Lions 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, and to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self respect, lost because of unfair advantage taken of customers.

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 to be true to myself.

WHENEVER a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards my fellow men, 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 and accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.

ALWAYS bear in mind my obligation 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 freely of my time, labor, and means.

TO AID my fellow men 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.
