GLOBAL ACTION TEAM UPDATE

….where tree tops glisten and Lions listen……
GET: NICE LIST

“Leave your footprints in the snow….where they’ll lead, we may never know.”

EXTENSION AND RETENTION IS EVERY CLUB’S BUSINESS

(Check “The Nice List” below)
Every Club must concentrate on increasing membership because membership is every Lion’s business.

Besides supervising the entire committee, the Membership Chair must focus on extension. They must “keep an eye” on the
