🦁 Engage & Grow
Welcome to the ENGAGE page — your central hub for helping the Columbus Northern Lions grow in impact, visibility, and service.
This page was built to make involvement simple. Here you’ll find a downloadable copy of our 2026 Growth Plan, along with ready-to-use emails, call scripts, and social media posts. Everything is written so you can simply copy, paste, add your contact information, and go. No guessing. No overthinking. Just action.
We do ask that members do not edit the core messaging or hashtags, as consistency strengthens our brand and our credibility in the community. If you have ideas, improvements, or new content suggestions (and we absolutely welcome them), please bring them to Lion Jim so we can review and refine together. This is a starting point — not a final product — and we are wide open to thoughtful input as we grow.
Because this is a living resource, materials may be updated from time to time. Please check back before each outreach effort to make sure you are using the most current scripts, posts, and messaging.
Scroll below to access the tools, download the plan, and choose how you want to engage.
Together, we grow.
Together, we serve. 🦁

Email Templates to use
📧 Email #1 — Warm & Community-First
(Great for schools, nonprofits, churches, longtime friends)
Subject: A quick hello from the Lions Club
Hi {{Name}},
I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to take a moment to personally reach out and share a little about something I’m involved in locally — the Columbus Northern Lions Club.
Our club focuses on hands-on service in the community, including things like helping kids with vision care, supporting families in need, scholarships, and partnering with schools and nonprofits on local projects. It’s been a really rewarding way to give back and stay connected to what’s happening around us.
I’m not calling or emailing to “ask for anything” — more just to introduce what we do and open the door to staying connected. If you’d ever like to attend a meeting, volunteer at a project, or simply learn more, I’d love to invite you.
And if Lions service ever aligns with something you’re working on — personally or professionally — I’d be happy to explore that together.
Would it be okay if I kept you in the loop on upcoming projects or events?
Hope to catch up soon,

📧 Email #2 — Business-Friendly & Partnership-Oriented
(Great for business owners, professionals, sponsors)
Subject: A quick hello from the Columbus Northern Lions Club
Hi {{Name}},
I wanted to reach out briefly and introduce myself. I’m a member of the Columbus Northern Lions Club, a local service organization focused on improving lives right here in our community.
We regularly partner with local businesses, schools, and nonprofits on projects like vision screenings, food and coat drives, scholarships, and community events. Many of our partnerships are simple — visibility, collaboration, or sponsorship — but they make a real impact.
I thought of you because we like to spotlight great local businesses that care about the community. This can be as straightforward as:
Supporting a specific service project
Being recognized as a community sponsor
Or simply staying connected for future opportunities
No pressure at all — just starting a conversation. If this sounds like something you’d be open to exploring, I’d love to connect or invite you to one of our upcoming events.
Would you mind if I added you to our occasional updates so you can see what we’re working on?
Best regards,

📧 Email #3 — Personal, Casual & Relationship-Driven
(Perfect for friends, family, coworkers, warm contacts)
Subject: Quick favor / quick share
Hi {{Name}},
Quick note — I wanted to tell you about something I’ve been spending time on lately.
I’m involved with the Columbus Northern Lions Club, and honestly, it’s been one of the most fulfilling things I do outside of work. We help with vision care for kids, community support projects, scholarships, and a bunch of other local needs.
I’m reaching out to a few people I know just to spread the word and invite them into what we’re doing — whether that’s attending an event, volunteering once in a while, or simply cheering us on.
If you ever want to come check out a meeting or project, I’d love to have you as my guest. And if supporting local causes is something you already care about, even a small donation goes a long way.
Either way, I’d love to stay connected — would you be okay if I added you to our email updates?
Hope all’s well,
