Our text message program

The Grand Terrace Lions Club is a chartered Lions club in Grand Terrace, California, part of Lions Clubs International. Our members run service projects for the local community — food distribution, highway cleanup, sight and hearing programs, and student scholarships — and meet twice a month. We text our members so that nobody misses a meeting or turns up to a project that moved.

Who this is for

Members of the club only. This is not a public mailing list and there is nothing here to subscribe to. The club texts the people on its own membership roster and nobody else. If you are not a member and would like to be, come to a meeting or write to rashline@llu.edu.

What we send

Club notifications only — never marketing, never advertising, and never on behalf of anyone else. Members may receive:

Reminders on the day of the monthly membership meeting
Reminders on the day of the monthly board meeting
Service project details and changes — start times, locations, cancellations
Requests to sign up for an event, and reminders if you have
A one-time sign-in code when a member signs in to the member portal

Roughly 2 to 6 messages a month, depending on what the club has on.

How members agree to receive them

A member gives the club their mobile number on the club’s membership application, or by giving it to a club officer, and agrees at that point to be texted about club business. The consent wording on the application reads:

By providing my mobile number I agree to receive text messages from the Grand Terrace Lions Club about meetings, service projects and club business, including one-time sign-in codes for the member portal. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of membership.

Members can see and change this for themselves at any time in the member portal at portal.gtlions.org/profile, which has a setting for club texts and one for club emails.

How to stop them

Reply STOP to any message from the club. You will get one message confirming it, and then nothing further. You can also turn texts off in the portal, or ask any club officer to do it for you.

Opting out does not affect your membership, and the club will keep you informed by email and in person instead.

Help

Reply HELP to any message, or write to rashline@llu.edu. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
