Lions Club Purpose
- To Create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world.
- To Promote the principles 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 clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship, and mutual understanding.
- To Provide a forum for the open discussion of all matters of public interest; provided, however, that partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not be debated by club members.
- To Encourage service-minded people 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.
- To show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I merit a reputation of 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 is 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; 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 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 services in the spirit in which it is given.
- Always bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, and to give them my answering loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor, and means.
- To aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substances to the needy.
- To be careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.

Protocol
Club Protocol For The District Governor's Visit
- No other program or club business should be planned. The Governor is your speaker
- Address the Governor by Title
- The President should greet the District Governor at the club meeting. (If the Governor is arriving by air, then the President should meet and drive the Governor)
- The Senior Cabinet member present should introduce the District governor. However, the President should introduce the Senior Cabinet member. if no Cabinet member is present, the President should make the introduction.
- Arrange time before the meeting for the Governor to meet club members, introduce the Governor to all members individually.
- International requires the Governor to meet with the club board of Directors; arrange for this after the meeting.
- It is appropriate for the club to invite the Region Chair and Zone Chair to this meeting, spouses are permitted.
- As a courtesy to the office, members should rise and applaud at the beginning of the Governor's presentation.
- Notify the Governor if the club desires the Governor to induct new members or present awards.
- If the meeting is a spouses night, notify the Governor.
- Have local media coverage if possible.
- Seat the District Governor at the head table.
- spouses always sit on the members or guests right EXCEPT that no lady should be seated at the end of the table or left of the podium unless a Lioness meeting or Lion Officer is a woman.
Introductions;
- Individual recognition of all Lion dignitaries should be made only once, and that should be done by the presider of the occasion. Other speakers addressing the audience should recognize the head table as follows:
-
Presiding Officer (such as District Governor, Lion President) other Lion Dignitaries, Ladies and Guests.
(Repetitious recognition of each lion dignitary by each speaker at an occasion has been long considered needless and boring. Your use of this procedure will be appreciated by all as an improvement)

Lions Club International: A Brief History
In 1917, Melvin Jones, a 38-year-old Chicago business leader, told members of his local business club they should reach beyond business issues and address the betterment of their communities and the world. Jones' group, the Business Group of Chicago agreed.
After contacting similar groups around the United States, an organizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917, in Chicago, IL USA. The new group took the name of one of the invited groups, the Association of Lions Clubs and a National convention was held in Dallas, TX USA in October of that year. A constitution, by-laws, objects, and a code of ethics were approved.
Within three years, Lions became an international organization. Since then, we've earned high marks for both integrity and transparency. we're a well-run organization with a steady vision, a clear mission, and a long and proud history.
Mission Statement
To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions Clubs.
Vision Statement
To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service.

In 1925, Helen Keller challenged LIONS to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." And we accepted. Today, sight programs remain one of our defining causes.

Anchor Award
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this award is to provide recognition for the "Grass Root Lions" who are the anchors and stability of our association. The goal is to eliminate the club dropouts, by recognizing these Lions who put out special effort at the club level.
All Lions will be eligible for this award that have put in at least 125 hours or more of service in any recognized Lion activity, except the following:
• Current Club Presidents
• Current Club Secretaries
• Current Zone Chairs
• Current Cabinet Secretaries
• Current Cabinet Treasurers
• Current Multiple District chairs
• Current District Governors
• Current Vice District Governors
• Past District Governors and Past Vice District Governors
• Current or Past International Officers or Directors (District Chairs shall be considered for the Anchor Award at the discretion of the District Governor. Hours accumulated on district committee activities shall NOT be considered for the award.)
RULES:
Each Lion should keep a record of all the hours they work on anything in conjunction with Lionism. These must be certified and dated by the club president or secretary. All hours counted must be actual and not estimated. Sleep and travel time are excluded from any of the hours counted toward the award.

Helen Keller Award
Award History
Born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, USA, in 1880, Helen Keller developed a fever at 18 months of age that left her blind and deaf.
With the help of an exceptional teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan of the Perkins School for the Blind, Helen Keller learned sign language and braille. A few years later, she learned to speak. As an adult, she became a tireless advocate for people with disabilities. And in 1925, she attended the Lions Clubs International Convention and challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness."
The Lions accepted her challenge and our work ever since has included sight programs aimed at preventable blindness.

The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

***Due to Covid issues, this event has been canceled.***
Keep watching for updates for the new Lions Spring Conference location.
|
|
Hello fellow Lions,
I am taking advice given to me to cancel our Conference at Sea due to Covid concerns. I contacted our Cruise Consultant: Michael Mowatt, at (954) 514-4116 to cancel all reservations made by Lions in MD-35. He is sending me, along with the emails attached to each reservation, the cancellation verifications to make sure everyone is reimbursed 100% of what they paid either partly or in full. Reservations had to be paid in full or refunded by 1/9 to get full refunds. Refunds will be processed back to the credit/debit cards they were booked on within 7-10 business days. That would make it by January 17th. Look for your cancellation notification in the email you used to register for the event. Feel free to call Michael Mowatt if you need a cancellation notice or it is past 1/17 and you have not received your refund yet. We still will have FUN no matter what, right? 🦁❤👍
If plans are made for a Spring Conference at a different location you will be notified promptly.
Cheers!
