ABOUT
OUR CLUB
LIONS
CLUB OF WHEATON, Ltd.
The Wheaton Den of LIONS International was established
October 23, 1923. LIONS International was founded in
Chicago, Illinois, in 1917 by insurance agent Melvin
Jones and others. Lions Clubs International has ever
since offered business and professional people a way
of sharing their success by helping those less fortunate
than themselves. The association became international
when a club was formed in Canada in 1920.
A
highlight of its early history was a speech at the 1925
convention, when the legendary Helen Keller challenged
the Lions to become "knights of the blind in the
crusade against darkness." They responded, and
Lions are now best known for their sight-related programs,
including SightFirst, the world's largest blindness
prevention program.

Lions
Code of Ethics
TO
SHOW my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious
application to the end that 1 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 selfrespect 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 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 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 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 destry.
