How this will change communications within the Association ?
But it makes things far quicker
The world will get smaller
Organizational work will become easier
Our helping hand reaches further
Notes:
How will the Internet change the way the Lions clubs work ?
Basically the net is just one more means of communication. It doesn’t cause a revolution. The clubs are still the most important working units. But what the net will do when used more extensively is to quicken the pace of the work and make physical distances obsolete. Clubs do not have to be from one small area, neither will the club members have to live near each other. The net will boost many more international joint projects, because it’s so easy with the net. It will help to carry the ideas of lions members from one country quickly to other countries where the same type of activities can often be applied as such, without reinventing the wheel. The net will also dramatically simplify the organizational work, for instance think about sending all the DG’s letters to all respondents at once by just pressing one button, with no copying, mailing, worrying about addresses, postage costs…
The net is the tool to make our helping hand reach around the world, not just clean our own neighbourhood.
BUT: the effective using of the net means that lions members will in future have to learn foreign languages and be ready to work globally.
