Place a poster in your hall highlighting where you club made donations over the last year and send it to the newspaper as well.  Don’t forget to include a total amount at the bottom.  You could also include a list of organizations your club donated the use of your hall to.  A club in the district recently had such a poster in the local newspaper highlighting that their club had raised $62,000 in the last year.  This had the positive effect of changing the town council’s impression from not knowing what their club did in the community to the mayor joining their Lions club.  Past International President Judge Brian Stevenson suggested this at a recent District A4 Convention.
