Accolades were also heaped on Dr. Raff Sayeed for his humanitarian service with the Lions for the past 47 years in Lloydminster.
Sayeed was honoured as a Melvin Jones Fellow from the Lions Club International Foundation, the highest recognition award available.
To serve your fellow human beings is a privilege and an honour.
“I am actually speechless, but I’d like to say just one thing,” said Sayeed.
“To serve your fellow human beings is a privilege and it’s an honour and I was just doing something that I got more out of than giving.”
Club secretary Kathy Smithson was also in shock and awe as a recipient of a Marvin Chambers Fellowship from the Saskatchewan Lions Foundation for her contributions.
“This is overwhelming. Thank you very much,” said Smithson.
