Frequently Asked Questions about Membership

 

What is the Lion’s Club?

           Founded in 1917, the Lions Club is a global service organization dedicated to meeting the needs of their local communities.  

·         While Lions clubs are best known for their initiatives to serve the blind and visually impaired, our 1.4 million members are also committed

           to youth programs and helping people with special needs around the globe.

.

 

Who can become a member?

·        Membership is open to both men and women in the local community.

            To better understand our purpose, we encourage prospective members to attend two meetings prior to submitting an application for membership.

            You will be our guest for one dinner meeting.

 

When are the club’s meetings?

·          Dinner Meetings, with a speaker, are on the first Tuesday of each month.  These meetings are at the Water Street Landing restaurant, at 115 South Water Street in Lewiston.  

          Each member is responsible for his/her own menu selections.

·         Membership meetings, during which most of the business of the club is conducted, are held on the third Tuesday of each month in Rivershore, Inc.’s board room at 765 Cayuga Street in Lewiston.

·         Committee Meetings are scheduled to accommodate the participants’ availability.

 

Are members required to attend all meetings?

·         Your ideas and input are appreciated, so attendance at a minimum of three meetings during the Lions year is expected.  These can be dinner, membership or committee meetings.

·         Many hands make the job easier, and more fun, so your participation in club projects is strongly encouraged.

 

How much does membership cost?

·         There is a one-time initiation fee of $25 per person that goes to the Lions Club International.

·         Annual dues are $75 for an individual and $125 for a couple.  The Lions Club year runs from July 1 through June 30, and the first year’s dues are prorated to reflect when the applicant joins.

 

Are there any additional fees?

·         Each member is responsible for the cost of his/her own restaurant check at Dinner Meetings.

·         The club’s Tail Twister may collect fines of 25 cents at Dinner Meetings for actual or imaginary rule transgressions. This is meant in good fun, and no member may be fined more than two dollars during any one meeting. 

·         Raffle tickets are sold and prizes are redeemed at most Dinner Meetings. Purchase is not required.
