Twitter is a great resource for communicating with potential members to help educate them on the benefits of joining the Lions Club. A good place to start is by conducting a Twitter search for those existing Twitter users talking about the Lions Club International online. To do this, simply go to search.twitter.com and search for “Lions Club” or “lionsclub”. If you are a new Twitter user, you may be surprised by the results. The basic Twitter search can be taken a step further by conducting an advanced Twitter search (http://search.twitter.com/advanced). With the advanced Twitter search features you can narrow down your search to a specific location to help filter your results.
Do not limit yourself to just “lions club” searches. Think about other activities in which Lions Club members are involved and conduct several searches to get a “pulse” for the discussion. Once you have identified Twitter users that seem to be a good fit, engage in conversation and help educate. It's that easy to gain Twitter followers and possible new Lions Club members!
