Shirley Lions Roar Ahead! 

 
The Magnificant Seven!!!!
 

Like a lot of Clubs, Shirley Lions realised that the average age of the membership was increasing and that following the transfer of two very active members to Shrewsbury Lions a membership drive was required.

The autumn of 2010 saw the Club members undertake a traditional “Yellow Card drop” followed by a “Drinks and Nibbles” evening. Despite having received only 7 cards back we were encouraged by the fact that all 7 attended the “D&N” evening. As all 7 seemed really interested we ensured we maintained contact by inviting them to a number of social events which again all 7 attended. Before long Christmas was upon us and all 7 indicated that they wanted to help on the Father Christmas Sleigh and help out at our New Year party for the elderly of Shirley. The acid test of their first full scale Business meeting came and went and all 7 indicated they wanted to join.

Wednesday 19th January saw Lion President Martin Conlon, assisted by Zone Chairman Andy Luckett and Vice President Anne Carter induct all 7 into Shirley Lions. It seems at a stroke we have gone from 21 to 28 members and with our “magnificent seven” we all forward to being able to achieve so much more in our local community.
