"We Serve"

"We Serve" is the motto of The International Association of Lions Clubs or Lions Club International.

I recently became a member of the Lions Club International. My dear husband invited me to attend one of his meetings in October of last year and I became hooked. Hearing about the work/service that they were doing drew me in.

I am so PROUD to be a Lion. I look forward to the many opportunities that I will have being a part of this great organization.

"Lions club members are men and women who strive to make a difference in their local community as well as in communities worldwide. Their volunteer efforts go beyond the support of vision care, to addressing unmet health and education needs worldwide. "

VISION STATEMENT

TO BE THE GLOBAL LEADER in community and humanitarian service.

MISSION STATEMENT

TO EMPOWER volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

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, labor, 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.

"I am a loyal Lion, God help me to do my duty as such."
