WHAT IS LIONISM ?
Lionism is knowing, showing, sharing, caring, but most of all it is fellowship.

WHO IS A LION ?
He or she achieves success, who lives well, laughs often and loves much
Who gains respect of intelligent men and women and the love of little children
Who fills his or her niche, who accomplishes his or her task, who leaves the world better than they found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a reserved soul
Who never lacks appreciation of earth's beauty, or fails to express it
Who always sees the best in others, and gives the best they have
whose life is an inspiration
Whose memory is a benediction

LIONS OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
I Pledge Allegiance To The
Flag Of My Country And To The Republic
For Which It Stands.
One Nation Indivisible Unto God
With Liberty & Justice For All.

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 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 to bear in mind y obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state and m community, and to give to them my unswerving loyalty in a 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 criticisms and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.

WHAT IS A LIONS CLUB ?
A Lions Club is an International nonsectarian, nonpolitical service organization whose members are a group of service-minded men and women who are dedicated to working and raising funds to make their communities a better place to live in.

ARE YOU INTERESTED ?
Most people at one time or another have purchased tickets or supported one or another of the various Lions activities. Perhaps the best way to help would be to become a member of a very active service club and help to do your share to make your community a better place to live in and raise your children. Membership is by Invitation Only, but if you're interested please contact us, we would be more than happy to explain fully what Lionism is all about and answer any questions you may have.It's Great to be a Lion, Lions do Make a Difference!

WHO CAN BECOME A LION ?
Any man or woman willing to work to help others, may be invited to join! They must be of legal majority and of good moral character; regardless of color, race, religion, language or political beliefs; and have a good reputation in their community.

WHY BECOME A LION ?
The main reason is to help others, with the help of all the members of their club, we can work and raise funds to allow Lions to offer their assistance where needed in their community.

Socially you will meet people interested in doing the same work as you in your club, the other clubs in the district, the country and internationally. Inter-club visits and annual cabinet meeting and conventions are an integral part of Lionism and help broaden your knowledge and appreciation of how Lionism serves needs throughout the world.
