Lubbock Texas is home to the Largest Lion's Club in the USA and 2nd Largest in the World.
However, there are also about a dozen other Lion's Clubs in Lubbock that are smaller, more intimate, and serve the needs of their members.
Is there competition???....sure.....friendly rivalry???....sure.
Is that okay????...sure it is.
I do NOT understand the stodgy, super secret, smoke filled room attitudes represented in Chester's response.
People have different needs and expectations.
People are able to compete and have friendly competition without "ruining" an organization....in fact, it might just spur growth.
The ONE THING we all have in common is Airstream Ownership.....so why do we all have to do it by some WBCCI Bible Guidelines that are never to be changed?
It appears to me that WBCCI could study Lion's International and LEARN a few new tricks about membership and Club Charters.
