to ask the right questions.
"Just Ask!" There's a lot to be said for that phrase. As a result, our
new members now get a "Club Packet" in their New Member Packet.
If you would like to hear more about the "Club Packet" join us for the Marketing 101 Zoom Meeting on March 20th. I'll even share the Club Packet Document to make your job easier!"
