The New England Lions Council hosted an evening to benefit the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF). Mehendra Amarasuriya, 2008 President, Lions Club International, from Columbo, Sri Lanka presented the Melvin Jones Fellowship to Groton Lion William Foreman, Waterford, and the Progressive Melvin Jones Fellowship to Groton Lion Hugh Casey, Mystic. The Melvin Jones Fellow Award is the most prestigious award that Lions Club International Foundation presents to honor someone who demonstrated exemplary service to LCIF and their local community over several years. The Progressive Fellowship is awarded to someone who has previously received the Melvin Jones Fellowship and continues to emulate the Lions’ Motto of “We Serve” in an exemplary manner. Kudos to these Resident friends on page 19.
