How We Are Organized
About 60 Lions Clubs are under the organizational guidance of District 22-C, which encompasses Washington, DC, and the Maryland counties of Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince Georges and St. Mary's. The Lexington Park Lions Club consists of a Board of Directors, who are responsible for the overall direction of the Club. Members have an active role in all Club activities through their role on various committees and groups. The Lexington Park Lions Club never charges for the services we provide. All money raised from the public for our service work is used exclusively for that purpose. Fund raising expenses are held to a minimum, and all internal expenses of the Club are borne by the members.
Chartered on January 4, 1946, the Lexington Park Lions Club is community-minded, service-oriented and responsible.
Lions Clubs International Objectives
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, public works and private endeavor.
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 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 rises 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 services performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service 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 unswerving 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 substance to the needy.
TO BE CAREFUL with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.
