Ostheller earns first-ever Progressive Melvin Jones Award; new board installed

Past District Governor Patrick Burch gives Karl Ostheller the club's first-ever Progressive Melvin Jones Award.

Our club's annual Installation and Awards Night took place at the Kiana Lodge yesterday. Top awards went to Karl Ostheller (Progressive Melvin Jones Fellowship) for his leadership with Leos at the district and club levels, the Peace Poster contest, and collecting teddy bears for Mary Bridge Children's Hospital among other things.
