Lions Club members do not serve others in order to receive financial rewards. The reward is the satisfaction of helping people in need and improving numerous communities.

A simple "thank you," sincerely expressed is often appreciated. Displaying this small gesture of gratitude will be appreciated by the Lions who have helped make activities and projects a success.

At every level of the association, awards are available to provide a more permanent form of appreciation. Perhaps the most important award that a Lions can receive is recognition by their fellow Lions.
