My Lions Club in Trouble

I am a member of a Lions Club in San Mateo. At this last Thursday's meeting, there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm for the club's morale. I am the Vice President, and I was leading the meeting. There was especially a lack of enthusiasm from the other Vice President. His name is Lion Bill Arthur. He was not even at the meeting. It was told by club members that he just is too tired of being a Lion. He is the kind of person who feels that nickle & diming people for their spare change is bad. He want to go after the big bucks. Well at this last meeting, we discussed over some huge gains in funds we got from "Legacy Through Giving." It was at this event where we had a silent auction that really brought in funds. But, somehow it didn't seem enough. My mother, the President of our club, wants to do a fundraising co-op with another club, so that we can get better in learning how to do those kinds of events. But before it can be done, our treasurer wants the specifics on how the money is supposed to be split. All of this makes me wonder how I will do as President next year. I want to go and see Bill Arthur to find out what it is about Lions that he wants changed.
