The Lions and Leos of Zone 3B which comprise the Lions clubs of Gros Islet, Castries, Piton (Soufriere), Micoud, Vieux Fort and the Leo Club of Castries were hosted by the Lions Club of Gros Islet at the Bay Gardens In on Saturday January 14, 2012. The meeting was to report to the Zone Chairman, Lion Lyndell Gustave on the clubs’ status, projects and activities for the second quarter of the lion’s fiscal year - (October – December 2011).
The reports highlighted the many service and community activities that were undertaken as well as challenges facing the clubs. One common thread was that of membership commitment and growth. In addition to challenging each member to bring in one new member before the end of the lionistic year, some of the strategies reported for dealing with this challenge include – the Leos introducing recognition and motivational awards; The Micoud and Castries lions undertaking reviews and in the case of Micoud a community evaluation is also to be undertaken. The Gros Islet Club to introduce the Buddy system to encourage camaraderie among members and the Vieux Fort club in addition to using its Web-site as a recruitment tool has devoted February for an extensive membership drive.
