The Rockaway Lions meet the 1^st and 3^rd Tuesdays each month at 11:30am

Rockaway Lions Club is a group of neighbors who show up, pitch in, and make a real difference in our community.

We’re made up of people from all walks of life, individuals, couples, and families who want to give back, meet great people, and be part of something meaningful.

Being a Lion means more than volunteering. It means building friendships, supporting local causes, and taking pride in the place we live. Whether it’s lending a hand at events, raising funds for community projects, or helping someone in need, what we do matters.

If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, this is a great place to start.

The Lions Code of Ethics:

• TO SHOW my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I my merit 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 advantages 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 unwaving 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.
