As the use of the Internet Web sites has become more and more prevalent among Lions, Lion Club International (LCI) is responding and has taken preliminary steps towards making online communication, business, and public relations easier for your Lions District & Club.
AND IT'S FREE.
It’s called the “e-District” & "e-Clubhouse"
It’s a place for members to meet and
access District & Club information.
It’s a place to plan service activities and
promote them to the community.
It’s a place for the average internet user to
communicate via many avenues.
It’s a place to chat, email and update
impending events.
It’s a place to post photos, access LCI tools
and information and so much more.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
