District chairpersons are responsible
for project planning
- Begin by setting goals. Evaluate
the effectiveness of current club and
district-level Lions Services for Children
projects. Outline an overall district
plan. Include procedures required for
fulfilling the plan. Submit the plan to
the district governor for approval.
- Communicate these goals and project
ideas to club chairpersons through: an
open letter on the district Web site;
an open letter in the district governor's
newsletter; e-mails; personal letters;
telephone calls; or personal visits.
- Incorporate new project ideas
contributed by clubs. Do not duplicate
local, regional, or national programs.
Work with local health and education professionals
to provide the most appropriate service
to the community.
- Arrange seminars and workshops.
Invite local professionals such as educators,
doctors, and social workers to speak before
Lions club and district events. Seminars
and workshops help motivate clubs to participate
in projects.
- Report activities to the district
cabinet and to the local media through
communications with the district public
relations chairperson. Lions Services
for Children chairpersons are encouraged
to submit reports and photographs of successful
projects to:
