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 renumeration or prof it as my just due, but to accept no prof it 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 other, to resolve such

doubt against myself .

TO HOLD friendship as an end not a means. To hold

that true f riendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true f riendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in

which it is given.

ALWAYS 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.

LIONS INTERNATIONAL OBJECTIVES
