Here are extracts from a post on LinkedIn I commented on.
But the bank manager didn’t like it. He followed me outside to my car to tell me:
“Because you are not a member, you can’t dialogue with our customers. If you do, you can’t come back.”
At that moment, I had a choice:
i. React with racket energy—get defensive, blame, or fight back.
ii. Stay in integrity, engage for clarity, and be present to the possibility of something bigger.
Hello,
I have received multiple emails from you regarding your concerns with local Lions Clubs. As you may be aware, Lions Clubs International (LCI) charters clubs worldwide, but each club operates autonomously. This means that each club is responsible for its own day-to-day management and compliance with applicable laws within its jurisdiction.
Lions Clubs International (LCI) must balance club autonomy with accountability. Autonomy allows local clubs flexibility in daily operations, aligning with LCI’s founding principles of service and local initiative. However, it’s not a shield against oversight for serious misconduct, such as constitutional violations, ethical breaches, or criminal acts like fraud. LCI’s decentralized structure empowers clubs but doesn’t grant immunity.

Here are extracts from the Lions Handbook (indented) and my comments. Response from any Lion or anyone for that matter is welcome.
For those who do not have time, at least please read the sentences highlighted in red.
