New Member Kits from LCI

The new member kits can no longer be ordered online through the LCI Store website. The website now states to call the LCI store to place your order. Club Supplies Sales Department (Lions Store): 630-571-5466 x440 or Toll Free: 1-800-710-7822 Monday - Friday 8:00AM to 4:30PM CST (Closed Holidays). 

Each kit now has an individual blank membership card, but no longer has the new member manual. This was done to save on shipping. The new member information is available on the LCI website at this link: New Members.

Together We Can Grow 

While service is at the core of what every Lion does, being a Lion is also about leading your club, growing your club, and developing valuable skills that can help strengthen your club. The stronger your club is, the bigger of an impact you can make in your local and global communities. Check out the information available about club growth at this website!

Are Your Lions Club and Foundation Protected?
Although most clubs feel their assets are secure, member theft can and does occur. Dishonesty Bonds, also called Crime/Fidelity Bonds, are a form of insurance protection that covers the policyholders for losses that they incur as a result of fraudulent acts by specified individuals. They usually insure an entity (Club/Foundation) for losses caused by the dishonest acts (such as theft) of its members. These insurance policies protect from losses of Club/Foundation monies, securities, and other property.

Policies are available through insurance agencies and are typically written for 1 or 3 years with discounted rates for a multi-year policy. If you have both a club and a foundation, make sure both are named on the policy or take out a separate policy for each. Also your Board of Directors should decide on the amount of the coverage needed to protect the assets of your organization(s). Rates may typically run about $250 for a 3 year policy with $10,000 coverage. Ask your insurance agent to provide you with a quote.

Also, LCI has arranged for a program of supplemental insurance coverage in which Lions Clubs, Districts and other authorized Lions organizations in the United States may apply to purchase certain coverage at discounted rates. Coverage is underwritten by Philadelphia Insurance and QBE Insurance.
