About Bishop Lions Club

Proudly serving Bishop and the Eastern Sierra community

Our History

Serving Since 1952

The Bishop Lions Club has been a cornerstone of our community for over 70 years. Founded in 1952, our club has grown from a small group of dedicated individuals to a vibrant organization of members committed to making a difference.

As part of Lions Clubs International—the world's largest service club organization with 1.4 million members in over 200 countries—we're connected to a global network of people who share our passion for service.

Our club focuses on vision care, youth programs, and community development. We've provided thousands of vision screenings, supported local schools, and contributed countless volunteer hours to make Bishop a better place to live.

The Lions Code of Ethics

1

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.

2

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.

3

To remember that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's.

4

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.
