Year 2003 PROJECTS.
SHARE-A-JOY PROJECT. The club
led by its President Arnold A. Tolentino just recently conducted its annual
gift-giving ?Share-a-Joy? project at SSS Canteen. About 100 children of SSS
utility and security personnel benefited from this project. Already on its 3rd
year, the club?s flagship project was extended to other places, thus bringing
the joy of Christmas to around 70 special children of Batino Elementary School,
120 street-children scattered along Katipunan Avenue and Barangka Marikina, 200
children of Smokey Mountain residents, 130 senior citizens of the Home for the
Aged and 69 abandoned children of Boys Town. Lion EMILY P. MÖLLER of KÄRNAN
HELSINGBORG LC of Sweden was on hand to witness one of the said gift-giving
activities. Incidentally, Lion Emily?s club will use the QC Bahaghari Executive
LC this January 2004 as its conduit in providing assistance to CRIBS,
Philippines, Inc., an orphanage and nursing home of incest victims and sexually
abused women.

CO-OPERATION/COLLABORATION/NET-WORKING AMONGST LIONS
The cause of Lionism is
advanced when members of Clubs co-operate, collaborate and net-work amongst
themselves. The Presidents of the Baguio Kindasan Lions Club Lion Sonia Daoas,
Philippine QC New Century Lions Club Lion Ignacio "Boyet" R Colesio and
Quentin City Bahaghari Executive Lions Club Lion Arnold Tolentino met in
Manila towards the end of August 2003 to greet each other and also to lay the
foundation for friendship, future joint projects and the advancement of Lionism.
President Sonia of Baguio
Kindasan had not met the other two before, though they live a mere two to three
hundred miles apart and what was unique in their meeting was that they were
introduced to each other by a Lion living a good three thousand miles away in
Queensland, Australia. Of course it was an electronic introduction and the
Australian Lion has still to meet in person the three Presidents.

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 arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards
others, to resolve such doubts 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
