Objectives

The primary aim of Lionism is service; first to the Club's own community, then to those in need wherever they may be. Each year Lions' Clubs perform services and provide goods to thousands of persons throughout the world. We can proudly say that Lions Clubs perform far more activities and help more people than any other service organization in the world today.

The Lions International objectives are

• TO CREATE and foster a spirit of understanding among the people of the world.

• TO PROMOTE the principals of good government and good citizenship.

• TO TAKE an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community.

• TO UNITE the club in bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding.

• TO PROVIDE a forum for me open discussion of all matters of public interest; provided, however, that politics and sectarian religion shall not be debated by club members.

• TO ENCOURAGE service minded men and women to serve their community without personal financial reward, and to encourage efficiency and promote high ethical standards in commerce, industry, professions, public works and private endeavors.
