The needs of others are even greater today than ever before. This is especially true for our elderly and young. No matter how little time, talent, or treasure you have, your service is valued and needed. As a Lion what are you most passionate about? Hunger, Diabetes, Vision, Environment, and/or Childhood Cancer. Do you have a new idea for a service project? Your service makes a difference. Your Story makes a difference. Small acts of kindness such as providing resources for a vision exam and eyeglasses, building a ramp, or providing fleece blankets, help those in need.
Sometimes, we may never know who is at the receiving end of our actions. The key word is action. What are you willing to do in order to keep the Lions relevant? More importantly, what actions are you taking to ensure being a Lion continues to be meaningful to you in your life? I challenge all Lions to “Just Share” what being a Lion has meant to you. “Just Ask” members in your community.
See if they want to help in our mission to meet the needs of others. “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”. (Helen Keller) Find a way and keep Sharing Your Story.
