Melvin Jones Fellow Recognized

Recently, at a club meeting, Lion Brent Porter was recognized as a Melvin Jones Fellow by the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), the East Cocalico Lions Club and District Governor Carl Spellman, for his commitment to serving the world community.

Named for the founder of Lions Clubs International, Melvin Jones, this fellowship is the highest form of recognition given by the foundation and honors commitment to humanitarian service. Lion Brent has been “Serving” since 2004 and has “Served” as President of the club twice.

Each year the president of the East Cocalico Lions Club is given $1,500.00 toward a “President Project” of his choice. Last year, during his second term as President, Lion Brent gave his President Project to LCIF. He received a finely crafted plaque, a letter from Past Lions International President Douglas X. Alexander and a lapel pin acknowledging his dedication to the foundation’s humanitarian goals. As a Melvin Jones Fellow, he became a part of the growing network of individuals who are committed to improving the quality of life for people locally and in communities around the world.

Lions Clubs International Foundation is the charitable arm of Lions Clubs International. Established in 1968, LCIF is committed to providing humanitarian services to those in need, including providing disaster relief, saving sight, supporting youth, and combating disability.

The members of the East Cocalico Lions, who have been “Lighting the Way” in their community for more than 75 years, congratulate Lion Brent for becoming the club’s newest Melvin Jones Fellow and thank him for giving unselfishly of his time and efforts to “Serve” not only his local community, but also the world.
