Membership

Any person of good character is encouraged to apply to join our great group of men and women who want to “give back” to the community.

We invite you to a complimentary breakfast or dinner meeting to experience our Club.  Please help us with our meal count by advising your sponsor of your intent to attend or contact us on this site.

Joining requires a Lion sponsor and one can be found by simply  contacting the Club and submitting our River Hills / Lake Wylie Lions Club Membership Application.

Where and when do you meet?

Dinner Meetings and Dinner Events are 7:00 pm on the 1st Tuesday in January through March, June and September through December. There are none in April, May, July or August. Breakfast Meetings are the third Saturday of each month except December at 8:00 am. Both meetings are held at the River Hills Country Club. The Lions Club makes arrangements with River Hills Security for Lions members to have immediate and easy access through the Main Gate of River Hills on hwy 49. (It is the first Left after crossing the Buster Boyd Bridge coming into SC.)

How much are dues?

River Hills / Lake Wylie Lions Club Dues are $70.00 / quarter. All expenses associated with our monthly breakfast and monthly dinner meetings are covered by your dues.  There is a one-time $40 joining fee that supports Lions International and the quarterly dues are pro-rated for new members.

What is expected of me if I join the River Hills Lions?

First & foremost we expect you attend most meetings, have fun and enjoy the fellowship. In addition each Lion is expected to contribute her or his expertise, passion or energy on at least one fundraiser or service project each year.


Responsibilities

Members recognize that the Lions Club is a service organization and they are open and willing to volunteer their time to worthwhile causes of their choosing. Many of the Lions participate in several of the fundraising events, serve on the Board of Directors and help with administrative duties.

Specific obligations of active members include regular attendance, prompt payment of dues, participation in Club activities and conduct reflecting a favorable image of the Club in the community.

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.
