District Governor David Risley (above) and Dale Anderson (below with wife Bev), a Poulsbo Lions Club member for more than 40 years, were honored by Lion Elda Armstrong with the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award at the club's 70th anniversary bash Thursday evening at the Sons of Norway.
The fellowship, which was created in 1973, is
named in honor of the founder of Lions Cubs International, Melvin Jones. The
fellowship was established as LCIF’s highest form of recognition to acknowledge
an individual’s dedication to humanitarian service.
Melvin Jones Fellows receive an attractive lapel pin, a plaque and a congratulatory letter.
The recipient of this award becomes a model
because of the exemplary service to his club and the community for which it
serves.
We are
proud to have within our membership individuals that have received the Melvin
Jones Fellowship Award.
