GUIDELINES TO NEW ASSOCIATE OF LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT AND CL BARCELOS FERNANDO SILVA * It is up to the sponsor, ie , one that invites a person to join as an associate in their Lions club , the initial responsibility to instruct her properly on the basic operation of the entity and , especially , and because it exists. Not very often we are faced with people who do not know or know very little about the Lions Movement , and the little they know not consistent with reality . Many of these people , when asked to join the Lions come to think of it as a leisure club , or simply as a charity . Wrong ! The Lions is anything but that . Leisure , if we can say so provided by a Lions club , it is basically in fellowship meetings at headquarters houses companions , restaurants , etc. . As for philanthropy, yes we can , exercise it , and we do , in fact , with some regularity , especially individually . However , it is very important to make clear that such a procedure is not the main function of a Lions club . Lions Clubs are service clubs and designated as such , exist to meet the desires and needs of the communities they serve , sticking to the objectives defined by the International Association since its foundation, among them , the third , which makes it clear the purpose of the entity , which is : " be interested actively for the welfare civic, cultural , social and moral welfare of the community ." The new associate or candidate for such, when you receive an invitation to join the Lions , need to know that , before being accepted , he and / or she had his name and his activities in the community discussed and judged by members of the club and , if was approved is because it filled all the basic requirements of the Doctrine Lions . The new associate ( a) need to know , above all, as a companion to ( a) Lion, will have to comply with certain basic obligations , pledging to participate in meetings and activities of your club . Furthermore , from the moment he joined the Lions should be aware that became potentially able to fill the basic requirements to participate in committees and board of directors. Another obligation is assumed that he will have to pay a monthly fee to the club. Yes , although to be joining an organization to volunteer ( a) you have to pay . A Lions Club , as well as other entities , must meet certain financial obligations , necessary for its survival. Are administrative expenses, such as maintenance expenses of your seat , payment of fees to their District and the International Association . It is these that make up the monthly expenses payable by each member . Not part of the objectives of this instruction detailing the whys of Lions district and international rates , but it is very important to make it clear that they are so necessary and essential to the functioning of those sectors as the tuition is for the operation and survival of the club . Thus , as such costs are significant , each member must be current with their tuition , because not doing so, burdens the club that need that feature to also be current with their financial obligations . Finally , it is assumed that the sponsor of the new associate has informed properly and that should know him well , know your personality , so do not be put in motion Lions , a person lacking humanitarian lack of noble sentiments endowed with selfishness and jealousy , which may contribute animosities within the club. One of the items of our code of ethics is quite clear in this regard : " Practicing friendship as an end and not a means , be CAREFUL with my criticism and liberal with my praise ; build and not destroy."
