Congratulations on taking the first step in learning how to charter a new club!

The next step is for the club organizer to work closely with the consultant on the logistics of the training and the district's objectives. Prior to the training, the following must be completed:

1. The district governor shall assign two guiding Lions, preferably certified guiding Lions.  These GLs are strongly encouraged to attend the training.
2. Review and complete the Club Organizer Checklist below.
3. Schedule meetings with community leaders to inform and invite them to become a member.
4. Print recruiting flyers with details of the informational meeting to display before the training.
