Twitter has become one of the best ways to effectively deliver timely news. We recommend setting up a Twitter account just for your local Lions Club to provide the ultimate tool for delivering all of the latest updates.

Encourage other Lions members to follow your Lions Club twitter account to find out about meeting schedules and other Lions Club news in your area. Using Twitter as a primary source for news, and encouraging other Lions to share the news among their followers, will go a long way in increasing awareness as well. 

Another great tool that will help stream-line communication among existing chapter members are Twitter Lists. This is a relatively new feature that Twitter rolled out to help break down Twitter users into smaller groups. Creating a new Twitter list for all of your Lions connections will be a tremendous help in making sure you do not miss all of the latest updates. Mashable, an online social media guide has a blog post with step by step instructions to get your Twitter list set up. You can also find many Lions Club members on Twitter with the Lions Club International’s own Twitter list.

Once you get things going on Twitter for your Lions Club, remember it’s just like real life. You are there to communicate with others... listen, respond, engage and communicate.
