Follow by setting your goal, sourcing resources, and any training required. Then develop your action plan.
I envision the Motto of “Learn, Grow and Share” will be used as a template to inspire as many Lions as possible to seek out more training for themselves and participate in a new service project. The sharing will better serve others by growing their clubs in membership and thus provide greater service to their communities.

In Lionism, we accept the many challenges that come as we strive to promote our motto “We Serve”. This year I have chosen for my motto three words that all Lions can use when approaching a challenge, “Learn, Grow and Share” In this, our Centennial year, this approach will help Cabinet officers, Cabinet chairs, Lions, Leos and Lioness clubs succeed in the challenge our Lion International President Bob Corlew has issued in his Motto, to find “New Mountains To Climb”. Learn Find the new mountain, a new community need. Start by doing a Community Needs Assessment.

FREELTON LC ~ COMMUNITY ICE PAD The Freelton Lions have worked for 5 years with the City of Hamilton, Ontario, on the planning and construction of a community ice pad in Freelton Park, together with a field house consisting of storage for a tractor and zamboni and other equipment needed for the care and maintenance of the ice, a change room, which could also be used for meetings and other community purposes, washrooms including one that is handicap accessible, and a snack bar. The ground-breaking finally took place on December 18, 2015, attended by representatives from the City, Stucor the construction company, Chairperson for the project Lion Ken HENDERSON, Freelton Lions Club members, and representatives from the community including young children who are looking forward to skating on it this winter. Charter Member Lion Frank JAMIESON performed the honours with the shovel. For many years he took on the task of making and maintaining a rink for the children every winter. This new facility should extend the skating season when the weather may not be the most co-operative. The project is now almost completed except for finishing touches, and they expect the keys to be turned over to the city in early October. After final inspection and assurance that everything is functioning properly, the Freelton Lions Club looks forward to inviting the community to join them in an open house celebration. The Lions have also upgraded the sign at the Freelton Community Park to an electronic type, which bears the Lions symbol, and “The Freelton Lions Club”. It is being programmed with a series of welcoming messages, and will be used to advertise local community activities. Freelton Lions are proud to complete these projects for LCI’s Centennial Year.
