Lionism
Lions
Clubs are non-political, non-sectarian service organizations composed of the
community's leading business and professional men and women. Membership is by
invitation only.
The
purpose of a Lions Club is more than good fellowship and club social life,
important though these are. It is to recognize community needs and develop means
of meeting them, either through its own effort or in cooperation with other
agencies.
Lionism
is an active and efficient medium for united community effort and enterprise. It
is also an outstanding medium for national and world service, exerting
tremendous influence for national welfare, international amity and peace, and
human progress socially, culturally, and economically. The importance of Lions
work in all these fields is widely recognized.

CODE
OF ETHICS
TO
SHOW
my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to
the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
TO SEEK success and to demand all fair
remuneration or profit as
my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own
self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of
questionable acts on my part.
TO REMEMBER that in building up my business it is not necessary to
tear down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to
myself.
WHENEVER a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or
action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
TO HOLD friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true
friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to
another; but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in
the spirit in which it is given.
ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my
state and my community; and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word,
act and deed. To give them freely of my time, labour and means.
TO AID others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to
the weak, and my substance to the needy.
TO BE CAREFUL with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to
build up and not destroy. |
