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, 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.

History

Lions International is one of the world’s largest and most effective service organizations. Fort Morgan Lions Club is one of over 40,000 Lions Clubs in 180 countries. We exist and serve, regardless of the language spoken, the politics, geographic boundaries or religious affiliations. Lions of all backgrounds exist to serve those in need. Lionism has a proud history of serving and heritage dating 1917.

In 1922, when the Fort Morgan Lions Club formed, those charter members envisioned a group of individuals who would reach out to the community and serve others. We in the Fort Morgan Lions Club whole-heartedly embrace the International Objectives:
