Sharing out an amazing opportunity from District 4-C5! All Lions are welcome. Help them fill 100 seats. Contact to register today!

🐾 PAWsitive Marketeer Office Hours
Topic: How to Market a Club Event
📅 Tuesday, October 13
⏰ 6:30–8:00 PM
💻 Via Zoom
To reserve a spot: Email [email protected] with your full name and the Lions Club you are representing.

This will be a hands-on training session where I will walk participants through the steps of marketing a club event, from identifying their target audience and developing their message to determining where, when, and how to promote their events. We will also work through creating a marketing plan that clubs can take back and use for their own upcoming events.

The session is designed for club and district marketing chairs, event chairs, social media administrators, communications chairs, club officers, and anyone involved in planning or promoting club events.

We have a capacity of 100 participants, and I would love to fill those seats with Lions who need and want this training!

Oops we’re 5 hours and 5 minutes late but never the less… It’s 26 WINSDAY: INVITE THEM IN!

This week’s easy win: Invite the public to at least ONE service project every month.

Don’t market a meeting. Market an experience.

Show people what they’ll do, who they’ll help, and why it matters—then give them a clear invitation to join you.

One project. One public invitation. Every month.

Let your community experience Lions service before you ever ask them to become a Lion.

Make friends first. Inspire service second. Membership naturally follows.

Got to love the MD4 access team! Thank you Lion Kendra Bamba for helping spread the word.

🦁 California Lions Jennifer Gass, Donna Rollins and Kendra Bamba bring this “Patchwork of Purpose” project to life in a short YouTube video sure to inspire your inner artist! Sewing pros can send us a finished 6” x 6” square with an extra 1/4” border beyond the seem; anyone can decorate a 6” x 6” area inside an 8” x 8” square and send it to our team to trim and finish for adding to the quilt.

🪡 Create and submit a tactile quilt square and become part of the story! Nominate Blind and low vision individuals in your community who are making a difference to be recognized. Please follow the link for the complete project packet to learn more, and reach out with any questions. Thank you for your support!

California Lions Clubs

MEET THE NEW e-CLUBHOUSE 2.0

Does your Lions club currently use an e-Clubhouse website? There are important changes coming, and California Lions clubs need to be prepared.

Lions International is transitioning from the original e-Clubhouse platform to e-Clubhouse 2.0.

What your club needs to know:

If your club signs up for an e-Clubhouse 2.0 site, your original site will be unpublished 90 days after your webmaster receives the email prompting them to create their new account.

If your club chooses not to transition to e-Clubhouse 2.0, your existing e-Clubhouse 1.0 site will be unpublished on July 15, 2027.

For clubs that depend on their website for community visibility, service information and communication, waiting until the last minute could create an interruption.

START PLANNING YOUR TRANSITION NOW

As part of that planning, MD4 Marketing encourages clubs to consider purchasing a personalized domain name that can be connected to their e-Clubhouse 2.0 website.

Instead of promoting a long or unfamiliar web address, your club can use something simple and memorable, such as YourTownLions.org.

A personalized domain can:

* Make your club easier for the public to find and remember
* Give your club a more professional and established identity
* Create a consistent web address for flyers, business cards, QR codes, social media and community outreach
* Strengthen your club’s local brand and visibility
* Give your club a web address it can continue to use even if the website platform changes in the future

Think of the domain as your club’s permanent address on the internet. The website behind it can change—the address you give your community doesn’t have to.

Learn more about e-Clubhouse 2.0 through Lions International:

Need some grassroots help figuring out what this means for your club? Contact Lion Elizabeth with MD4 Marketing. You’re not alone—we can talk it through.

WIN #7— Give Marketing a Seat at the Table

Include your District Marketing Chair as a regular member of the District Cabinet and encourage their consistent participation in Cabinet meetings.

Your Marketing Chair is a critical communication link between clubs, the district, and MD4—helping resources and opportunities move down to clubs while bringing club successes, needs, and ideas back up.

When Marketing is at the table, communication gets stronger, clubs stay better connected, and great Lions service has a better chance of being seen, shared, and celebrated.

Easy Win #7: Jo Keep Marketing connected, informed, and at the table.
