LION STEVE GLASS RECEIVES GRAND MASTER KEY:
Lions International awarded Lion Steve Glass the Grand Master Key for sponsoring 50 members. In order to receive credit for sponsorship toward a membership key, the member must remain in the organization for at least a year and a day. All but 14 of Steve's members were sponsored into the Clarksburg Lions Club.
Steve joined the club in 1981 and his membership efforts have been steady over the year, usually sponsoring one or two members each year. Steve always takes personal responsibility for the members he sponsors, teaching, nurturing, encouraging participation and sharing his passion for this club and the entire organization. Steve is a Past District Governor and Past Council Chair and has received many awards and recognitions throughout his active career as a Lion.
According to Mahendra Amarasuriya, current International President, "..We need to recruit new members. We need to reach out to current members to kee p them in the fold. Membership is every Lion's respnsibility. A Lion does not have to heroically recruit 100 or 50 membes. But if every Lion could invite just two or three solid community members to join, our association would grow and prosper as never before."
Here is Steve with his wife and daughter after receiving his Grand Master Key on May 9th."
