Probably the highest accolade any Lion member can\u00a0receive is the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"MelvinThe Melvin Jones Fellowship, was created in 1973, takes its name from the founder of Lions Clubs International, Melvin Jones. It is an honor\u2013not an award. The Melvin Jones Fellowship was established as Lions Clubs International Foundation\u2019s (LCIF) highest form of recognition to acknowledge an individual\u2019s dedication to humanitarian service.<\/p>\n

Lions Clubs International recognizes outstanding individuals by bestowing on them an award that is named for its founder, Melvin Jones. This Fellowship Award is the highest form of recognition and embodies humanitarian ideas consistent with the nature and purpose of Lionism. The recipient of this award becomes a model because of the exemplary service to his club and the community for which it serves.<\/p>\n

Previous Melvin Jones Fellowship Award recipients meet each year to discuss potential award recipients. An award is not granted each year. It is instead granted only if there is a Lion who earned it. This decision is made by previous award recipients only. The Officers, Board, and other Lions do not weigh in on this decision.<\/p>\n

Bourne and District Lions Club are very proud to have individuals who have received the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
