[Nfb-lions] Hello

Sat Jun 22 00:32:57 UTC 2013

There are some clubs made up of members at large.  In Idaho there is 
something we call the scholarship club.  It meets once a year at state 
conventions.  I think there may be something like this in Montana.  Milton 
Ota is better with the Web Site than I am.  If you are interested, you or 
Milton can look at the Lionsclubs.org Web Site.  If there is some other club 
in your area you like better, it is the Lions' loss.  I don't know of any 
rule about helping people get to meetings.  I have not heard of this 
particular situation before, but Lions are human, and of course, there can 
be some who are not as accommodating as others.  I know a couple of small 
clubs that just want to exist the way they have for decades and have nothing 
to do with anybody else.  The vast majority are trying to change with the 
times, but inevitably not all.
