LION 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 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 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 to them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To give
them 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.
The Citrus Heights Lions club
consists of a group of volunteers who wish to help others and have found
that the Lions organization is the best way to do that. As a club,
they have gone the extra mile to help aid victims caught in a disastrous
situation, they have built handicap ramps, helped to build a habitat house,
provided blankets to individuals for those cold winter nights, provided
gifts and food to people in need, provided eye care for those who needed
glasses or an exam, eye surgeries, provided hearing aids, helped schools,
scouts, sports teams and other organizations raise funds and more.
They support the City of Hope and other foundations that fight to save
lives and go to battle against the life-threatening diseases. As
a club, they allow others to come speak to them about their needs and they
try to fill every need that is set before them. They expect no payment
for giving service to others. Their reward is the feeling they get
when they see the tears of joy and the smiles on so many grateful faces.
Citrus Heights club members are happy and proud to be a part of the Lions
Organization!
