But I believe that principle also applies to Lions. We must keep moving forward. We Lions need motion and energy. We need dynamic progress. Life is always changing and always evolving. We need to push ahead. We need to Move to Grow. SERVING In 2009-2010 we Lions need to grow our membership. The Global Membership Team is leading the charge. Lions leaders are focusing on TOGETHER many parts of the world especially Eastern Europe. We have just 11,000 MESSAGE FROM Lions there but have carved out four geographic areas where we expect MESSAGE FROM to see significant growth during the next three to five years. THE PRESIDENT But every club and every Lion has to help boost membership. Perhaps the best place to start is within your own home. We often don’t invite our spouse to share the privilege and joy of being a Lion. Let’s continue to invite women and families in general to join. Two decades ago we had no female Lions. Today they are the fastest growing segment of our organization. We have nearly 260,000 female Lions, about 20 percent of all Lions. But we need to specifically target women because we need them. We also need to better engage youths in community service. We have programs attractive to youths such as Youth Camps and Exchange, the Peace Poster Contest and Lions Quest. Let’s make these programs more visible and more available.
