Welcome to “LIONS301 BLOGGERS” page.

This blog will start putting us all together, where everyone shall be within arms lenght of everyone. This blog fully supports all our six “Lions Objects.”

To start with, let all be reminded that we are strictly prohibited by our own policy to discuss partisan politics and sectarian religion. As a rule of the thumb we shall limit topics within lions’ and leos’ concern. We may, at times, tackle issues of national interests provided we don’t break any law.

Though this is a private open forum, bloggers are expected to promote courtesy and heed to our Lions Ethical Standard.

At times, when circumstances warrants, the web site administrator or assignees may act to moderate on any subject should, in his/her opinion, discussion is drifted beyond limits of the rules.

Owners, staffs, and/or assignees of “Lions301 Bloggers” do not necessarily agree with any and all opinions expressed in this blog page and/or its’ linked sites.

Happy blogging to all!

A club meeting must be called to order precisely on time as scheduled, with or without quorum and adjourned on or before the scheduled time finished or not finished. The only business that can be legally taken up in the absence of quorum is the motion to recess while waiting for quorum to exist or to adjourn. The most important thing is that the meeting transpired although is has to adjourn due to lack of quorum.

The committees if allowed to function enhances the strenght of a club. The common blunder of a person on the helm is  taking over the duties of a committee chair. This is not good management practice. A committee must be given ample time to do its work. If necessary, in order to expedite process, may convene a meeting of the “committee of the whole” with the approving body. A committee of the whole meeting is presided over by the chairperson of the concerned committee (not the president) though the president is an adhoc member of the committee.

The word etiquette according to Webster means: “The forms required by good breeding, social conventions, or prescribed by authority, to be observed in social or official life; the rules of decorum.”

In short it means good manners relative to the rules we observe in our daily living with others; more than the proper words spoken in an introduction; proper attitudes in any given situation; kindness to others; courtesy; respect for the other person’s feelings; considerations extended;

Aside from the LCI “Code of Ethics” the Association had issued “Ethical Standard” for officers and members.
