Step One: Visit Us.
Attend one of our Club meetings or events. A special invitation is not necessary, but if you let us know you are coming, we can plan to have someone greet you and introduce you to our members. For your first regular Club meeting, we will treat you to dinner as our guest. We meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday, 6:30 pm at Tomatina's Union City.
Step Two: Find a Sponsor.
The role of your sponsor is to be your mentor and friend, and to teach you about the organization and to become actively involved. You may ask a member you know to sponsor you, or contact our Membership Director, to help you with sponsorship and to make the arrangements.
Step Three: Apply for Membership
Complete an application form, which will be provided by your sponsor or the Membership Director. The form should be submitted to the Membership Director, along with your dues payment.
Step Four: Pay Dues.
Annual dues are currently $125 per year, which runs from July 1 through June 30. Plus a one time initiation fee of $35 to Lions International. For your first year, dues will be prorated (except Lions International Fee of $35) from the month your membership begins.
Step Four: Approval of Membership
The Membership Director will present your application to the Board of Directors at the next monthly meeting, where it must be accepted and approved. This is a formality, and unless there are unusual circumstances, our standard practice is that approval is given at the same time.
Step Five: Induction
Your induction into the Club will be scheduled at the next general Club meeting following your approval. Your sponsor will stand up with you, as you are sworn in as a new Lion member.
Step Six: Get to Work!
Once you become a member of the world's largest service organization, you will have opportunities to participate in many rewarding community service projects.
