District 5M5 Lions

District 5M5 Lions Together in 37 Clubs, Over 1,300 Lions Changing Lives Every Day. To Hold friendship as an end and not a means. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.

Lions Clubs 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 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 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.

Did you know? Legos are one of the absolute favorite things for children going through cancer treatment to receive! Because they are brand new and single-use, kids can safely build them, keep them, and find a little bit of joy during a tough day.

At our upcoming District 5M5 All Club Meeting on August 24th, we are hosting a district-wide Lego collection drive! Whether your club comes together to purchase a few sets or you bring one individually, please bring your donation along to the meeting.

🗓 Event Details:

Date: August 24th

What to bring: A new Lego set for children undergoing cancer treatment

⚠️ Important Note: Registration is required in advance for this meeting—even if you aren't eating!
