REINSTATED LIONS SERVICE CREDIT PROGRAM
At its
March 1996 Board Meeting, the International Board of Directors
approved a Reinstated Lions Service Credit Program effective
July 1, 1996. This policy allows Lions who have had previous
breaks in Lions membership to claim their time served and
apply it to their current Lions membership record. This
policy does not apply to former members who were dropped
for non-payment of dues.
To formally
request reinstated Lions service credit, a Lion must complete
the Reinstated Lions Service Credit Form, indicating all
time segments served in good standing. This information
will be matched against International Headquarters' records,
and adjustments to the total years served will be made.
Lions unable to provide specific service dates should give
their best estimates of those dates.
Each
Lion requesting reinstated service credit is asked to complete
a reinstated Lions Service Credit Form either online or
to fill out the paper version of this form and mail or fax
it to Lions Clubs International. Either form must be complete
with signatures or typed names of both the club president
and the club secretary.
Clubs
submitting this form electronically should also submit a
WMMR. Clubs submitting a paper version of this form should
attach the appropriate MMR before mailing. Former Lions
may rejoin a Lions club and then utilize this form to record
prior service. Former Lions rejoining the organization will
be required to pay an Entrance fee of US $25.00.
