The BATTLE LAKE LIONS CLUB shall strive to meet the Objects of Lions Clubs International:

• TO CREATE and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world
• TO PROMOTE the principles of good government and good citizenship
• TO TAKE an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community
• TO UNITE the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding
• TO PROVIDE a forum for the open discussion 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 standard in commerce, industry, professions, public works and private endeavors

The CLUB will focus its attention on community based projects which will impact the Battle Lake area by raising money, providing in-kind labor and material, and by scheduling, hosting, and promoting activities which will benefit the community.
 

The CLUB will also seek to be a good community citizen in its actions and programs.  The net proceeds of all fundraising from the public will be donated back to charity and community based projects in accordance with the guidelines of Lions International.

The CLUB will strive to provide general meetings that keep members informed about Lionism, the state of the Club and provide programs that will inform and motivate members in accordance with the Objects of Lions Clubs International.
