Lionism
Who Are We?
-
WE ARE NOT A POLITICAL
ORGANIZATION, yet among our
members will be found leaders of all political parties and factions.
-
WE ARE NOT A SOCIAL
CLUB, yet we are directed to take an
active interest in the social welfare of our various communities.
-
WE ARE NOT A YOUTH
ORGANIZATION, yet we participate in so
many youth programs and projects in this nation and abroad that it is
hard to determine if the dog is wagging the tail or the tail is wagging
the dog.
-
WE ARE NOT A WELFARE
ORGANIZATION, yet over the years, in
good times and bad, countless thousands of less fortunate people have
been the recipients of the generosity of Lions.
-
WE ARE NOT A SPORTS OR RECREATIONAL
AGENCY, yet
thousands of boys have been thrilled with Little League programs and
many other activities built around the training of the minds and bodies
of our youth, both boys and girls.
-
WE ARE NOT A RELIGIOUS
BODY, yet the precepts we live by are
familiar to the doctrines of the world's spiritual bodies.
-
WE ARE NOT A MEDICAL OR HEALTH
ORGANIZATION, yet,
our clubs have performed miracles in this wide panorama of
community and individual service.
-
WE ARE NOT AN EDUCATIONAL
FOUNDATION, yet thousands of
students are today in schools built by Lions.
-
WE ARE NOT A UNITED
NATIONS, yet we are an instrument of
peace. Lionism, born while the world was aflame, has grown strong,
under the nourishment of freedom and liberty.
