Membership Initiative

Several years ago Cuyuna Range Lions Club President Lion Jamie Skjeveland challenged the club to participate with him in a Membership drive.
President Lion Jamie set the challenge at nine new members in nine months. That challenge was met and nine new members were installed in 2015.
The membership Initiative continues with the challenge to club members to recruit new members.
Listed below you will find the Lions Club Recruitment Worksheet that Lion Jamie developed to assist club members with recruitment,.
