Flashback Friday: Irymple Pool Party Nov 2013

In November 2013 with help from the Irymple Council the Sunraysia Leo’s threw a Family Pool Party at the local Irymple pool. This was our first community event and despite the weather there was a good turn out and everyone had a lot of fun.

We all learnt a lot from both planning and implementing the party. There will definitely be more in the future so keep an eye out for dates.

Purposes

To organize, charter and supervise service clubs to be known as lions clubs.

To coordinate the activities and standardise the administration of lions clubs.

To create and foster a spirit of understanding among the people of the world.

To promote the principles of good government and good citizenship.

To fund and otherwise serve the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community.

To assist financially, culturally, socially, and morally the disabled, disadvantaged and infirm of the community both directly and also indirectly.

To unite the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding.

To provide a forum for the open discussion of all matters of public interest; provided, however, that partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not be debated by club members.

To encourage service-minded people to serve their community without personal financial reward, and to encourage efficiency and promote high ethical standards in commerce, industry, professions, public works and private endeavours.

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 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 destroy.
