56

Lions Fundamentals

Lions Code of Ethics1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others,

to resolve such doubt against myself.

5. 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 another, but that true friendship demands nothing

but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.

6. Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my

community, as to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them

freely of my time, labor and means.

7. To Aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my

substance to the needy.

8. To Be Careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.

12 Sep 2017


57

Lions FundamentalsLife Situations – Applying the Code of Ethics

Directions: Decide which Code of Ethic applies to each of the following situations:

• A new Lion member helped fix the roof on an older Lion member’s

house saying, “What are friends for?” But then the newer Lion sent the

older Lion a large bill and demanded payment.

• A new club president is being very critical of several of the members.

• She loves club meetings but hates her job. She says to another Lion,

“Why should I care about quality when I’m at work. No one else cares!”

Code #5 If the younger Lion had wanted to practice this code of ethics, he

would have been happy to fix the roof for his Lion friend, or at least he would

have openly negotiated the charges ahead of time.

Code #8 The new club president should follow the code by offering praise to

these members, not negative criticism. Constructive criticism in private, given

with caring & concern for growth is much different then public negative criticism.

Code #1 According to the Lions Code of Ethics, this woman should have tried

to produce quality work no matter what anyone else did.12 Sep 2017


58

Lions Fundamentals

Life Situations – Applying the Code of Ethics

Directions: Decide which Code of Ethic applies to each of the following situations:

• Each week she donates part of her paycheck to the eye clinic which

provides free services to the poor.

A president of a company visits a Lions club and asks to join. The

members wonder what to tell him because it is common knowledge

that this president exploits his customers, trying to take advantage of

them.

• He has doubts about the fairness of what his hotel chain is doing.

They are compromising on food quality in order to make a larger profit.

Code #7 She showed the ethic of serving the unfortunate. This is at the heart

of who Lions are.

Code #3 This was a key ethic of Melvin Jones—to be honest and caring in all

business practices. There is no room in Lionism for cheating and dishonesty.

Code #2 He has doubts because a true Lion cares about being fair & truthful.
