UA Action Civitan
Purpose:
The club’s purpose is to serve the
community, provide opportunities for members' fellowship, and increase
members' knowledge. This is done by identifying needs not met by other
organizations or individual efforts. In all they do, Civitans
seek experiences that provide life direction, character building, leadership
development, and the satisfaction of helping others. As a result of this, a Civitan typically experiences a heightened sense of
self-esteem and accomplishment.

Originally written in

I AM CIVITAN: as old as life, as young as the rainbow, as endless
as time.
MY HANDS do the work of the world and reach out in service to
others.
MY EARS hear the cry of children and the call thoughout the world for peace, guidance, progress, and
unity.
MY MOUTH utters the call to daily duty and speaks prayers in
every tongue.
MY MIND teaches me respect for law and the flag of my country.
MY HEART beats for every friend, bleeds for every injury to
humanity, and throbs with joy at every triumph of truth.
MY SOUL knows no fear but its own unworthiness.
MY HOPE is for a better world through Civitan.
MY MOTTO: builders of good citizenship.
MY BELIEF: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
MY
PLEDGE: to practice the Golden
Rule and to build upon it a better and nobler citizenship.
