Since 1917, local Lions clubs
have offered people just like you the opportunity to give something
back to their community. Today, with over 1.4 million men and
women, in almost 45,000 Lions Clubs, in more than 180 countries,
Lions have expanded their focus to help meet the ever-increasing
needs of our society. You can be one of them, by being one of
us. As a member of the Coon Rapids Lions Club, you will become
more aware of the needs of our community and have the advantage
of effectively making a difference. Our Club provides volunteers
with project management assistance, group leadership, personal
development opportunities, and organizing fundraising activities.
Being a Lion empowers you to help others in a way that no one
person could do alone. Regardless of the country or language
of your origin, your culture, race, religion, job, or the politics
you espouse, we are all alike in that Lions are dedicated to
seeking out and helping those in need. So, we want you! Now
more than ever, people with vision and hearing problems, our
senior community, the activities of our youth and schools and
the disadvantaged here in Coon Rapids and around the world need
your help. You can make a positive difference. By participating
in our Coon Rapids Lions Club, you can help meet the pressing
needs right here in Coon Rapids, in our State, our Nation and
indeed around the world.

As you
become active and more knowledgeable about the needs of your community,
through your association with the Coon Rapids Lions Club, you
will be able to share your experience and pride of accomplishment
with your friends and family. Few things can be as gratifying
as bringing another person into your community of service. The
person who gave you this brochure believes that you are the kind
of person who could be a great asset to our Coon Rapids community
that you have within you just the “right stuff” to be another
Lion volunteer who will make a positive difference for the community
that has benefited you and your family. You don’t have to do everything!
A Lion will sponsor you and mentor you. This Lion will work with
you and help you find an immediate niche for your talent and available
time. Start out with some activity that suits your interests.
From there, the world of Lionism awaits your personal motivation
and capacity. Through Club activities and meetings you will receive
the inspiration you need to move forward to help your community.
Start small. But, Just become a Volunteer! now, so that you can
start making a difference today.
