Our theme this year and the goal for every club in our multiple district is to end the 2005-2006 Lion year with a minimum "net gain" of Plus one. The achievement of this goal will add 198 members to our multiple District and 396 hands to help the less fortunate.  We can do it and here is how. 1. Stop the drops 2. Develop a membership plan 3. Actively recruit.  Our International President, Dr. Ashok Mehta, has emphasized the importance of membership growth under his Passion to Grow initiative of the Passion to Excel presidential program.  The program features a number of awards to recognize both clubs and districts that achieve membership growth.  Lets make the 2005-2006 Lions membership year the best ever in membership growth that results in more members to help on projects that provides the resources to help  more people in need.
