Lion Larry (blue, flowered shirt) was the honored recipient of the Melvin Jones Fellowship in 2006. Standing with him in the top photo are other Melvin Jones recipients (from left to right: Lions Jim, Herb, Manny and Dick).
The Melvin Jones Fellowship is recognition of a commitment to humanitarian work. It is not an award in the tradition of Lions awards presented for specific accomplishments.
The fellowship is an honor given to individuals who contribute the equivalent of US$1,000 to LCIF, and persons for whom such donations are made by others.
The fellowship is the foundation's highest honor and represents humanitarian qualities such as generosity, compassion, and concern for the less fortunate.
Melvin Jones Fellows receive a lapel pin and a personalized wall plaque in honor of their commitment to helping others.
The fellowship was created in 1973, and is named for the founder of Lions Clubs International, Melvin Jones.
This photo shows past Melvin Jones recipients: Lions Dick P., Manny, Dennis, Jim, Herb and Dick R.
