Maharlika Lions Club would like to inform District 4-C5 of the passing of our dear friend Lion Maryann Bamba. Lion Maryann was 57 years old and married to Lion Mark Bamba. She was Treasurer of Maharlika Lions Club as well as the LCIF Coordinator. Lion Maryann’s tireless work and dedication was instrumental in the success of our 2018 Medical Mission to the Philippines which insured our winning of District 4-C5 Humanitarian Award for 2018. Lion Maryann’s dedication to service inspired the well-being and quality of life of those she served. Lion Maryann Bamba will be missed by her friends and family.

Do you need a mentor? Do you want to be a mentor?

Posted on 03/19/2018 by admin

As a district that takes pride in emphasizing training as a key element of our overall goals and objectives, there is a need to seek out powerful ways to grow and develop the skills of our membership. A review of the literature suggests that today’s leaders from all walks of life, have had the benefit of a mentor’s wisdom and experience.

The question is, how might a mentoring program benefit our entire organization? Mentoring is more than just a cost-effective alternative to traditional training programs. It promotes knowledge sharing, leadership development, skill development, and engagement throughout the entire organization.

Membership wise we have had some good years and some poor years. Each year District 4-C5 brings in as many members as leave. Information passed on from LCI suggests that the highest rate of attrition is during the fourteenth to the eighteenth month of service, and some sources (LCI) suggest that the more accurate range is closer to six months to fourteen months.

Although as a district we are not that good at performing exit surveys with the members who leave, we hear when attending the Council of Governors and other events outside our district, that the top reasons that Lions drop are: 1) their club is not doing regular service projects and 2) the member did not have true understanding of Lionism.

If you’re interested in becoming a part of our mentoring program, or you wish to have a mentor give you the one-on-one training to move you forward as a new Lion, please download and fill out the appropriate application and send a copy to your club secretary.
