LIONS - Liberty Intelligence Our Nation's Safety

Lions are members of service clubs, dedicated to improving the community and making a difference in the lives of its citizens. Following the motto ‘We Serve’, Lions are engaged in sight and hearing projects, youth programs, environmental improvement, health services functions, assistance to the aged, and many other worthwhile activities.

Worldwide, Lion membership is approaching 1.5 million men and women in nearly 200 countries. Truly an international organization, Lions project their service to the global community through the strength of combination; both manpower and financial resources. This has permitted such ambitious Lion undertakings as the recent drive to eradicate preventable blindness around the world.

One hundred percent of all donations to Lions Clubs International go towards charitable projects. No donations are used to pay for administrative functions, salaries, supplies, etc. These items are paid for by Lions themselves-- in the form of monthly dues.

District 6 SE, a sub-district of Multiple District 6, is located in southeastern Colorado. District Lions carry the proud heritage of service into the 21st century.

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 remunaration of 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 toward my fellow man, 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.
