LIONS CLUB OF ETHICS

LIONS CLUB 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: 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 each doubt against myself.

TO HOLD 

friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists no on account of the service performed by one 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 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 weak, and substance to the needy.

TO BE 

careful with my criticism and liberal with my praises; to build up and not destroy.
