The statistics of members under District 411B (Tanzania & Uganda) is graphically on the rise but the target of 1250 members is yet to be accomplished. According to the health assessment report flashed by Lions Clubs International, the figure of membership was 1154 by the end of December last year and by the end of January this year it increased to 1164 under 42 clubs.
Copies of the health assessment report accompanied by an observation from the GMT District Coordinator, PDG Lion Abdul Majid Khan was distributed to Cabinet, District Officers and club leaders. In his remarks, PDG Lion Khan has passionately urged all Lions leaders to close the exit doors so as to bring success to the Governor's aspirations to reach the required target by end of April this year.
Club leaders have been seriously urged to remit their international dues on or before 15th February and to explore all the possibilities of recruiting quality members, at least three new members per club. Uganda sector has accomplished the target of chartering two new clubs where as Tanzania has yet to hit the target of at least two new clubs as per the district goals set by the Governor.
One Lions club in Arua in Uganda was cancelled for failing to adhere to payment of international dues. Consequently the district lost 34 members. With a sad note, this club was" in red" which meant status quo for eight times within the period of two years. Cabinet and District officers in Uganda have been urged to work collectively to revive the club within the next few weeks so as to alter the course of the sub district.
