The Importance of the Lions Club Tail Twister

Monday, March 8, 2010 by Michael Meador
Lions Club Tail TwisterWithout a Tail Twister there would be much less laughter and camaraderie at Lions Club meetings. The official role of the Tail Twister is to creatively promote harmony, good will, fellowship, life and enthusiasm in the Lions meetings through stunts, games and activities, including an imposition of “fines” on club members.
 
Membership attendance is always higher at a Lions Club with a successful Tail Twister.  The “fines” are usually never more than a couple of quarters. A member could be fined for having their hair too long, too short or having no hair at all! It's all good humored in nature and never outright embarrassing. Tail Twisters will fine members for arriving late, spilling their drink, talking out of turn or not talking enough. They can ask Lions to tell a joke on the spot and fine them depending on how much laughter the Lion did or did not receive. A common theme is to also acknowledge a fellow Lion for a birthday, promotion or other special event - and then fine them for it!

The Tail Twister is also important when meetings get too serious or a Lion gets a little out of hand. Every member is usually fined once every couple of meetings so no one feels left out.  It is also a great way to get new members involved.

Besides the President, the Tail Twister could arguably be the most important part of Lions Club meetings. A special custom Lions Pin from We-Belong would recognize and publicize their contributions. We hope to feature your favorite Lions Club Tail Twisters and their antics in the future, so feel free to give us nominations!
