Welcome all
Lions to the Multiple District 27 E2 Website! We’re so
glad you decided to visit us! Feel free to browse!
The Lions in
this District are 1894 members strong, with 4 Regions, 9
Zones, and 51 Clubs (one branch club)! We also are
privileged
to have 2 Lioness Clubs, and 1 Leo Club.
Our District
is located in the Western part of Wisconsin, and
includes the following 8 counties: Buffalo, Dunn, Eau
Claire, Jackson, Pepin, Pierce, St. Croix and
Trempealeau.
Note: Our
goal is to make the website friendlier and easier to get
questions answered. Please check back to see changes
that will be made in the near future.
My
theme this year is
Fishing for Lions.
This also coincides
with our International Presidents theme of
Beacon of
Hope
which was introduced for this Lions year by our
President Sid L. Scruggs III. As light houses were used
on the shore lines to warn ships of rocks and to guide
them to safety (both merchant and fishing) for a journey
coming to an end. The same is true when
Fishing
for Lions.
If you prepare properly your chances of picking up new
members and growing your club becomes easier.
I do a lot of wishing and I find that to be a successful
fisherman you need to do your homework and it will make
it much easier. You can go fishing sit on the bank with
worms and catch some fish. The same is true with lions,
you can ask people to become members have fun and get a
few members which is good, but with a little planning we
as a group can start a new club or reenergize our own
club. You take the same steps in fishing that you do in
finding new lions or just getting current lions to
relight that spark that keeps us wanting to help those
less fortunate than yourselves.
Here are some ways in which fishing and lions are very
similar weather it’s trying to start a new lions club or
reenergizing an existing club:
