Two Hillsboro Lions Club members recently received recognition as Melvin Jones Fellows.
This recognition represents their "dedication to humanitarian service to the highest degree."
Hillsboro Lions Club President (2017 and 2018) Lion Gary Ames and twice past president Lion David Lowell were presented with the recognition by the Hillsboro Lions Club for their work in the Hillsboro community.
The Melvin Jones Fellowship was established in 1973 and is named for the founder of Lions Clubs International, Melvin Jones. It is an honor – not an award. The Melvin Jones Fellowship was established as Lions Clubs International Foundation’s highest form of recognition to acknowledge an individual’s dedication to humanitarian service.
The fellowship is the backbone of the Lions Clubs International Foundation. Melvin Jones Fellows receive an attractive lapel pin, a plaque and a congratulatory letter.
• Also, the Hillsboro Lions Club has announced that it will be accepting used solar eclipse glasses in the glasses drop box. Any organization that would want to collect them for the Lions can deliver them to a meeting. The glasses are being collected to be sent to Astronomers Without Borders. They will take them to Africa to be used by students to view the solar eclipse over Africa in 2018. This is a STEM project for them.
The Hillsboro Lions meet the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at the Hillsboro Elks. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. with a meeting following the meal. Anyone with an interest in benefiting the community is welcome to attend a meeting.
