We are always looking for civic-minded citizens who
are interested in joining the world's largest service
organization and are willing to donate some time
and effort toward making our community a better place
in which to live. If you are interested in visiting the
Buena Vista Lions Club, please contact Club President Lion
Tom Lominac (540-261-7578) to receive an
invitation.
You can join us and learn more about what Lions
really do to help their fellow man. Membership in a
Lions Club is by invitation only. Through membership,
Lions not only help people in need, but develop
personal friendships and gain valuable leadership
skills.

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 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 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,
as 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. |
