10. Our Code of Ethics
m nagaRAJU
Lions are guided by a
Code of Ethics, which
was adopted at our first
convention in 1917.

11. Code of Ethics
m nagaRAJU
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.

12. Code of Ethics
m nagaRAJU
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.

13. Code of Ethics
m nagaRAJU
To Aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to
the weak, and my substance to the needy.

14. Leadership
m nagaRAJU
To Be Careful with my
criticism and liberal
with my praise; to build
up and not destroy.

15. Thank you
