The Norwich Lions Club is a service organization that supports our community. As you are probably aware, Lions programs in Norwich include vision screening of young children, provision of eye exams and glasses for needy persons and we are also supportive of the Melvin Jones Organization. We continue to Donate to this Organization Annually.

The fellowship which was created in 1973, takes its name from the founder of Lions Clubs International(LCI), Melvin Jones.

It is an honor---not an award. The fellowship was established as LCIF'S highest form of recognition to acknowledge an individual's dedication to humanitarian service.

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.
