Why Facebook Matters for Lions Clubs
Why Facebook Matters for Lions Clubs
Facebook remains one of the most effective tools for local Lions Clubs to connect with their community, promote events, and attract new members.

Step 1 – Set Up Your Page Correctly
Step 1 – Set Up Your Page Correctly
• Use an official club email address
• Select “Nonprofit Organization” as the category
• Use your full club name (example: Greater Greenfield Lions Club)
• Add accurate contact and location information
• Assign at least two officers as administrators
Avoid using a single personal account as the only admin. Leadership transitions become difficult when access is lost.
Step 2 – Brand & Set Up Your Page Professionally
Use:
• Official Lions Club logo
• Clean, high-resolution version
• Proper spacing (don’t stretch or crop awkwardly)
Why it matters:
This is your identity everywhere — posts, comments, shares.
1. Profile Photo

Use:
Official Lions Club logo
Clean, high-resolution version
Proper spacing (do not stretch or crop awkwardly)
Why it matters:
This logo appears on every post, comment, and share. It represents your club everywhere.
2. Cover Photo
2. Cover Photo
Use:
A recent service project
A major annual event
A strong community image
Avoid:
Blurry group photos
Overloaded text graphics
Random stock photos
Your cover photo should visually answer:
“What does this club actually do?”
3. About Section
3. About Section
Include:
Short mission statement

Keep it simple and clear. This is often the first place new members check.

Set your primary action button to one of these:
Contact Us
Learn More
Send Message
Choose what your club will actually monitor.
Step 5 – Start Posting With Purpose
Your page should not be empty when people visit it.
1. Welcome Post
1. Welcome Post
• Introduce your club
• Explain what you do
• Invite people to follow the page
Example:
“Welcome to the Greater Greenfield Lions Club! We proudly serve our community through service projects, fundraising events, and volunteer leadership. Follow our page to see how we’re making a difference.”
2. Service Project Post
2. Service Project Post
• Share a real photo
• Briefly explain what happened
• Mention impact (who benefited, funds raised, etc.)
Real photos build trust. Avoid stock images.
3. Meeting Invitation Post
3. Meeting Invitation Post
• Date
• Time
• Location
• “Guests welcome”
Make it easy for someone to attend.
Why this matters:
When someone visits your page, they scroll. If they see activity and purpose, they are far more likely to follow or message your club.
Step 4 – Stay Active (Simple Content Plan)
Step 4 – Stay Active (Simple Content Plan)
You don’t want clubs posting three times… then going silent for six months.
Give them something easy like:
• 1 service post per month
• 1 meeting reminder per month
• 1 community shout-out or partner highlight
• 1 event promotion when needed
Keep it realistic. No one in Lions wants a second full-time job.
You don’t need to post every day. You need to show up consistently.
Start simple. Stay steady. Let your community see the good you’re already doing.
